Found Art: New topic and totally rad!!

Year after year of doing art, I wanted to kick down a new habit and a new passion. Let’s just say I went a bit nutty by hammering into a television and yanking the head off this poor doll.

What’s Up World

There are alignments and there is a bigger whelming (the calm version of overwhelming) flood. It is like I tripped on my own feet and landed face first into a new body.

Yikes!! Can you say 5′ across and 3′ down? It seemed like a monster until I did the whole research hunger munch on the internet. I get way prepared before I tackle projects like this one.

Happy Dance All Over the Living Room

Been doing some big steps to change my life completely… I am physically “dancing” with exercise videos on Hulu plus. There must be over 30 different routines to choose from.
