Watercolor and McDonald's Fries

Mcdonald's fries are not gluten free!!! There is wheat in the fries, or what they coat them....arrg.  Just happened to find out while searching for gluten free restaurants.  So that explains why last week my mouth was sore, thought it was my sinuses because of the pain.  Not good, also, there is beef in the coating too.  What happened to just potato fries.

Anyway, I have been working on some vintage flower illustrations and turning them into watercolor paintings.  I they turned out cute...

More designs!

I am self taught in just about everything. I hope the more designs I work on the better they get. I like to learn as I go and find it works for me. I think I need some more practice in working with vintage graphics that are composed of lots of colors, getting them ready and resolution ready for large items is tough at this point. I will figure it out!

Ok on to butterflies, bees and crabs...

Change is Coming...

Nothing stays the same, life evolves and has majorly for me. Bad things and good things and now I am at a point of a fresh start to my life.  Sometime in the future I may elaborate on that, but right now....

I plan on making weekly posts of my new designs.  I want to make some routines in my life and art has been something that has naturally been a part of me and hope my creativity brings joy to others. I have been designing and posting new products since my last post over a year ago. Here are a few.

Keeping my eye on the prize...

I am working hard on more designs, got a crop of vintage images to go through. That is when I am able. My goal is not to make a living on Zazzle but enough to make a difference when I find a job. I did not go to college and haven't worked outside the home since 2001. 10 years has just flown by. 7 of those years I was very ill and then getting a diagnosis of Celiac I am 1 million percent better but life/technology/employment has changed dramatically. Of course me being a super shy person makes it a challenge to find the right job and being a mother has me conflicted also.

Here is a cool butterfly design. I have a bunch to digitize. I love butterflies!

Nose to the keyboard....

Been working on digitizing more designs, as well as some other internet ventures. I need to get a car....soon! Maybe I should "Sail a Way, Sail a Way, Sail a Way..."

Wow, what a turn of events!

So I am looking for a job. Hoping my internet ventures take off enough that I can work part time. I don't know what the future holds for me. I wanted to be a stay at home mom but with a sudden separation from my husband, stability and financial independence is now my top priority.

Any way, on a good note, I won another award!! This is a cute vintage woodcut I worked on to get just right. So happy and it gives me confidence in my work.

Life sure changes fast.

Just when you think you have your life planned out, BAM, life does a complete 180 and you're left stunned and scrambling to pick up the pieces. I hope my internet adventures work out, just to ease the burden of being on my own. I do love working with vintage images and tweaking them into something special. I also joined Amazon Turk and do small internet based tasks for a few dollars here and there.

I'll stop "Horsing" Around and get to my latest upload....
