#2

Here is the second collage in my series of 4 (not yet glazed). The colors I used are a sort of midnight blue and white.



Here they are together (sorry, the picture isn't that great)



Still to come:

Doctor Who
X-Files

Crafty Fun

Today my friend Alexa came over and we decided to get our art on. We ran to the local art store, got some supplies, and went back to my house for some crafty goodness. We both decided to work using acrylic paints. She painted a lovely picture, and I made a collage. You might recognize the style. It looks quite a bit like my pot and is the first in a series of 4 that I will be doing.

Here it is (sorry the photograph is a little dark):

Coming Soon: Angel/Buffy, Doctor Who, and of course, last but certainly not least, Mulder.

A New Pot for Spike

Yesterday I figured out just how I wanted to decorate Spike's new pot. So, a lot of time, glue, pictures, and acrylic paint later, I found myself with this:

Meet Spike!


When I was little I would always go into nurseries and other shops that carried plants. I was always amazed by the colorful cacti and thought it would be really fun to own one. So, yesterday in Home Depot I found this little guy and decided to buy him. Considering my current obsession with Buffy, I decided to name him Spike. So here he is :).

It Must Be Magic

So, as I mentioned in a previous post, I've become rather obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Last night I finally got to watch Once More, With Feeling, the musical episode of Buffy. It was so amazing that right after the episode finished, I was on iTunes eagerly searching for the soundtrack. Unfortunately, they didn't have it so I had to hop over to Amazon.com. Ten minutes after finishing the episode, I had ordered the soundtrack and was eagerly awaiting it's delivery on Friday (I got free 2-day shipping). This was at 11:00 last night. You can imagine my amazement when, upon telling her that I was expecting a package to arrive on Friday, my mother informed me that it was already outside. Sure enough, I went downstairs and my cd was waiting for me on the doorstep.

Supernatural forces must be at work here.
