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.

Latest Creation

Here's my latest piece. She was inspired by an by an old advertisement I came across. When I began to recreate her, she started taking on an art deco feel. I'm still not sure if I'm finished with her yet. She may end up looking totally different when all is said and done.
