      Just finished a Tinker bell Box for a friends birthday present.  I was too cheap to go buy her something.  I give it to her this weekend so I hope she likes it.  The box is 6" x 6" square and the lid has over 50 little pieces all cut, sanded, colored, and reassembled.

      Hi John,
      You want to be very careful when gluing paper to canvas. If you don't use acid-free glue, the glue will damage the poster, over time. Here's what I would do.

      First, cut the canvas to a size three inches bigger than your poster on all four sides. Now, glue the canvas to a very sturdy poster board,centered carefully, on the BACK of the canvas. Use acid-free glue.

      The most important accessory in canvas printing is a stretcher. It is a wooden frame which helps to stretch the

      Here's a couple more mini's I uploaded.  In these too I focused on detail; and used mostly sharpened pencil and a size 1 liner brush to dot colors on.

      Please note the first one is about 3.5" x 3.0" cut from a scrap of left-over heavy weight 185 lb ... It's a tad over the standard ACEO size, but close enough :)

      I have some too that are more sketchy, which I will upload at some point...

      Part IX

      Laurie Pierce, a year later, after the death of her best friend Teresa Townsend Abigal, was still devastated.  Laurie had relocated to New York City after meeting Lou Marcino at a club while visiting the city on vacation after college.  Laurie moved in with Lou for three months, inSheepsheadBay,Brooklyn, into his studio apartment.  But then Lou cut out, dumping her for an uptown blonde he met and moved in with.  It was an advantageous decision for both parties, because the uptown blonde, Lillie Heath, was an actress living on the Upper Westside ofManhattan.  Lillie got Lou stand in roles and small parts on cable TV.   Laurie meanwhile got the chance to relocate to an apartment in Gravesend,Brooklyn.  The new apartment, a bigger place with two bedrooms, gave Laurie the idea to contact Teresa; she moving in and being the one who suffered the most from the chain of events; events that led to her suicide.

      Laurie, after relocating toNew York Citygot a job in the accounting department of a hotel in midtownManhattan.  Laurie and Teresa although intelligent and diligent workers during the day, were wild and footloose come Friday and Saturday nights.  It was an act of nature for these two women, both just out of college, young and attractive, with adventurous spirits, to exploreNew York City.  Laurie, in truth, was the more promiscuous of the two, with handsome suitors arriving and departing regularly, but she wasn’t lacking in self esteem, and had a greater sense of self, than Teresa.  But now with Teresa dead, Laurie was deeply wounded, as if a part of her had died; she and Teresa had attended middle school, high school and college together.  They’d been true friends, with no thought of stealing one or the others boyfriends or secretly planting malicious gossip against each other.

      So now this Friday night, Laurie had glued together two long and sharp, non-metallic finger nail files and put clear tape on the ends.  She was going to the Cozy Corner to jab those two nail files into Miguel’s throat, and listen for the non-melodic note or notes that followed.  But unfortunately for Laurie, this Friday night wasn’t a good one, because Frank Abigal was going to beat the singer to death.  But that would only be if he got to him before Oscar Reno drugged the Love Man’s drink.  All were ready, motivated, and without second thoughts, and traveling from three different directions toward Miguel, a man of seeming endless love and lyrics.

      Wonderful body of florals, Anna.  I've seen matboard with multiple ACEO cut-outs; I think these would be lovely framed that way.... I'm pleased you found yourself inspired.  Do you find any particular challenges or plusses to working within the smaller format?

  • Was Ist Los? Was Ist Los?

    • From: bothellite
    • Description:

      Hans's lederhosen second, Klaus in the background looking to
      his right, kept a watchful eye for the chance to escape
      because Hans's lederhosen were so ripe that the entire
      company of arms inspectors was considering doing him in to
      get rid of the daily offense. Hans refused to change his
      lederhosen or to let them soak overnight. He considered them
      good luck and in post Second World War Europe arms
      inspectors needed a lot of luck. They were sadly un-armed.

      Greta, with pursed lips, was the master mind contriving the
      demise of Hans. She pretended to be attracted to him but in
      fact cajoled her Romanian boy friend Raul, directly in back
      of her, to murder Hans at the first good opportunity. The
      plan was to cut his throat and throw him to the first
      available hogs, nail his lederhosen to a tree and let the
      flies raise maggots in them, a lesson for us all. Raul was
      known for his knifes-man-ship and sweet gypsy guitar riffs.
      He really knew how to play Greta's sweet spot.

      Klaus repeatedly warned Hans of impending doom. "Take off
      those damned stinky pants you son of a bitch and just go
      naked. At least you'll be alive. There's no good reason why
      an arms inspector has to smell like that." "My own mother
      made these for me before she died. I'll shit sauerkraut mit
      schenken duden before I'll take them off. I give tribute to
      my sweet mother til the day I die!"

      "You sure will when you go to the hogs you dumb ass! Was ist
      los?"

      John Malkovich's grand father, on the left with the camera,
      paid no attention to either Hans or his pants. He just
      considered the lot of the inspection crew a bunch of idiots
      and he waited out the inevitable touche with an arch enemy
      Gruse' Schnitzup, on the right with proud pocket watch and
      cheap cigar in grip. Gruse wasn't an inspector at all but
      merely a political bureaucrat with eyes on Greta whom he
      believed to be loose. She hated him and planned to feed him
      to the hogs for dessert after she lured him into the bushes
      at the second available hogs. He would indeed be unlucky.
      She and Raul would dress up a boar in his vacated clothes. A
      lesson for us all.

      The hero in all this was Pedro Hindendee, half face,
      background on right. He acted as a secret agent working for
      the left. He rightfully gained his position on the left
      during the war as a policy maker for the resistance in Ohms.
      He spoke seven languages somewhat; fluently he made himself
      bearable but hard to understand. His job currently was to
      tail the man in glasses clutching his stomach due to the
      stench present. That man was related no one and they never
      figured out where he came from.

      When this photo was taken my father was traveling for the
      U.S. government with camera in hand taking notes and
      commenting on the strange people that he met. He took this
      photo during a farm tour which ended in three murders
      Bavaria, lederhosen jerky served sauerkraut duden and all
      the bier you could drink.

      Part VII

           Frank Abigal, a construction worker not presently assigned to any sites, keeps a close watch on Miguel Aviles.  Miguel was responsible for Frank’s wife, Teresa Townsend Abigal, committing suicide a year ago.  She overdosed on barbiturates.  Teresa, from Athens,Ohio, had after college graduation relocated toNew York, where she moved in with her college friend Laura Pierce in Gravesend,Brooklyn, on Avenue “U.”  Teresa got a job as a teacher and later met her future husband, Frank Abigal, at a club inManhattan.  Teresa and Frank’s marriage was an intelligent and respectful one.  Frank was in his senior year of college atRutgers when he ripped up his anterior cruciate ligament and was off the football team.  He rehabbed for a year, got his degree and worked as a teacher in theBronx, but after several years of depressive states over lack of job fulfillment, started working construction with a friend, Albert Maxwell.  The work rejuvenated Frank, and in his upbeat mode he and Albert would go clubbing on Friday night, which is where he met Teresa.  Marriage didn’t end the couples Friday night club dates however: the dancing, late night hours, and construction work, did put a severe strain on Frank’s surgically repaired knee, causing him to cut back to about once a month, sometimes two months.  But Teresa continued to go as if compelled; now she would drag a friend Laura along with her.  Frank offered no protest and was without resentment, for him it was an opportunity to rest and recuperate from a week’s work.  Frank unfortunately didn’t know that Teresa was moving toward her doom, and it would arrive in the person of Miguel Aviles.  Teresa, seeing Miguel perform at the Cozy Corner with Laura Price, was so overwhelmed that she passed out, only Laura’s presence prevented her from injuring herself.  But the greater hurt had already begun, and would be finalized when, distraught by Miguel’s continued absence from her newly acquired apartment, she having separated from Frank, Teresa committed suicide.  The cold blooded Miguel later found nothing depressive or ironic, when he moved into the same apartment building that Teresa had killed herself in.  But anyone meeting Miguel and expecting him to be with compassion and regret would quickly be evaluated as delusional.  Frank Abigal however, after a year in a mental institute, after his wife’s death, had every intention of having Miguel stay after class and write continuously on the black board until he felt it, Regret.  Regret.  Regret.

      I wanted to launch a feeler to see how many of you would be interested in participating in a collective activity.  Something along the lines of a project.  Not so much a contest; just a group activity.  To be clear on the parameters, participants would work on their version and post results in a thread, but there would be no judges or winners.  The proposed timeframe is roughly monthly to accommodate those of us who juggle busy schedules *wink* … My first idea
