Thankyou to you all who asked after my health this week...seriously, I have been and still am the sickest I have been since I had pneumonia ten years ago...and it's only the flu!!!with asthma thrown in I have had minimal sleep, but on the brighter note I have had it for so long it's got to get better soon...my only hope is that Jacob does not get it....
OK...enough about me..lol...and onto my art...I have to tell you I tried to make balloons on a gift bag, and because the gift bag was brown it looked blah!!!!!
So, luckily that only took me about half an hour to do and it was when I didn't reach my pinnacle of illness, so today I just went for it...drew up my hippie with flowers in her hair, I used water soluable wax crayons and acrylics and some water colour pencils, I used a paper doily and a punched butterfly and some gorgeous kaisercraft rhinestones....
at first I was going to write on it ...let us live like hippies and live on love...but Jacob thought it sounded too ewww!!!...lol...!!! and husband suggested why don't you write ...love is all you need...going with the whole beatles theme suited me to a tee...
so...there you have it...
my hippie girl living on love...oh...if only life were that simple...
until next time
lots of it
Mandy

Hi Mandy, just popped back to let you know you have won one of the Bottletop Sisters. If you visit my blog you will see which one and how to claim it. Congratulations. Annette x
Hi Mandy, hope you are feeling better. Sometimes those pieces that you just put together quick are the best because you don't really think them through. Funny how art goes. I love this.
Take care of yourself.
