The weekend found me celebrating Mother's Day with a 48 hour ART-MAKING MARATHON! I was in my element and in the zone! Nothing makes me happier than cloistering myself away with my imagination and my supplies! In that light, I was quite productive. One piece born of this marathon was intended for the Mutter Museum's Skull Appreciation Day exhibit. Many others like it are in various stages. I used a process that I call "Ghost Printing" to achieve the desired effect. Would love to hear from fellow artists as to the effectiveness of this one. All responses are greatly appreciated. With no further ado, I present Harold in all his naked glory!

Thanks for your observations, Alicia!

I was in HEAVEN this weekend! Though it doesn't happen often, I am careful to seize the opportunity when it presents itself! :D

Harold and degrees of awareness. Nice piece. dido to all comments below.

p.s. just a bit envious of that 48 hour block of time. Sounds like heaven.
