this is where I started you can see where I went!!!

realism.....

back of above piece

crayon background ...then anything from the scrap box

detail from the piece below

the background is a piece of painted fabric with bits of browm paper, tulle, and white plastic garbage bag adhered...them FME'd then the SSL applied ...the SSL is painted on with a limited palate of stencil paints then FME'd to define the individual shapes

sharpie pens then sprayed with alchohol

crayon covered by black acrylic paint then scratched off

crayon

collaged with fabric bits and FME

this is my self portrait that I am sending in to " quilting arts " it is double sided but I forgot to take a picture of the back...you'll have to wait till they publish it on the front AND the back of the magazine...HA HA

post card creation

I did a sreies of post cards for a swap with the theme of " body parts ". In my paying job I do teeth so naturally some of them had to be about that, and also I found some quotes that had to be illustrated too.
