Wishing for each one of you....the BEST New Year EVER!!! 

better not pout

You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town!

He's making a list,
He's checking it twice,
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice.

Christmas is upon us

 

 

Christmas is fast approaching~ 4 days!!  How did that happen!?  I have never been so disorganized for Christmas in my whole lil' existance~  I am so unprepared, and I still haven't done any shopping~  oh my!!

I am definately exposing myself to the world~

I DO NOT know how to draw, I desperately want to, so I joined Suzi Blu Classes~  here is a first attempt~

I watched one video & within 15 minutes I was drawing~ I forsee forlorn little girly dolls in my future ;)

secrets

 

tonight on etsy~

Imprisoned inside her
Is a secret
Buried so deep
No one will ever see

 

deep within me

 

today on ebay~

Deep within me
Life’s crawling and wasting my days
Another night gone and I know there will be another way
I’m leading myself to be free
In this eternal goodbye.. ~ Lacuna Coil

I created her while listening to Within Me by Lacuna Coil

sea of sorrows

 

on etsy~

Farewell false love, the oracle of lies, 
A mortal foe and enemy to rest, 
An envious boy, from whom all cares arise, 
A bastard vile, a beast with rage possessed, 
A way of error, a temple full of treason, 
In all effects contrary unto reason. 

A poisoned serpent covered all with flowers, 
Mother of sighs, and murderer of repose, 
A sea of sorrows whence are drawn such showers 
As moisture lend to every grief that grows; 
A school of guile, a net of deep deceit, 
A gilded hook that holds a poisoned bait. 

A fortress foiled, which reason did defend, 
A siren song, a fever of the mind, 
A maze wherein affection finds no end, 
A raging cloud that runs before the wind, 
A substance like the shadow of the sun, 
A goal of grief for which the wisest run. 

A quenchless fire, a nurse of trembling fear, 
A path that leads to peril and mishap, 
A true retreat of sorrow and despair, 
An idle boy that sleeps in pleasure's lap, 
A deep mistrust of that which certain seems, 
A hope of that which reason doubtful deems. 

Sith then thy trains my younger years betrayed, since
And for my faith ingratitude I find; 
And sith repentance hath my wrongs bewrayed, revealed
Whose course was ever contrary to kind: nature
False love, desire, and beauty frail, adieu. 
Dead is the root whence all these fancies grew. 

Sir Walter Raleigh

forlorn my love

 

Forlorn, My Love, No Comfort Near

Air-"Let me in this ae night."

Forlorn, my Love, no comfort near,
Far, far from thee, I wander here;
Far, far from thee, the fate severe,
At which I most repine, Love.

O wert thou, Love, but near me!
But near, near, near me,
How kindly thou wouldst cheer me,
And mingle sighs with mine, Love.

Around me scowls a wintry sky,
Blasting each bud of hope and joy;
And shelter, shade, nor home have I;
Save in these arms of thine, Love.

Cold, alter'd friendship's cruel part,
To poison Fortune's ruthless dart-
Let me not break thy faithful heart,
And say that fate is mine, Love.

But, dreary tho' the moments fleet,
O let me think we yet shall meet;
That only ray of solace sweet,
Can on thy Chloris shine, Love!
O wert thou

~Robert Burns

Keith Lo Bue has a blog !!!!!!!

 

I cannot even express how thrilled I am to find out that Keith Lo Bue has finally joined us in the land of blogging!!  Possibly, we will soon discover what makes this man tick~  like I have mentioned many times before..."he's brilliant, one of the Greats' of our time"  When I stumbled upon his world a few years ago, it changed my life forever.  Through his work I discovered this incredible realm of altered art, and I am forever grateful to him. 

I invite you to check out his new blog Stuffsmith and his amazing website  

Here are a  few pieces of his art that I have the honor of owning~

 

 

 

This is photo of Keith & I at Artfest at vendor night, he was wearing his "famous" attire...the kilt, big cozy sweater with this amazing cologne that could knock you off your feet. I think it was called "B Men"?  In this photo he is also wearing for the last time, the piece "What Is Not Forbidden " which I bought that weekend.  My favorite creation by Keith~ When I brought the piece back to the bed & breakfast I stayed at,  the cologne had seeped into the leather on the back of the piece & the fragrance flooded my room, it was a bit eery, in a good way.  ~
