Seasons don't fear the Reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain.
We can be like they are.

Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on.
The curtains flew and then he appeared.

Saying, "Don't be afraid."
And she had no fear.
And she ran to him.
"Baby, take my hand.
We'll be able to fly."
Then they started to fly.
She had taken his hand.
Don't fear the Reaper.

This week I have the honor of guest hosting Sunday Postcard Art, and I chose the challenge theme "Dictionary."

Apologies about the sample piece not making it onto the challenge site on time (the email with it got lost or the email didn't go through without giving me an error message, which sometimes happens).

Skeletons Danse Macabre - Shirt - Transfer Failure - Photograph

© All Rights Reserved

(Click on image to enlarge)

I took that photograph of the transfer failure result when I used an inkjet fabric transfers paper to iron my "Skeletons Danse Macabre" shirt design onto a 100% cotton black shirt. I know I have used that transfer paper successfully in the past, but I didn't recall how I did it, and the instructions were unclear about how long to iron for / when to remove the paper backing. So as I pulled up the paper backing, part of the ink remained adhered to the paper, which tore off of the shirt. Thus ends my attempts to make my own shirt designs. The juice ain't worth the squeeze, especially with the cost of everything skyrocketing due to inflation.

"Skeletons Danse Macabre ("wdl")" - Shirt 8" x 8"

This week's Our Midweek Muse theme was "Dancers".

A close friend of mine had sent me a photo of a Halloween shirt with witches dancing on it, which inspired me to make my own shirt design, an 8" by 8" image that I will print onto 8.5 x 11 inches inkjet fabric transfers paper, to iron onto a black shirt. (My dancing witches design is still in progress, because as usually happens with me, one thing led to another, and I saw a movie that showed two Medieval images that I wanted to use: one for the witches, and this one with the skeletons.)

To print it onto a fabric iron on transfer, it needs to be mirror image flipped:

"Celestial Bubbles" - Postcard

This week's Sunday Postcard Art theme was "Bubbles".

I had to enforce my "pencils down!" rule for this one. I found a celestial bubbles inspiration piece on the Internet, that I tried to base my design on, but in the end, this looks nothing like the one I found. And my bubbles look more like circles, even though they are bubbles.

Note: I am still resolving computer issues, so I apologize for my lack of comments, etc.
