Money grows on ... walls???

Did I ever show you this?  It is at a restaurant at Cabbage Key, Florida.  Almost ALL of the walls of this restaurant are COVERED with dollar bills.  People who come there write their name and the date on a bill and tape it to the wall where ever they want.  Julie HAD to do it too!  :D

Roben-Marie's digital lettering

See the *bexarts* lettering in my banner?  That is a digital alphabet brush set made by Roben-Marie Smith!  IT IS SOOO COOL!  She is starting to design digi stuff and I am loving what she is doing.  Go take a look at her blog to see what she is offering....  *Every Life Has a Story*

Starting Over....

If you have found me here again... welcome!  I have begun a new path with my artwork.  I feel like it is exactly where I need to be after many years of lots of experimenting.  I have basically given up *mixed media* as we know it and have gone exclusively to art journaling.  This includes my photography and my writing.  I am settling into a groove that really suits me more than anything I've played with over the past few years.  I am also learning more about using digital imagery in my art.  I am what is known as a *hybrid* art journalist.  Basically, I take my digital results, print them and work them into my art and travel journals, as well as using them in my blog and website.  I am in the process of rebuilding them this summer.  I will share various works later on.  I will also link to designers and sites where I find my digital *equipment*. 

I'll show you one of my first tries at this digital business -- result of a tutorial sold by *Scrap Girls*.
