I haven't actually sat down and done a piece of artwork in a while. I seem to be going and doing so much lately. In fact, there could be big changes in my life. We will just have to wait and see. In the meanwhile, enjoy my steampunk creation!<br />

Recently I took a challenge at Deviant Scrap that was sponsored by Marta Van Eck. The challenge was to create a book cover using Marta's kits and the theme was "Fairy Tale." If you were in the top three, your book cover would be published in the September issue of DeviantMuse. Now, this being my first challenge and having to compete with all the very talented artists at Deviant Scrap, I really didn't believe I had a chance to be published. But I took the challenge anyway. Just one more step in helping me to be more creative. Being a HUGE "Jane Eyre" fan, I just had to do a take on my favorite book! Well, below are the results! Was I ever surprised to learn my book cover was one of the top three!! <br />

Recently she opened an etsy shop and when she had this image for sale on one of her collage pages, I just had to have it! I also purchased some of her French letter digital images while I was there. I would recommend you stop by to see what all she has to offer!<br />

It reminds me so much of paper dolls. I loved paper dolls when I was little, as you had so many different clothes to choose from. Quite awhile back I had purchased some digital pieces from Cemerony and they just seemed to work great with my digital pieces from Tumblefish Studio. Below are the results!<br />

I learned the trouble with my elbow and hand going numb was from tennis elbow. Of course, work only made it worse. So, I quit doing my digital art for a while to help the healing process. Then I was just tired by the end of the day and didn't really want to think about creating. I loved Marsha's TwoDresses and had missed getting them. Marsha was so kind a generous to allow me to get them and that started my creative juices flowing again! Then I went out to Deviant Scrap and purchased some more kits with items I didn't have previously. And Viola! My mojo was back!! I truly have enjoyed creating these art pieces the last few days and I realized what I was missing. My blogging friends and the creative support I needed. And guess what! I think I may have found some color along the way! I hope you enjoy these new pieces and thanks Marsha for the inspiration!!<br />

For some reason, every time I try to, it wants me to sign in over and over, but never will post my comments. After reading Marsha's comments the other day, I'm not going to give a personal update, but for the 30% who would want to know, I've been gone taking care of some personal things.<br />
I haven't felt much like making any art, but here is a piece I put together tonight, all from TumbleFish Studio elements. I hope you enjoy!<br />

With the weather and being "under the weather," I've only felt like going to work and coming home. I took a bad case of sinusitus and still am not feeling my best. I do have all the giveaways ready to be mailed and as soon as I can get to the post office, they will be on the way. So sorry it has taken this long!<br />
I did create a couple of new pieces of digital art. One is using the cabinet cards from Marsha at Tumble Fish Studios. On both these pieces I've used Paint the Moon photoshop actions. I love them!!<br />

Our challenge was to create a Jane Austen calling card. I personally love Jane Austen. The books, movies, I'm just in love with them all! Can you tell which is my favorite?<br />

To celebrate this great event, I'm going to be having a blog giveaway. I'll be posting more about this coming soon, but there will be wonderful giveaways from some great artist that I love to follow.<br />
Speaking of a great artist.....when I first started thinking of this blog giveaway, I knew there were certain people I wanted to have be a part of this event. Verna from <a href="http://birdbeeandbloom.blogspot.com/">Bird, Bee and Bloom</a> was one of them. I don't know if you noticed that during her blog giveaway, she kept posting these wonderful little angels on the side of her blog. I asked Verna about creating one special for the blog giveaway, and she has. But, to my delite and great surprise, when I received the package last week, she had made a special angel just for me. And today, I'm posting this beautiful little angel! Isn't she just special? I am in love with her!!<br />

I need a new printer!!...and info about me!My work holds a craft fair each year. I was hoping to be a part this year, but due to my right arm, it didn't come about. But, I did try to print some of my images, re-saving them as 300 dpi. What I found out, is the little scanner printer that I have, although it works great for printing off information, is not making the cut for my artwork. So, does anyone have a suggestion on a really good printer? I'm going to need to replace this one if I'm looking to open my etsy shop soon. So, thank you for your suggestions!!<br />
I don't normally share information about myself, actually starting the blog as a way of inspiration and to get my digital artwork off the ground. But, I thought I might share a few tidbits today. I work full time and try to do my artwork in the evenings and on weekends. I don't have a lot of spare time, so that is why I chose to explore the digital end of creativity. My grandfather liked to draw pictures, so that is where I received my love of art. In fact, I wanted to be an artist when I grew up, but soon realized, in a high school creative art class, that you would be told what you had to draw and frankly, razors etc, were pretty boring to me. Who knew where art would be heading then! So, I did the reasonable thing, and studied accounting courses and took a job in the office of a retail store. I did that for a few years, until it was suggested I work at an Oil and Gas company. Now you have to understand, only men worked for these companies, sometimes even in the offices, but women were making their way, so I applied for the job, never thinking it would happen. Low and behold, I soon was the receptionist, and after two years I had moved on to be the only Geological Technician for the company. And, I'm the fourth generation to work in the business! My great-grandfather, grandfather and uncle all worked in some capacity in the oilfields. So, that is the reason I love to use fossils and rigs in my art work and the reason for the name "Art Legacy," as I have a legacy in art, coming from my grandfather and a legacy in my job.<br />
I have two boys! The oldest, Samson, is 5 years old and weighs usually between 5-6 lbs. The youngest, Gideon, is 4 years old and weighs around 7 lbs. They are the love of my life and extremely spoiled. I have to say, I truly love my furry babies.<br />
So, I hope I haven't shared more than anyone would like to know. I'm off to the doctor on Thursday, so I'm hoping to have a remedy for my arm soon. Here is more of my iPhone artwork and pictures of my boys!<br />

It's been a while since I've posted to my blog. Not that I haven't had some things to post. First, thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers concerning my nephew and my mother. My nephew is now walking with a cane. He doesn't have full feeling back to the left side of his body, but he is on his way, we believe, to a full recovery. My mother is doing great! She has lost over 40 lbs since the heart attack and has received great reports from all her doctor visits.<br />
On the other hand, I've been having some trouble, and the reason I haven't posted in a while. I use the computer every day for my regular job. I've recenly been having some trouble with my right hand getting numb and hurting from the wrist to the elbow. I've also come across about a lima bean sized knot on the bone for this arm. I have a doctor's appointment on December 2nd, and I'm hoping we can find the answer to this problem. Unfortunately, it's made me stop being on my computer and stopped me from creating artwork on my iPhone. To do either of these things just irrates the arm and I find myself in terrible pain. Yesterday, just to dust put me in great pain and I almost couldn't get my arm to my mouth to brush my teeth. Needless to say, I was in tears.<br />
But, I'm glad to say, I had some artwork already created I could share with you. Again, I created it on my iPhone. The little angel came from Art-e-ology. I hope you enjoy!<br />

Two weeks ago last Sunday, my nephew was shot during an attempted car jacking. He had to have steel rods put in his spinal column between the C2 and C4 areas, as the bullet had injured his spine. He had no feeling in his right side and could not move his left leg. But, Praise the Lord he has come a long way in just two weeks! He is now getting his feeling back and he is beginning to be able to move the left leg. He is coming home tomorrow morning. He still has a long way to go, but he is determined to make it. The Lord is good!<br />
So, needless to say, I haven't had much time to work on my digital art. However, I did read an article in the latest Somerset Digital magazine about creating artwork with your iPhone. So, I downloaded the necessary apps and created a couple of pieces. I've attached them here. Hope you enjoy!<br />

The first, I did for my mother who just recently had her 65th birthday. She wanted me to stop at this point and I did just for her. Afterwards, of course, I had to go back and add my fossils. I hope you enjoy them both! <br />
The beautiful sisters came from MirrorImages on Flickr. I can't thank him enough for letting me use the girls! To me they just spoke "French!" I used textures from Playing with Brushes - Flickr and Anji from Distractions Flickr. And of course, thanks to Jamie for the Ammonites! I have used them over and over!! And I've used some flower and french writing brushes.<br />

They are Anji, Shadowhouse Creations and Playing With Brushes. Plus some images from Graphic Fairy and several photoshop brushes. I hope you enjoy!<br />
