Reaping in the Breeze

Kind of like the label for this blog post -- Reaping in the Breeze, reminding me of an ole time rival meetin'. But no, that is not where we are going tonight. Many months ago I took a workshop with Claudine Hellmuth and we learned about "transfers" ... I am "transfer" challenged and I really think it is because I don't do it that often. The piece to the left was completed at the workshop. Patterns underneath other images and I love the lady.

I found this and two other pieces in the scary place: The Closet. I had really forgotten about them. Since I have been focusing on the alphabet ATC cards, I decided I needed to set them aside for this week. Yup, only three left. I will work on them again this weekend. Hopefully, I might be able to whip them out. How come is it the last ones are the hardest to complete?

Anyway, I took this piece of canvas and started playing with it. I had a book, Brother Odd, that I was done with and so I cut out the image from the cover of the paperback.


And I had my Epiphany..... the Grim Reaper...... Oh what a twisted mind I have, yes a little twisted and wicked:


I looked through some my my rusty pieces found in my parking lot and added two of them around her head - To me it looks like an upside down key hole...

And the finished work..... a few jewels here and there, a few rhinestones, and the reaper does his reaping....

Not certain if I am done with it or not ... but it can just sit and "cure." I am now playing with the second transfer piece which I am not as crazy about as this one. Its title might be "Paris Burning" - so, if you will excuse me I will begin to play with images on top of the transfer on canvas! It has been a busy week and I am kind of yawning right now and my Ghost Hunter Boys are on tonight.. . You all have a great evening..... Hugs to all.....
