Friends - Fairy-fied and Famous Entertainment

One of my most entertaining flickr friends, Zibelline, has kept me giggling and snickering with her comments and laughing 'til my sides hurt with her elaborate story collages. Sue (aka Zibelline) just recently got promoted to Postmaster of Holdingford, MN. We have a great time trying to address her with her newly acquired position. Some have suggested Her Majesty, Honorable, PostMistress, and I think the best one yet was Peacwytch's Postitute. Zibelline is famous for her fluid protein, fluid fish, fluid meat and anything else she can fluid-fy but I did not figure a way to work this into this tribute fairy-fication of her. Sue, this means no more "sadly, this isn't my face" comments from you . . . maybe. I think I'll miss them. Sue doesn't have a blog, so you will have to go to her flickr to visit her. She might come over here to read this though she doesn't blog hop much. Now, what to name this piece . . . . hmmmm . . . .

Her Majesty, the Honorable PostMistress Postitute, Zibelline

This is a 5 x 7 collage using a face from a friend, a body from my own vintage postcard, a crown from keeperofthenest.etsy.com, and boots from a found picture. These pieces were printed in black and white and hand trimmed and hand colored. The wings are from itkupilli.etsy.com. The character was then attached to a background made from merging textures from flickr's JoesSistah and 'Playingwithbrushes' with a stars and stripes background from itkupilli.etsy.com. One letter was scanned from my own vintage ephemera and one is from flickr's cindyiscrafty. Thank you image providers!

Now, I have other friend news I must share with you - someone's famous! I've written here, before, of my buddy, the witty, funny, talented Tace (real name Tracey Truly) whose blog I have been a long time fan of. To my knowledge and the last time I checked, Tace does not have a blog for her artwork but she has an exciting gorgeous website A Little Character. Her blog, All Kinds of Stuff, is full of contemporary Erma Bombeck-ish life is a bowl of cherries only better wit and humor and stories that entertain me more than I can tell you (like being in search of the perfect dish drainer, the saga of her trash containers, buying bottled sea water, etc.). But her artwork, oh, it is amazing. She is a doll sculptor/artist. She just got published for the first time (of many more to come I am sure) in Art Doll Quarterly with a beautifully written article and several of her dolls. You can find her on pages 46, 47, and 48 in the current Aug/Sept/Oct issue. (After her brother refused to, I promised to name my next born child "ADQ 46, 47, 48" just for her) In return, I got my own autographed copy, lucky me! (little does she know my husband got fixed several years ago - hope it holds) I am so thrilled and excited for her! So hop over and congratulate her! (here's the first page of the article)



Today is my Dad's 80th birthday! Here we are having a special lunch together (a FEW years ago) at a quaint little living room spot, using only the best plastic toy china eating hot dogs, peanut butter and jam sandwiches and drinking the finest KoolAid.



I've been busy the last couple of days - we put in new wood around our hot tub deck (and still have to pressure wash and waterproof it today and tomorrow), have laundry going, bills to pay, grocery shopping, and I have to, have to, have to finish three pieces to send to the Alumni exhibition I have been whining about. So, I'm going to be scarce a few more days. Hope you have a great week!
