  10. I never quite know what I may find when I visit you - fancy seeing one of the famous Buckingham Palace Guards & I love the way he's perched on the word "London." Your kale photo is so interesting & I'm astonished what Pixelmator magic did to it - it looks like an exploding meteorite in that one.
    Hope you have a good rest of January.

  20. I love that snazzy hat! I was wondering if that was a selfie too. The home tag is so pretty. I especially like the sewing on it.
    The London tag is wonderful! And the kale photo is pretty just as is and then you made it really wow when you altered it!

  33. All beautiful art pieces, but I particularly admire the graphic qualities of the portrait with the hat, at the beginning.
    I was reading your comment on Giggles' post, and just from 'meeting' you through blogs can add to your list of your four qualities 'generous' 'kind' and 'caring'. So glad to have met you.

Your photos of the kale are so pretty. We are expecting 14 inches of snow tonight, so I can't see anything in my garden currently, and love the color of your plant!

  55. It's always a pleasure to visit your blog because there is inspiration galore. Love the portrait in your art journal...he is stylin'! Your two tags are very cool...lots of detail and layers to explore. Thanks for Joining our Anything Goes/Ribbons and Pearls challenge at Craftitude this fortnight. I hope we see you again soon.

  56. No surprise, I love EVERYTHING you've made and shared here. Such a rich variety, I love that home tag - it is so cozy and colorful - just like HOME should be and will be a lift to anyone who views it. I like the curve of the fence, it adds a special little touch that draws the viewer in to look deeper and then pick up the other elements.

    My other favorite of this post, and it is hard to select, is the altered photo of the cabbage/kale into a vibrant sun, I LOVE THAT!

    Thank you for sharing with us at Opus Gluei, I sound like a broken record but your art is so wonderful, so heartfelt, it brings joy to come over and take a look!

  57. I love the Tag Art, but the Styling journal guy is truly something else. I haven't seen art like yours. Extremely creative. Thanks for the visit. Blessings, Janet PPF
