Another Self-Portrait Wednesday: Hats


Hats
make me feel
flirtatious and fabulous



feminine
and oh-so-proper.

Got a hat in your closet?
Put it on.

Then come on over.
I'll pour the tea.

We'll make an afternoon of it.

Hey Meri
you are becoming friendlier - on better terms with that camera...

This is a gorgeous photo because I can detect a little Meri-spirit coming through...
You look so beautiful and wise...
I hope we meet one day...

There's a hat for every woman, Beth. And sun hats count, Kamana (as do baseball caps, but not for afternoon tea). And Delwyn - you should have seen the ones I deleted. Yuck!

What a great shot of you! I always wore a hat as a kid, something about dressing up in them made me feel I was able to DO ANYTHING!

These days.. I have only (oh my gosh!) a ball cap near by (thanks to Jeff),

might look a lil silly for tea..

but, surely I'd enjoy a sit down with you,

that is if you don't mind the
odd appearance as I do tend to wear it backwards.

*smile*

THANK YOU for taking on the challenge of making an art dress with us.. let ur art speak for us, S&C can't turn down such a loud voice can they?

xo, monica :)

Astrological Profile

Image
So. . . according to the time and place of my birth, my Sun is in Virgo. My Moon is in Scorpio. My rising sign (Ascendant) is in Aries. I tend toward perfectionism and can be critical, sometimes directing it at others but mostly toward myself. I have emotional depth and when I fall in love, I'm totally committed and expect the same of my Beloved (though my secret fear is betrayal). I like being active and my mind is quick. Knowledge is important to me, as is mastery of things that interest me. I tend to dive into things headfirst and sometimes I let myself go hogwild. . . and wear myself out. And often, once I know as much about something as I need to know, I lose interest and am off to the next shiny thing. What's your profile? (And I know that the good stuff applies, but the bad stuff is just so much bunk.)

Art Journal Pages # 34

Image
It's been a while since I worked in my "real" art journal, the one I collage and draw in after having painted the watercolor paper pages with liquid watercolors. Well. . .  painted is probably not an accurate depiction, since I usually saturate a wadded up paper towel  and smear the damp paint on, or maybe sponge it on. And then wait. And wait. Waiting for the page to dry. Then I begin to glue various things onto pages with Yes paste or acrylic gel medium. And wait again. It can sometimes take two or three days to find just the right things for the page, adhere them, and wait for the layer to dry so I can build in the next one. Meanwhile, the thickness of my art journal expands like an unruly waistline. Digital art journaling, on the other hand, is much tidier. And quicker. And just as layered and nuanced. I make these babies on Polyvore.com. If you're interested in learning how, email me (meriak@y...
