A Spectacular Mess

"The world is dark, and light is precious. Come closer dear reader. You must trust me. I am telling you a story... from the Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo

So starts the first post of this blog. Here's the latest little art project that I've put together, inspired by Nicole Young. Mostly digital art that's been printed and pieced together. I printed out Alice on bright green paper and the bunny shadow was created in PS and printed on the bright blue paper. The background is a copy of The Jabberwocky poem printed on vintage paper. The mushrooms were cutout of an old book. Alice is courtesy of Tangie Baxter from Scrapbookgraphics. The floor is from Nicole Young over at Digital Scrapbook Place. The strange little green face belongs to Lorie Davison. I added hearts and paint here and there and finished it up with a coat of Mod Podge.

The title for this blog was from a statement my daughter made about 2 years ago. It stuck and it's true. With all of it's splendor, joy, heartache and beauty, life is a "spectacular mess."
