Just a quickie & New WIP

Scheduled a few too many things today so I'll try to be brief....

1st I really want to thank all of you who have taken the time to stop by & leave your encouraging comments. I've been lax on responding & for that I apologize.

There are some great new houses on the OzBushfire Etsy shop. I will post pics & artist links soon, probably tomorrow. Went to do it yesterday but got distracted - after a challenging day, I really needed some "art therapy". Little Red was on the prowl last night so I let her stretch her legs on a new canvas.

WIP - 2 in the bush

I've never been a series kind of person, always flitted from 1 technique or idea to the next before getting all the ideas out. But Red's become an icon - figure I'll just let her hang out a while. Once she has her say, she'll move on.

Speaking of....gotta fly...if you time pop by papercutsbyjoe & check out this amazing piece - a merging of his wife's profile & tree branches. My newest fave!

  2. Hey Stacey - as I've stated before, I'm rather fond of Red. I notice that your WIP looks the same or similar to your avatar - am I correct? Are you doing another piece that is similar to your avatar but going to be different some way?

    My apologies back to you for not be a more active commentor/responder lately - been totally busy at work and stuff this week.

  3. Yep, Mike. The avatar is a crop from a collage I kept.

    I've had some requests for Red Riding Hood in the shop & since she keeps hanging around, a few variants are popping into my head.

    Did you catch Saturday's post? She had a new look then :D

  5. Lovely WIP--I'm doing just the opposite of you lately, normally I like to work in series but I've been doing a lot of onesies and twosies lately just to experiment on different techniques. I think the bottom line is to just follow your muse, no matter where she takes you!

  9. Hi Stacey -
    Red has a definite presence. Keep on with her . . . fantastic work.
    She has the look of a heroine. . . maybe a storyline to follow??
