"WOYWW #94 - LuLu's Seven MiNi-ToDo's!"

by Mary Lou 'LuLu' Haynes

Howdy and Welcome,

This week, for WOYWW, I have a slew of mini-projects to do, usually while inhaling a DVD movie.

'7 MiNi ToDos - Mar 23, 2011'

A bit, a tad, a smidgeon, and a boat load!

I know! My worktable looks like a jumbled mess, but there are really 7 mini-projects to do in this pile. Just need to do a bit of organizing, a tad of page laminating, a smidgen of stamping and a boat load of braiding.

Let's hope I get these done before the end of March, because I'm notorious for having multiple projects and several journals going at once. Always biting off more than I can chew...but what artist doesn't. he, he.

Blog hop here for more WOYWW players. Also, sh-h-h-h. But stay tuned for another giveaway for you wonderful Followers coming very, v-e-r-y soon!

Thanks for stopping - and I'd love, love, love to see your comments about this post.

Peace,

LuLu

Here is my 'Madonna and Child with Three Hands' for the Mother and Mother and Child SPOT Challenge this week!

There's a lot of texture in this digital picture. I reworked a previously posted Adobe PSE scan of this icon from an antique icon book. Layered it with an antique map, antique German hymnal pages and transparency effects using MS DIE.

Although hubby and I chose not to have kids, I do enjoy all the different artworks of the Madonna and Child. The paintings and sculptures by the old masters are SO inspiring!

What do you think of my entry? Your comments are welcome.
