I want to grow up and be like Gritty Jane!
I look at the things that Jane does on her blog, and I am so inspired to try my own hand at painting and collaging.
I took an octagonal plaque that I found at the Goodwill, gessoed, and collaged with bits of Latin and English text from an old catholic prayer book. Then I painted a lady/angel/not sure what to call her, experimenting with using glaze with my paint. Got a long way to go, it doesnt look quite how I want it to look, but then, I am not quite sure what I am going for. But Jane is so much fun to watch! She uses all sorts of materials and puts it all together so beautifully!

I think it's coming along nicely, can't wait to see it when you feel it's done. Of course I'm a sucker for stuff with words!
Jill was a bit horrified when I told her what I was going to do with the little old prayerbook, until I told her it was being "re purposed" for some Green Art.
Good job! This is sweet. Now don't get freaked out when you see the little video on my blog, ok? I went off about people copying me...but my guess is you will not be like the folks I am referring to. Take care, Jane
HI! Thanks for your visit to my blog. Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. I found that picture of Mary Todd Lincoln when I put her name into Google Images. I looked at the blog I got it from:
http://supermisc.blogspot.com/2009/02/happy-200th-mr-lincoln.html
but that does not mean it is really her. I don't know what more to do; I hate to have inaccurate information on my blog...Let me know if you find out something!
I quite like her already, and I'll be really interested to see her when she's finished! Thanks for popping over to my blog, and entering my giveaway - I can think of lots of ways you could put some of my paper ephemera to good use!
