Bleubeard and I welcome you
Art, including the journey, background techniques, sewing on both paper and fabric, new experiments, photos, failures, and successes will be shared on this site. I have removed my e-mail address until such time as I can get it to work again. Thank you for understanding. You can always leave a note on my blog and I will visit you.
Please check out my Previous Collaborations link above to see what projects I have been involved in over the past 12 years. Current and ongoing projects only are shown below.
Occasionally, Silent Sunday will showcase photos of my home, neighborhood, or community. A picture is often worth a thousand words.
Feel free to drop by every second Thursday of the month for my Second Thursday Tutorials. They are interspersed with my other Tutorials found at the link page above.

Click on the above image daily and help feed hungry dogs and cats. You can donate cat litter, too. You simply answer two questions (one about cats and one about dogs), and whether your answer is correct or not, you have just donated kibble to help feed both shelter animals and those in need.
I'd rather have comments, please!
Time for art in Kansas
What time do you want it to be?

I will create the art, critique things I feel are important, and put pen (and sometimes glue) to paper, or fingers to keys, while Bleubeard will mostly watch, supervise, or sleep.

24 thoughtful remarks:
Elizabeth, these are great! I especially love the stamp.
I love this post. Bleubeard has such a great face. I love how cats seem to say so much with their looks and eyes. My buddy, Jonas is sitting with me now (on my table..) and his eyes are saying not sure why we are up this early. I guess it is cold and he would rather be back in bed under the covers. I love the two creations you made with the stamp and puzzle. Very fun.
Wonderful creations. The puzzle is really unique. Bluebeard is such a gorgeous feline.
Oh goodness me my heart sank when I saw the title of your post!!! But the dear boy is alright :D Love what you have done with him XXX
What a great poser - so photogenic! I like the cancellation mark!
i'd have to agree with linda, i especially love the stamp. how have you had time to do this post with all that has been going on at your house this week? or was this your little break of sanity?
I like Karen felt slightly wobbly at first glance of your post tile unitll I realised it was just you ahving a bit of fun with some software obviously...I love the jigsaw! Sorry to hear about your water trouble (Oh err)and hope you are getting straight..i've been so busu with work haven't been in blog land much myself this year yet..take care of you..Esther xx

Excellent. Makes me want some using my kitten Alfie. What software did you use to do these?
Kat X
Bluebeard's pose is perfect for these... the "intense" look. What a guy!
Bleubeard is one handsome fellow! And I'm sure he knows it, posing like that to be on a postage stamp! Very dignified.
Really Fun...just a few words for Mr B

Bluebeard is always first class and a very handsome cat!! LOVE what you did with his portrait. - Donna
He's So. Darn. Cute.
I love him and want him, please.
You must brush the heck out of him. Or feed him lotsa fish oil, because he's a healthy handsome dude.
Xx,
Amy
Oh what a lovely postage stamp Bleubeard makes!! Such a handsome chap, glad you are managing some 'you' time among the chaos!!
Quite a handsome feline! fun post...hope you are getting back to some semblance of normal there. It's good to get a cuddle from a furry friend when life gets complicated...
Gosh he is a cat of distinction,

I have a lovely ginger tabby Max who is my constant companion and have just travelled back to NZ with me. He has been with me in my studio since he was a kitten.
So SWEET- I love it when you post pictures of Bleubeard!
So SWEET- I love it when you post pictures of Bleubeard!

I am starting to worry a bit now as you have not posted today. I'm a day late in visiting... Been dealing with some funky virus around here. Passing it around the house...
Hugs for you my lovely! and a big thank you from me too! XXX
