Visiting Friendship's Garden

Hi there!
How's everyone doing? I'm starting off the New Year in THE greatest way!  While I continue to build and develop Happy Bunny's world, I'm exploring other cool genres and meeting great people along the way.  One of them is Sharon.  We are both members of the DT over at Wicked Wednesdays.
She is also a new DT member over at Friendship's Garden.  Congrats Sharon!  She made her debut with an awesome ATC trio.
They are so pretty, I decided to join in on the fun.  Here's by pair of Garden BFFs!

Children of the night...

Why hello there...
We are taking a stroll over to the Dark Side today.  Welcome to Macabre Monday where all things creepy and ghoulish take center stage in the moonlight. This week's theme is: GOTHIC.
I decided to experiment with art journaling.  Here's my take on Mary had a little lamb:

I absolutely adore the Japanese Gothic Lolita subculture.  I adore all things cute and sweet.  Where do you suppose Mary is going on such a beautiful night?  Here's what the opposite page looks like:

Sweet and fashion forward with a "Children of the Corn" stare.

Sweet nightmares!

Metamorphosis

Who is she?

I spent the last day of 2011 sleeping in, enjoying good coffee, reading a good book and drawing.  What a peaceful day.  I escaped to my fairy tale world and finished this piece that I call Metamorphosis.

Pencil and ink

It was a rough year.  But it wasn't all bad.  Here's to looking forward to a happier year.

Peace and love,

Favorite color palette!

Hi there,
Another week has flown by. I would say TGIF, except it's after midnight so it's really Saturday morning.  No worries, I'm heading off to bed once I finish this post.
Another Friday, means another Dilly Beans challenge!  This week's theme is Shades of Red and Black.  This happens to be one of my favorite color combinations, next to black and white.
Happy Bunny went to San Diego for the week to visit family, so I'm on my own on this one ;)

I chose the butterfly for this card because of it's life cycle.  I mean, how awesome is it to morph into something so beautiful?  So, for the new year I'm looking to love myself more and change for the better so I can love others and help them.

OK, off to bed I go.  Good night...er morning.

Peace and love,

Mary xoxo

P.S. Happy Bunny will be back next week :)

Going rogue...

The coolest thing about sharing your art is that you get to learn from others.  I've recently discovered Rogue challenges by Rogue Redhead Designs.  I came about this place by exploring the blog of one of our Wicked Wednesday participants, Beverly.
The current challenge calls for a grid design.  I created this chunky page (4x4 mini pieces of art) to participate in the fun:

Ingredients:
Bazzil cardstock
Ribbon and embellishments from my stash
stamped sentiment
scalloped corners punch by ek success

I am going to also submit this for the anything goes challenge over at Fat Pages with Attitude
Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

Peace and love,
Mary xoxo
P.S. Thanks for the inspiration Bev!
