How I Spent my Summer Vacation!

Hi Everyone! We're back from a wonderful 8 days at Lake Gogebic in Michigan's upper peninsula. We camped in one of the prime sites! I think people would pay big bucks for my room with this view!!!!!!!!
 


While we were there I had lots of time to work on what I love to do best!!!!!!
Here are some of my finished pieces!

Positive Thoughts and Art Nouveau

I am totally fascinated by some of the illustrators of the Art Nouveau Period. I Especially love the work of Alphons Mucha and Rolf Armstrong. I find myself borrowing pieces of their illustrations and altering them to use in some of my postcard art.
 
 
 
These two images are by Rolf Armstrong. I added the brick paper for the background. Pieces of earrings that I got at the dollar store, ribbon, and some metal flowers from Tim Holtz.
Positive Quotes and drawing on the image. All these things, make me Happy:)
