Victorian Mechanical Card
Hello,
The web page design is coming along...I can't believe I'm still working on it.  When things don't work, I'm sure I'm the hyper part of hyperlink.

I added another USA flag to the Victorian Mechanical Card that Pops out.  It was a good project as it got me away from the new website for awhile.

Pulling the tab to the left moves the curtains in the window...to see inside the house:

Finished size fits a 5"H x 7"W envelope.
Just learned that I can't put a .pdf with the instructions in this Journal.  
It will be available free on my website.   www.PetrinaCase.com or if you'd
like it sooner, just let me know :     email:  Petrina@PetrinaCase.com

          ~The exercise for aggravation comes in two forms: 
                                       Smile awhile or smile not.

Hope you're smilin',
Petrina

More to life

I created a new Pop-Up today & sent it off to a Client for their ok & to have them add the verbiage they want on it.  Should have done some other things, like laundry, but I'm driven to get my website set up.  I'm about 1/3rd of the way there.  I hope I'm finished by tomorrow...wish me luck. 

This Fisherman is made out of 20 Business Cards.  I had a heck of a time getting him to stand up straight on his own.  I ended up reinforcing the left leg with another piece of a business card so he doesn't lean back too far.  The fishing pole is a little wider than perfection but the first trial bent over from the weight of the fish.

Today would have been a good day to do some watercolors but I would have had to sit in the car to paint the scene I wanted.  It's way too cold out.

There should be more to life than staying in the studio all day, I keep telling myself.  At least I got some art work done & made some progress...

       - Sometimes there isn't more to Life, except avoiding the rat race.  -

Smile awhile,
Petrina

A sunny day
Today, I start my journal. Hopefully, this will keep my new projects in sync.
