what's UP in the studio?

Here's my update for all the projects I'm working on this week.  Once again, I've probably been too ambitious, but we'll see how it goes:)
For starters, I'm getting close to completing my new tulip that I started last week.  It began as a deep crimson parrot, but somewhere along the way decided that it wanted to be a black parrot when it grew up, so I've finished the highlights and just have to work on the purple-black tones the fade out from the center and the background....so not much longer, I hope!
Next up;  this weeks challenge for Inspiration Avenue is "My Town".  Since I've been dying to do an art doll and a shadow box from a canvas, that's how I'm going to address the challenge.  Here are some of the materials, I'm planning to use.....
And last but not least, my new altered book.  I've finished the prep work on the book, I'm just going to white wash over the exterior and then modge-podge the butterfly papers on.  Then I'll paint my Joie figure onto the canvas, and put the quote on the cover.  I *might" add some tags in, haven't really decided yet;)
There you have it, what's UP in the studio for this week, I'm crossing my fingers that work goes fast and well.
Happy creating- Cheers,
Stephanie

You are certainly ambitious. I can tell you create every day. That lovely tulip is going to be finished just in time for the real ones in my garden. OK, mine aren't as pretty or colorful, but they are tulips.

I had to go back and read some posts about your "Joie de Vivre" series of ABs. I also perused your completed ones. Very beautiful selection. It must be wonderful to be so talented that you use your own hand painted images in them.
