Bloggerette Sorority Sister!

Whoo hoo, I am now a Sorority Sister! Never was interested in college, but this one is going to be great fun. Karen at SomedaysAreDiamonds has started a art blog sorority and there is a long list of participators! Go over to her blog (link below) and check it out, or click on the button in my sidebar. To rush we had to do something with a given image and then post it with our face in the picture (never a favorite!). So here I am:

Of course, I had to do a bit of altering to the original black and white photo, since I have to alter everything! And so I went in a different direction. Here it is close up:

Ok, I must confess. As do many things that turn out better than you thought, this started with a mistake. I had messed up the eye on the woman on the right and I was muttering to myself that I ought to just stick an eye patch on her rather than start over. Our daughter, who happened to be at our house at the time, replied "Yeah, just make her a pirate!" and that's all I needed. I immediately made little pirate hats for them all, and added Once upon A Time... to the top left. It has more bling than shows up in the photograph!

Material used: black and white photo, cardstock, Gel pens, Stardust pens, Micron pens, Stickles, decorative tape, rubber stamp, watercolor, distressed inks, and old metal frame.
