Thank you, Trudi for coming up with this fun idea!

Sisters With Attitude
I am so excited to be part of a Sisters With Attitude - a mixed media collaboration by the members of the Tumble Fish Studio Creative Team. This project was the brainchild of the amazing Trudi Sissons of Two Dresses Studio. We all had the chance to play with a new product called Craft At...

Love the re-design. Now I know just how to find you in all of your new hang-outs :-)

Tidy up and Make Over
Not a full make over, just a little update for the blog. New header, new filmstrip with buttons that take you to more places. The newest additions are for facebook and for an on line gallery at 500px. Check them out when you have time. Again, many thanks Lissa ~ I know my limits and it is NOT...
Wow! Proof to me that I should save those shots I think are not worth much. Look at the beauty you've made out of this!

The End of The Tulips
I had great fun painting this image. I used one texture of my own and two from Melissa Gallo/Painted Textures ~ Mint and Messy Gesso. I especially enjoyed painting the petals of the tulips. Click on the image to view it larger. . . Here is the starting point, the original image: Sometim...
I need to get in the habit of checking in with your at facebook. It is not on my regular list of spots to visit. I used to enjoy sitting down with Flickr and catching up with what you've been up to, but it is not as comfy there as it used to be. I need to find a new rhythm...

What's New ~
Well, I have joined more social media ~ facebook. I owe it all to the prodding of certain people, but mostly my nephew's wife, Lauren, who happens to work for facebook! There were just too many things that I did not "get" until she sat down with me at my computer while visiting last weekend. ...
Seeing the mustard in bloom brings back memories of our road trip to the wine country last year. Happy memories :-)

Wild Mustard
Wild mustard is blooming everywhere in Northern California ~ field after field of yellow against the spring sky. Some call it a flower, some call it a weed ~ either way, I found them delightful on this particular day. Hope your day brings you a "delight", as well. ~K
cute toes!

Happy Birthday, Mom
My mother is 89 years old today :-) I will be taking this "cookie forest" to her this morning ~ molasses cookies :-) Have a wonderful Tuesday. ~K
dandelions and fireflies :-)

A Little Lensbaby Fun
I am trying the new aperture disks that fit with the lensbaby lenses. This one is a sunburst disk: Pretty cool, huh? I kinda like what it does with the bokeh background. I think I will play around some more and see how the other shapes look. I do hope you are heading into a wonderful ...
I am looking forward to making a mess tomorrow too! I have to fit in a dentist and hair appointment, but I won't let that stop me!

I Need To Make a Mess!
I had the real need for a "messy" day today ~ but it turned out to be all digital. . . Even making a "digital mess" was good for me. . . Happy Weekend ~K
Oooh...Experimental Tuesday. Will this be a new series? I think this really has potential - love the playful, painted look.

A Lemon
Personal challenge ~ take a photo that is a lemon and try to make something wonderful with it ~ my attempt ~ it may not be wonderful but I am learning a lot about light layers of paint. The photo is of a leather chair tucked into a corner of the shed at the Inn at Park Winters ~ a lovely ches...
You did such a great job with all of these skies, Karen - it is hard to choose a favorite. These are a wonderful exploration of the quality of the light as much as they are about your walk through the city.

A Quick Little Tour
Images from our trip to Italy ~ these are from Florence. We began one evening at dusk at the Piazza Michelangelo above the city, walking and shooting as it got darker. We walked into the night ending up at the area around The Duomo, the large dome on the right in this first image. Walking d...
What an absolutely perfect quote for this image.

She Turned ~
"She turned to the sunlight and shook her yellow head an whispered to her neighbor: 'Winter is dead'." ~ A. A. Milne ~ When We Were Very Young ~K
Yikes, I never imagined you had to drill all those tiny holes too. The things we do for our art!

Project 45
Do you ever have a crazy idea that sticks in your mind until you see it through? I have these ideas all the time. This one has been on the back burner in my brain for a long time and it finally worked its way out this past weekend. The records have tiny holes drilled, threads tied, and then s...
That old truck is sure looking fine. It absolutely glows after all your careful polishing.

Mud on the Tires
A few weeks ago I had a delightful day with my friend Shirina. We went to the Apple Hill area to see the orchards and stumbled upon this lovely rusty, crusty vintage flatbed truck. It was sitting outside the Boeger Winery ~ how could we resist? Of course, I couldn't leave it looking so sad sitti...
I really like how you have "aged" this photo. I seems so much more right with the texture added.

The Famous Ponte di Rialto Bridge
The famous Ponte di Rialto Bridge in Venice, via water taxi ride. We took several shots at night from on top the bridge, but this one was from the water taxi. Still many images to process and sort. I give you the after and the before image. As you can see, it was a beautiful day ~ muc...
Sounds like Galveston is going to be getting a great new teacher :-)

Spring is Here ~
Spring is here in all it's glory. Flowers are poking up and spreading out, but so are the weeds. These calendula/pot marigolds come up every year, sometimes in unexpected places. But their warm colors are most welcome. The same for the camomile, it self sows readily. I'm quite fond of pu...
I love looking at the details - every time I look I see something new. Like a treasure hunt.

Pure Fantasy
Welcome to my imaginary place ~ although I'm not sure if it is a hotel, an island, or a treehouse. All buildings were disassebled and reassembled from photographs taken in Italy, so perhaps it is an Italian Imaginary Place. Layer after layer, handpainted background, painted trees and shrubs,...
Great job on this, Karen! Lovely simplicity. I am imagining that is a fringed silk scarf she is hanging on her line, even though it probably isn't. A girl can dream...

Wash Day
Wash day, which I suppose was everyday since I saw and loved all the laundry hanging from windows throughout the towns we traveled. Of all the laundry lines I photographed I finally got one with someone actually pegging the laundry. And the original: The little town of Riomaggiore. Still...

Such a beautiful transformation, Karen! So glad you are finding time to paint :-)

In the Marina ~
~ the boats wait patiently. I think they were as colorful as the hillside homes in Riomagiore. Paintwork, textured, a little Art History Brushwork for touch up. Again, I offer you the finished image along with the original photo. I have the idea of a final image in my mind, but am still unabl...
OK, this makes me want to paint my house. Or maybe move to Italy :-)

The Colors I Fell In Love With
Everywhere I looked I saw beautiful saturated colors ~ I loved it all! Comparison images. Vernazza, Liguria, Italy. Corel Paint work and texture work. More later. . . ~K

Hmmm. I keep looking at PL, but have not taken the leap. I love the idea of all the tiny pockets, but I'm not sure that I prefer it to my journal. I will enjoy watching you create your pages over the next few weeks.

A Short Exploration into Project Life: My Set Up
I am still figuring things out as I go - and it is only day 5... but I thought I would show you how I have things set up to make my Project Life Exploration a little easier to handle day to day. The above photo shows my work desk - where I do all my designing and what not. Next to my computer,...
