Scarey Goth Girl

On my recent trip to Oklahoma to visit my sister, her husband and my niece for the occasion of my nieces 9th birthday, we got a chance to plan for Halloween. My niece wanted to be a goth girl.

Oh my! I suggested maybe a fairy princess, ballerina, poohs honey pot, etc. But, she had her mind set on this way to grown up theme. She will always be my baby and therefore, never grow up. I have my mind stuck on this! Even though she is as tall as me and wears larger shoes! UGH!

We had such a wonderful time shopping for clothes, make-up and accessories! My sister, who USE to be a bit wild herself, REALLY, wanted the stuff her self! (I can hear her screaming now, but, it's true! :) ). Anyway, I wanted to share a few pictures of our fun day.

When we got home, we did a practice run. I did her make up and we then surprised her mom and dad with the "Scarey Goth Girl"

Have Fun looking at these fun pics!

The rules were that we could create anything we wanted as long as we incorporated this beautiful image called "Beauty's Lot" published in London sometime between 1760 and 1810. The inscription at the bottom is in French. The image "Beauty's Lot" shown above was to be incorporated in to an "original" piece of art work done by the artist and owned by the artist. We could incorporate it any way that we wanted whether we transfered, scraped, painted or whatever into our oun piece of work. The art can be any size and medium.I did an acrylic painting. I wish that we were able to click on each entry to enlarge them and see what medium they picked to do theirs in. But I am putting mine on here!

Thanks for your vote!

A face only a mother could love!

A face only a mother could love! When I was recently at my friends mom's house, they had a surprise. After laying 10 eggs, that never grew, her cockatiels had two new babies! They were so interesting to look at. Thought I would share this unusual sight! It was interesting to see that both the mom and dad took care of them. Very cool stuff!
