Doggie Snap Shots

I've been practicing photographing the guys and just wanted to share some of my newest shots.  Let me know what you think. 

My two old men.

The Gang.  They love to be under the table.

Bella & Billingsley

This is how Bella sits all the time.

Guest Bathroom Quick Fix

I wanted to do something quick because if I tried to do something larger I was pretty sure I'd stall out.  I decided to hang a few things in my guest bathroom.  Being budget conscious, I'm just going to use things I have on hand. The only challenge is that most of my art is boxed and hard to get to.  I'll have to figure out how to get it because I have a few places that scream for art.

Here's how it went.

The bathroom on move in day.



How I warmed it up for Sheena :-)


Ok. Here's what I have to work with...

My old shower curtain. The colors are pretty crazy.


 
Painted masks from Bali


I hoped the mask would put a new spin on the 'dated' curtains.  Below is how everything came together. I had to add my favorite flower vase to the bathroom to add another punch of color.  Once I get the artwork in place I'll post new images.

 

It works for now and once the art goes in I think I can move on to something else... then come back to this... I think those mask would make an awesome headboard.  Hmmm, I just can't decide.

April Fools!

Most people who know me well will think this is an April Fools' joke... me actually starting my blog.  I feel like a fool that its actually taken me this long to do something I truly desire, but better late than never.  Thanks Sheena for the final push. 

Since I moved into my house in December 2010 I haven't made much headway.  Too much work and too fatigued.  I thought that doing a blog to let friends and family see my progress would be a great way to get motivated to work on some of those projects.  So stay tuned and I promise to post my first project soon.
