My Stuffed Snake



This is the stuffed snake my favorite uncle won for me at Adventure Land in Addison, IL, some 45 years ago. I still have the snake but it has seen better days. My uncle was only 21 when he passed away. This always reminds me of him.

Below is a picture of the snake today.  He is missing his tongue, but I thought my sketchbook should have one!  I could never part with it.

This is the actual stuffed snake.

If you look close you'll see me in my class at CREATE! 2010.  This was such a great time.  I can't wait until CREATE! 2011.

AAA Rescue

Here's my journal page titled AAA Rescue.  After a fabulous day creating my first journal page at CREATE 2010, I went to start my car and my battery was dead!  I had left the lights on for 10 hours.  I ended up calling AAA to give me a jump.  Brad came to the rescue and got the car going.

I painted the background with opaque watercolor and glued on a picture of the car and used the tracing paper technique for the tow truck.  Then using more watercolor, grounded the car and tow truck.  I also did some stamping.  That little thing to the left of the car is my rendering of a car battery.  LOL!
