My Artsy Bathroom Tour

 I picked up one of these letters from Hobby Lobby.
 I think I paid a dollar for it.
The surface is a collage is compiled from some old
art magazines. There's a simple folk art
design on the sides. It's sealed with a couple coats
of polyurethane. ~Cute and colorful!
The "P" is for Petersen (in case you were wondering). 

My husband and I can be a wee bit

germaphobic. I guess that comes from 

being in food service for so many years.

Fastidious sanitation habits are second nature. 

This is a commercial paper towel holder that 

I doodle designed and had him hang in 

our guest bathroom. I found the quote

years ago in an old Victoria magazine and saved it, knowing

at some point I'd find a use for it. 

This is the last piece I'll show you today.

It's a little mixed media creation made from a scrap

of wood I had laying around. I've always

loved this Irish blessing and had to have it

hanging in the house somewhere.

Sugar Skull from Sissy

I received a message from my brother

 politely asking me to make him a sugar skull. 

He knows I have an affection

 for Mexican EVERYTHING

(people, art, food, decor. . . ).

I have an appreciation for cultural traditions

 and history even if I don't share in,

 or adhere to the beliefs behind them. 

For this piece, I found a basic skull outline

 online and took it from there. 

Using assorted pens, pencils and markers, it

took me a few days to

finish this piece. 

This was the first of two skulls drawn for him. 

The second one was my favorite, 

but I forgot to get a picture 

before I sent it out.

~So not like me! 

Maybe he'll be so kind as to send me a picture

of the other one and I'll post that as well. 

He was very happy when he got them,

 which makes me very happy.
