Shiny pom-pom!

For Self Portrait Tuesday; theme: Shine.

This little gold pom-pom pounced on me on my way to work and I just couldn't resist it. I bounced it in my hand and rubbed it between my fingers the rest of the way, mesmerized. It is a magical worry stone; I'm glad it found me :)

celebrating new art supplies! (self portrait tuesday)

For Self Portrait Tuesday's theme of celebration I am celebrating my new schtuff. My lady and I went to Hobby Lobby and I replenished my red and black paint supply and added island blue and royal fuschia (♥) to the pallete. I also got some ink to play with, an alphabet stencil and a fun ceramics tool that's great for scratching, poking and dripping. Can I get a whoo whoo?!
The furry hat is a staple this week as it's been hella cold in Chicago. But it snowed yesterday so I can't wait to build some anatomically correct snow chicks to scar the brats on the block ;)

PS: I wish my Russian hat was as cool as the purple one Thereza drew here.

hats make the party (self portrait tuesday).

The theme this month at Self Portrait Challenge is celebration. Fun hats are one of my favorite ways to celebrate especially with my lady love. They get us in the mood for crafty good times and adventures. We have a whole list of things to do while wearing our "rice paddy" hats including slow-mo day, baking cupcakes, and being the dancing entourage for our friend Mary.
