Year(book) of the (Sock) Monkey

Get ready folks...next year...2016...will be The Year of the Monkey!

Astrological Shoes

I know I said I would make a proper themed collage but I'd already started this one so decided to finish it with some astrological signs and mysterious astro alphabet!

Miss "Piscy".... Goddess of the UnderWorld.

Shoe Salesmen

The Archer(s)

Sagittarius

The 9th sign of the Zodiac, a fire sign ruled by Jupiter, tending to be good-natured, honest, intelligent and adventurous (the good stuff), and also blunt, arrogant, and capable of high levels of anger when they feel lied to or deceived (the bad stuff)...so don't cross me, people!

Guess what's for dinner?

Fish and Egg Seller

The year of the tiger

One of my latest:

At Home With Pisces and Aquarius

I have been wanting to use that lamp in a collage for a long time.  The Aquarian is from an address book that featured famous paintings of women and that is Girl with Shell by William Stephen Coleman.  I believe it hangs in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.  I added the pillow and basket box and the fishy swimming in front of the lampshade is appropriately named a "Scissortail".  Background with goldfish is plate from a vintage book.  Also, I changed the title of my collage as my husband is a Pisces and I am an Aquarian.

THEME: What sign are you?

Astrological that is!  Make a collage based on your sign.  OH...I should mention you can either use the Signs of the Zodiac or Chinese Astrology.

Hmmmmm...I see some water in my future creation!  ; )

Have FUN.

One from the archives to start the theme of the week:  OCCUPATION.

THEME: Occupation

Butcher, baker, candlestick-maker...what is the line of work you are choosing to represent?  Have F U N!

Chamois Montenvers

Oh to Live on Ice Cream Mountain!

Borrowed a line from Neil Young's song "Sugar Mountain" with a bit of a change.  Initially was going to call it "Ain't No Ice Cream Mountain High Enough" (a play on the Diana Ross song) because I just returned from a visit to The Motown Museum in Detroit, Michigan.  Oh my goodness...what a thrill it was to be in STUDIO A -- where ALL the MAGIC was CREATED and actually get a chance to sing with our tour group in the studio (The Temptations song "My Girl").  Our guide told us in 2011 when Sir Paul McCartney visited and sat down to play the vintage Steinway grand in Studio A and it was so out of tune he had it shipped to New York where it was reconditioned and tuned and returned to the museum!  What a guy!!
