I haven't had a whole lot of time for art lately--we're going out of town for a few days for the holiday weekend, so I've been getting ready for that, and last week we were getting things ready for my daughter's wedding. But I've taken some time for art every day, just like I always do (I can't imagine not doing that!)
Last month I made a new girl for my journal--

I love making these faces in my journal--I usually end up liking them, and when I do, I want to use them. So that's what I did--I put her on the top of a cigar box--
Whenever I do this (print out my art), I always enhance it some more with paint or crayons or whatever, and I like her face even more now. And I'm very happy with the rest of the box too--
And then I wanted to use images from by Dream pieces so I made a Dream box--
This is the top....and....a few weeks ago, I went to an antique show, and I found these--
I knew excactly what I was going to use them for....
They make great pedestal stands for boxes--among other uses, I'm sure.
....really happy with both of these, and I can't wait to bring them back out for my upcoming shows--- really anxious and excited for the show season!
So I'm not going to be around until Tuesday. I hope everyone celebrating, has a great holiday weekend!

I just love your boxes - they are wondrously crazy and colourful. Beautiful work Diane.
You have an incredible knack for this type of work. Just awesome. Happy weekend.
Gorgeous face on that girl Diane! Your boxes are AMAZING.....so much detail and layers, I really can't get over how you do all that! I have been scarce myself lately....health issues, and lack of time, so I apologize for not being here all the time. Have a great holiday weekend!
Just love the boxes Dianne--you inspire me to get out one the cigar boxes I have and give it a try!
These are great! I love the color and texture each piece has. Have a great weekend!

Dear Diane,
they look fantastic, both - and the one with your beautiful girl is gorgeous-the wonderful colours and drawings, and so detailed.I love it, also a great idea with the small bowls -I have some also, but want to use them for pincussions :-)
Wish you a lovely week-end dear .
Hugs,Dorthe

How AWESOME. I've not made anything and I mean ANYTHING in three weeks. I'm glad you find time to make art every day. And of course, it shows, too.
Hope you have a safe and happy Memorial Day and a fun trip.
Have a safe and relaxing weekend!
always wonderful to see what you are creating Diane.
I hope you are enjoying your weekend.
Diane, Your journal page is beautiful and your boxes are devine. Have a wonderful weekend away :o)
I just Love your boxes and the faces beautiful, I bought a whole bunch of those jello cups at a antique shop but didnt know what they where for, right now I use them for candles and holding small stuff they will become ornies for Christmas:O) Have a great day:O)
cool idea! Have fun!
Your pieces are just gorgeous. I love faces like these and on the box is really pretty.
I hope someday my grand daughter can create art like yours. She is off to a real good start at 10.
She too loves to paint faces.
Love
Maggie

Hi Diane. Thanks for stopping by my PPF! Love your wonderful boxes. I always love how your boxes come out and your girls are beautiful. Diane, this too is "real life." Cept it's a little cyber.:)
I LOVE your boxes! There is always so much detail, interest, and color. I think the little bowls work perfectly too! Such beautiful, inspiring work as always. :) I told my daughter that you liked her owl. She grinned from ear to ear and jumped up and down. It is amazing what positive, encouraging words can do! Thank you!! :)
Gorgeous! You know, the last time I went to an art show, I scoured the booths looking if anyone did boxes - and no one did! They will be a hit for sure, xoxo
she looks lovely on your new box. they always look so pulled together! what a clever use of he Jello molds.
have a great weekend :)
Stunning work I love how you have reused your beautiful journal face ;0) Love Dawn xx
