Moulin Rouge

My daughter and I watched one of our favorite movies today...Moulin Rouge. I LOVE this movie. It has everything that I love....bright colors and costumes, sparkly jewelry and crowns, romance, beautiful girl and handsome guy (even though I don't think he's that cute...maybe if it was Ralph Fiennes...it would be total perfection! And, of course the tragic death at the end.

Remarkable Women

Hi there,

I participated in a swap on Art-e-zine and the theme was Remarkable Women. This was really hard for me to pick because I always want to do Audrey Hepburn, but I made myself do someone different. The person I chose was Florence Nightingale because she cared deeply enough for her fellow man to take so many chances in the war and with extremely contagious diseases. Not only that, I learned also that she created the pie chart!! How cool is that?!

Mandalas

I was visiting Anahata's website earlier and she mentioned this artist that she likes and I think is having a workshop over on the West Coast....wish I could go. So, I went to his website and WOW...is this guy awesome! His work is so COLORFUL and spiritual and beautiful! As I'm sure you know, I LOVE lots of color...so check it out my friends: http://mandalas.com/index.php
I can't wait until I have more time to peruse his website more closely and learn more about mandalas, Tibet, etc. I read Goldie Hawn's biography last year and she is a Buddhist and mentions how spiritual and freeing the 'religion' is in her book. (That is an excellent bio too by the way...she is really an incredibly strong woman.) This is my favorite mandala that I could see quickly (my computer is too slow to load all of them and I'm too impatient :-) I can't wait to find out what it means....gotta go!

Caleidoscope

I could look at these for hours! So scrumptiously colorful!!!!

Texas Swap

Howdy pardners ~
Here are some ATC's that I made today for a swap with one of my internet groups. The theme is Texas, my home state, so I couldn't wait to whip these out! (I wish they weren't so blurry...I think I need to look into getting a new scanner.) Ya'll enjoy...
