Anyway, I spent the rest of the afternoon working on my sketch book for the Art House Coop, and I'm not showing it yet, as I would like to keep it till it is completed.
And that's the reason why I have decided to show you part of my collection of spare body parts for Paint Party Friday, which is, as always, hosted by Eva and Kristin. They are white plastic heads, torsos and butts for displaying clothes in shop windows etc, and they have been sprayed and painted to make them a bit different. I did show some of them before, but here they are.
I sometimes just have the urge to paint on something other than paper or canvases....
And then, at about 7 in the evening, the sky went a nasty greeny colour, the wind lashed the trees, and it rained in torrents, with loads of thunder and lightning flashes. It was pretty to watch, but I was happy not to be out in it. The thunder kept grumbling and rumbling all evening, and the lightning illuminated the night sky, but it seems to have blown over now.
Well, that was more than enough today. Here's wishing you all a great day, take care, and thanks for visiting.
WOW You were a very busy bunny yesterday, lots of wonderful decoration on your body parts ( not your body, I might add here) great effect, it's a bit like the seventies psychedelic decorating, beautiful, love it, Gay xxx
ReplyDeleteLove all your stuff, I still have one of your lovely bums hanging on my wall! Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteMorning Valarie, sounds like a full on day yesterday reminds me I keep promising to get the sucky thing out and move it around the house LOL
ReplyDeleteThink out appalling weather of yesterday, heavy rain all day, came over to you in the evening. It washed the sky which is now a very pretty shade of blue so perhaps that is what you will get next!
Body parts WOW! stunning glorious and brilliant fun. Blown away XOXO Zoe
Loving the decorated body parts especially the torso. Did have a little giggle at the photo with all the butts! x
ReplyDeleteGlad the butts gave you a laugh - sometimes things just need to be fun!
ReplyDeleteOh My goodness, these are STUNNING !!! So artistic and i reckon you should be selling these ? hope you are, they are amazing
ReplyDeleteHugs June x

ReplyDeleteWell look at this cheeky line up!! What a great thing to paint. Clever, multi-talented lady :)
ReplyDeleteWow Valerie the body parts are awsome and I can't beleive that a designer shop would not want them in their shop window especially the bums lol
ReplyDeleteHave a fun filled weekend

These really made me smile Valerie. They're so beautifully decorated that they really should be on display in a shop window, maybe a curio type one as they're very arty.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great day and a lovely weekend.
Hugs, Fliss xx
