DREAMERS CHALLENGE APRIL 19th "STOCKINGS"

Update on my Hubby:
He is improving each day. Most tubes are removed except for the main line in his artery and his antibiotic IV . He is sitting up in a chair several times a day and doing well with physical therapy. It is going to take some time to get back to where he was. He is still very confused but that will improve also. Thanks to all of you for your concern and prayers. This means a lot to me. I came home to Coos Bay to recoup and do laundry and take care of business since his daughter is with him for a few days.

UPDATE ON MY HUBBY

Tube is out
B/P is stable
He is awake and coherent !
He wants to get up
thanks for all your prayers!
This was a miracle. He was so close to death .

URGENT CHANGE OF PLANS

I need to postpone this weeks challenge
My husband was taken to a hospital in Portland Oregon five hours away from home on Tuesday.

He has been suffering from a sever case of shingles which has turned into encephalitis, which is infectious fluid around the brain. He is in critical condition with a ventilator breathing for him.
He showed some improvement today but is still sedated.
Say a prayer for us please. This is a horrible thing to watch.

Hopefully things will turn around soon. but for now we are waiting for tests to come back which may be several days.
I'm so sorry but I promise to post this challenge real soon

DREAMERS CHALLENGE APRIL 5TH "BUTTERFLIES AND FAIRIES"

This weeks theme is 

"Butterflies and Fairies"

Butterflies have always intrigued me. There come in so many different colors and shapes.

Remembering as a child the first time a butterfly landed on me. So soft and delicate, it is the only insect I consider beautiful.

Fairies come in all shapes and sizes too and they are all in your imagination but what fun they are!

Put the two together and you have a wonderful whymiscal vision.

This is what my imagination came up with. Hope it inspires you.

DREAMERS CHALLENGE MARCH 29TH "BUNNIES"

In recognition of Easter, this week's Theme is 

"BUNNIES"

Bunnies are cute and fluffy with their twitching noses and long ears.

Some people have them as pets but they can be a nuisance if they get in your garden!

Remember Brier Rabbit? He was a naughty bunny.

Nonetheless, they have made a name for themselves at Easter Time.

The Easter Bunny (also called the Easter Rabbit or Easter Hare) is a folkloric figure and symbol of Easter depicted as a rabbit bringing Easter Eggs. Originating among German  Lutherns, the "Easter Hare" originally played the role of a judge, evaluating whether children were good or disobedient in behavior at the start of the season of Eastertide. The Easter Bunny is sometimes depicted with clothes. In legend, the creature carries colored eggs in his basket, candy, and sometimes also toys to the homes of children, and as such shows similarities to Santa Claus or the Christkind, as they both bring gifts to children on the night before their respective holidays. The custom was first mentioned in Georg Franck von Franckenau's De ovis paschalibus (About Easter Eggs) in 1682 referring to a German tradition of an Easter Hare bringing Easter eggs for the children.

I have created this for your inspiration.

DEAMERS CHALLENGE MARCH 15 "PUPPY"

This Week's Theme is 

"Puppy"

One of the sweetest things in this world is a puppy.

They are so innocent just like a baby. Soft and cuddly and dependent on you for their care.

So many puppies get abandoned or abused and it breaks my heart especially when they bring so much happiness if you let them. They become part of the family and grow deep in your heart. They are loyal pets and such great companions to many. 

In my case, I have raised two puppies that were abandoned. We found them under a trailer near our barn just before we moved from California to Oregon. All of our children live in California and the move left a big empty space without them. Two little puppies, Sammy and Petey came with us to Oregon 9 years ago and they have filled that empty space and brought us comfort. Not all people like dogs or puppies but I don't think many can deny that they are cute.

I have created this for your inspiration. I am looking forward to your artwork.

This theme can bring to mind many things gone by.

So many things come to mind for me from my younger days.

My Mother gave it to me on Christmas Eve and I fell asleep listening to it. I woke up with a dead battery! Lesson learned.

DIGITAL DREAMERS JAN 11th CHALLENGE, "SEA LIFE"

This weeks challenge is 

"Sea Life"

There are so many beautiful creatures under the sea and they are all amazing.

A few weeks ago I watched a documentary on the Discovery challenge about some scientists that had been following a story about a creature that had washed up on shore along with some whales and other sea life with no explanation of why.

 One of the creatures they studied is thought to be a "Mermaid". 

Though the mermaid didn't look like the mermaids we have come to visualize, it inspired this challenge.

 The Navy covered this story up and destroyed all the evidence the scientists had gathered accept for the recordings of the sounds they heard and one quick glimpse of the creature.

So that in mind, I had to add a Mermaid to my Sea Life artwork.

Hope this inspires you too.

DREAMERS CHALLENGE JAN 4th "AMERICAN INDIAN"

This weeks challenge is

"American Indian"

I have always been fascinated with the American Indian.

The head dress and painted faces and their native clothing and moccasins.
The way they made their bows and arrows and painted their ponies for war.

The dance and chanting they do and how they get their names.

Their last name comes from what the Mother saw or heard just as the baby was born.

Such as, A Sitting Bull. 

To inspire you here is what I did for this challenge.

DREAMERS CHALLENGE NOVEMBER 23, COWBOY BOOTS

This weeks challenge is "Cowboy Boots"

A bit unusual for a challenge? Yes, but when I saw this copyright free image from Ryan Mcquire, I just had to use it and since it is copyright free you can use it too.

Cowboy Boots come in all different styles and colors. Here are some things to spark your imagination.

They can be fancy for the parade, rugged for the rodeo with spurs or the ranch hand who is wrestling cattle. Girls wear them as well as children. They can dress up the prettiest western outfit for a barn dance or kick the tires of that old tractor.

This is what I did with the image of cowboy boots.
I used two backgrounds from Gratisography. Two vintage images of pin up girls and of course the image of cowboy boots from Ryan McGuire. Filters and Photoshop brushes finished this piece.

Happy Creating!

DREAMERS CHALLENGE OCTOBER 25, 2014

JUST IN TIME FOR HALLOWEEN
THIS WEEKS CHALLENGE IS "WEBS"

Halloween is a holiday I have never been fond of. I hate the colors of Halloween and the witches, monsters and  blood and gore that come with it. The children have fun dressing up in there costumes and with their sacks, off they go to trick or treat. Seeing all the cute LITTLE ones is the only good thing about Halloween in my opinion.

I once went to a Halloween party and dressed up as the bride of Frankenstein. Of course my husband was Frankenstein. We actually had a wedding ceremony and that was fun.

Here is my contribution to this Halloween 2014. Hope this will inspire you to create your best Webs ever!

 

"Webs"

My biggest fear during Halloween are spiders. Did you notice that October seems to brings the spiders out? I see the webs all over my apple tree and plants on the deck. The early morning fog leaves just enough moisture to make these webs more visible. Although I appreciate the work the spider did to make such an intricate piece of artwork, I hate them !
What is your greatest fear?

The Dark Challenge for October "The Bowels of Hell"

The Bowels of Hell

This weeks "Dark Challenge" is your version of 
The Bowels of Hell.

I went a head and did my interpretation ..we all have visions of what it must be like
if there is such a place. Use whatever images and elements you have I have the
 Hotel Hell kit and used some people from my collections.
This is a fun time of year when the bizarre and ugly are beautiful in some way.
Have fun...

DREAMERS CHALLENGE OCTOBER 5, 2014

October is Halloween Month so I thought it would be fun to have some

Halloween fun.

This weeks theme is

 "Scare Me Silly" 

This piece I did back in 2012 I thought would inspire you just a bit.

Happy Creating!
