Day of the Dead Art Toys

hello... again! I just thought I'd let everyone see my little "consternation toys" I made for my girlfriend's Day of the Dead "anything goes" swap. Artists had to make 6 things...anything they wanted...matchbox shrines (which is what I had planned but couldn't find my MILLIONS of antique matchboxes in my studio...also still can't find the Altered Book I was supposed to have mailed two months ago...it's there, but I just haven't found it yet...I want to run away from that hell hole of a studio)...okay, that was my LAST bitch session of this post...so, everyone can relax..., bottlecap magnets, artist trading cards, etc....I'd recently bought some petrie dishes from the Science Surplus site and..wha la! I'm happy with these little toys...(see the vintage brass bb's? I got them at an antique store in Colorado). One more commitment marked OFF! I received my PawsLA ~ Six in the City complimentary tickets today. Is it possible for me to just jump on a plane and GO?? I will have a painting up for auction there...the event will be held at the Music Box Theater at the Fonda in Hollywood, California. The hostess is Wendie Malick...from Just Shoot Me fame and attending, receiving a "special presentation" will be Mike Myers. Tell me I should go...I bet it'll make me feel like a real artist. oxox
