Alice Lisa

Happy November! Hope you all had a great Halloween! I think I devoured ate too much chocolate, if that's even possible.


Last month I shared one of my submissions for Somerset Studio The Art of Paper and Mixed Media here. This happens to be not only another submission, but also the third collaboration with the hubby, Marc!


Just in case you didn't know, the submission request was for an "Alice in Wonderland Theme" due out in the March/April 2010 issue. And since the much anticipated movie from Tim Burton is also coming out, they asked us to "feel free to interpret Alice through Tim Burton's eyes".


And to finish off our third collaboration idea, we were surely inspired as well by Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa aka La Gioconda, hence was created...
"Alice Lisa".

Thanks again for all your touching support & comments! We really appreciate it! And if you haven't already, the poll for our next collaboration is still on my sidebar.

Creative Blessings,
Marc & Lisa :)

Wishful Thinking

Hello everyone! It has been awhile since my last post. I hope all is well in your creative worlds. Thanks again so much for all the special comments you've given me. I really appreciate each and every encouragement and sweet support. It means so much.

I've been asked a few times from some of you creative lovelies if I've ever been published...the answer to that unfortunately is no, not yet. :) I myself rarely get the opportunity to pick up the latest art magazine. Somerset Studio is a sure favorite and always at the top of the list when it comes down to actually buying one. I enjoy all of their issues as well as their sister magazines. It's always so much fun to ooh and aah while drinking a cup of coffee...okay maybe more than one cup.

After putting it off for so long, and also for recently being asked about being published, last month I decided to pick up the Sept/Oct issue of Somerset Studio The Art of Paper and Mixed Media. There were so many great and talented artists oozing with creativity throughout. I found the submission themes they have in the magazine and gave a quick look to see what the upcoming themes they were requesting. I was so excited to see that it was an Alice in Wonderland Theme for the March/April 2010 issue. The fact that I've had Alice on the brain since the collaboration I did with the hubby, this theme just popped out. I couldn't resist.

So the above picture peek is one of the submissions I sent in to Somerset. It would be an honor to be in their magazine. I'll be crossing my creative fingers and toes. :)

Sweet Bay Area Artist Gloria of http://glorv1.blogspot.com/ recently gave me the "The Deborah Award". Gloria has a fabulous blog where she shares her world of creativity through art, life, gardening and of course her yummy photos of cooking. It's always a treat to visit her. Thanks again so much Gloria! I just love the meaning of this award.

Thanks again everyone for taking the time to visit!

Creative Blessings to you all,
Lisa :)
