Toni Hanner -- tonipoet's Comments

thank you for the comment Tony, sorry for this late reply i'm having difficulties logging in iuoma lately..it takes ages and then nothing happens.i'm glad you enjoyed the happy cows...:-)

Glad that you like it, was fun to do and thought you would enjoy...best

glad it all arrived toni and you dug it. i think those dots were given to me from res. i've been putting them to good use. :)

Toni, thanks for the lovely envelope and card.  I haven't been getting much mail lately, so yours was much appreciated.  See you in the mail.

Those all came from drawings I made. Originally the pink sluggo was staring into one of the little houses, kind of like an unwanted guest, somewhat ominous. The eyeball plants suggest a growing awareness. The guy busting up the pyramids by knocking off the tops (great all seeing eye, hierarchies) suggests populist revolt against the plutocracy and the establishment. Something along those lines.

Heh heh.

No problem at all, glad you like her :-) - Jade x

Sadly it isn't really very complicated, and there are no hidden secrets to protect.  It is a duo-monoprint (two monoprints one on the top of the other) using a Gelli plate.  The pattern is the pattern found on those plastic outdoor picnic holders for paper plates.  I simply pressed that into the ink spread on the Gelli plate thus removing that image from my ink which then creates the space for the bottom layer of paint to show through.  The woven texture of the card is from a purchased embossing folder which I then used on my emboss machine.  I am glad it's simplicity did not prevent it from being enjoyable.  

Hi Toni this is a very rare e mail.Sorry for not replying until now i hate computers  .I will send some art mail soon i tend to fall off the radar because of my job hope you are in this moment .Lester .

Thanks - on both accounts!

you're welcome toni! glad the add and pass made it back to you  and you're welcome for all the other stuff i sent along. it was probably stuff that was just sitting on my coffee table. :)

Oh WOW! I love the ATC gifts <3 <3 Thank you for your sweetness to me. The cards are gorgeous and I LOVE the stamps! Sending you a big {{{HUG}}}

Glad you liked the card, envelope and stamp. I rarely make this type of collage - I like how this group turned out. I don't know who the woman is, the picture is titled 'My Corsage' (1931), but about 15 minutes on google didn't help me track her name down.

Toni, thanks for your enthusiasm.  I have been feeling more creative as of late.  See you in the mail.
