Alicia Starr sends haunting clean-up
Posted by Nancy Bell Scott on May 18, 2013 at 12:05am 1 Comment 5 Favorites
Huh? Who wouldn't want to be there when Alicia cleans up? My hand is staying down. This is a stunner:

This first piece from Keith arrived a week ago, and what an elegant yet whimsical beauty it is. Did he know I have a thing for dots? Probably not. But everything about it works, not just the dots--other composition aspects, great colors--and waxy textures, which I'd love to hear about if you're…

Stick a Bird On It from Angie

Angie and I both love the show Portlandia. In one fabulous episode (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XM3vWJmpfo)
they find a crafty way to craftify things. This mail art made me laugh out loud. It's an excellent piece without the birds too. Thank you!…
