This one looks a little weird in the picture, but in person it is so neat. The bug in the center was a broken figurine and he is sitting on top of some roses that were left over from another project. All of the flowers around him are from a pillow that started making when I was a teenager. My mother was trying to teach me needlepoint or crewel I'm not sure which. Either way I was never going to finish the pillow and so I was thrilled to chop it up and use it on this collage. I got my husband to cut the sun out of wood for me and I made the butterflies out of a costume jewelry bracelet that had broken and multi-colored feathers.
This is a figurine that I bought some time ago and she didn't really fit in with the other witches in my collection. I like her much more now that I have given her a few changes, stuck her on a canvas and surrounded her with talisman from the Black Pullet.

I've loved going to New Orleans since I was a little girl. I have always found all of the Voodoo stuff fascinating. The painting is done in acrylics and is a woman making a pact with the devil. I also used to be into making Ouija boards. I have always heard that if you want one to actually work it should be real wood, so I made some out of wood and the funny thing is that I have never actually had the nerve to try one out so I still have no clue if any dead people would like to contact me. I guess they will just have to find a more direct way, like taking it off the wall and hurling it at me to get my attention.
This is a picture of me (from a skinny time period a couple of years ago) and behind me is an example of what I tend to do in between projects. Basically, any small item in my house might be at risk. There are things that were picked up on trips or just held onto because they may be useful in some way someday and I glue them on stuff. It's quite enjoyable because not only do I end up with something bright and cheerful and give purpose to overall useless objects, but a lot of times, if I'm on a roll I can get an entire cabinet cleaned out.
