How exciting - I can welcome 3 new members to my blog! I am happy to see you here.

This one is titeled "Winter" - I thought its appropriate for the season.... The artist basically turned an oil painting into a sculpture - I guess one can call it CASEing - below is the original painting by Arcimboldo I hope you like your pictures and perhaps more important - you continue to enjoy what I do here ;) .....

So lets greet the new members in order of joining: jellybeanerz - so sorry, could not find a blog, but I will add it, if you let me know Shery  the owner of those gorgeous Stamplorations stamps (I linked the shop, so you can check them out yourself).  Sandi Munro , who in addition to her own blog is on the DT for Addicted to Stamps and More  and Inkspirational I am in awe of all this talent that is joining my blog - I hope you will like what I'll make the future. And here is my welcome picture for you: I just love this - it is by El Anatsui , who had an exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum last March.
