A Swallow Lives in my Pocket Watch...

A swallow lives in my pocket watch

Nestled behind the face of time gone by...

It moves the hands

Restlessly

Sifting the seconds

Carelessly

Making its nest of Moments...

...And Occasions

...And Memories

Dear France...

...Your Navy has impeccable timing.

Happy 4th, fellow Yanks!

Friday Morning Failure...Hello there July

Trying some new stuff, failing at most of it.
Where's a girl to find a stencil/graffiti mentor here in the wilds of Suburbia?!
Got the ideas, the execution is what's lacking.
*sigh* Ah, well. Next time...

A Year Older...

...and God willing, a year wiser. <3

More of an "Altered Art" kinda gal...

I love old stuff.
If you've spent more than five minutes reading my posts, you might have picked up on that.
But something else I love (and my mother makes fun of me for) is taking old stuff and rejuvenating it in a sense.
Making it new, improving it.

However I'm not the type that buys 50+ year old stuff, chops it up, glues it back together, then points dramatically and declares it to be "progressive".
Mine is more of a subtle approach.
Case in point:
The sixth most awesome thing I've ever made in my life. Behold...

Before...

After!

I'm kind of in love with the thing actually.
Oh the joy and ease and satisfaction of altered art...<3
