More than a year later!

Since I last posted I got engaged, started teaching a new class, bought a house, and have been making lots of art. In 2012 I went a little card crazy. It started after the Bride of Frankenstein painting with this Sew in Love card.

                              

Originally I the card was going to say "We were made for each other" but once I looked into it that seemed to be a very popular card idea. But I still wanted to do something with the Bride so I decided on "Sew in Love". 

Mother's day was quickly approaching and I thought about things I would do with my mom as a kid. The first thing that came to mind was making cookies and being allowed to eat some of the dough. 

I couldn't make a semi-sweet Mother's day card (pun intended) without doing a more ridiculous card. I also wanted to do one that was meant to be given to a mother from her son (son's seem to need all the help they can get when it comes to holidays). I thought for a while about famous mother/son duos and then I remembered Norman Bates and his "A boy's best friend is his mother" line. From that came "This Mother's Day I just want to say thanks... for letting me borrow your dress."

You have probably figured out that I really like cook dough...

Going back to the "horror" themed love cards I made this Morticia and Gomez Addams inspired cards.

After a number of family members and friends had babies this past year I made two baby cards, one Frankenstein inspired and the other Werewolf inspired (a lycanthrope is a werewolf and pronounced like-en-thrope).

"This Halloween remember... you don't like candy corn!"

This card was made more as a reminder to myself somehow I forget every year that I really hate candy corn.

This is just a little taste of what I've been working on, I'll show you more soon.
