She was at work the evening the tornado hit. She works at St. Johns Mercy Hospital and that is where she called me from minutes after the storm to let me know she was ok. We were out taking a walk and I had left my phone on the table. I got home to several messages from family members who live in the area and her panicked message.<br /><br />To say the least I was a bit hysterical. I waited and waited in hopes that she would be able to use her cell phone again. Immediately we were on the search for some news from the area. We sat and watched the live feed from the weather channel. The broadcaster arrived within 30 minutes after the storm and was parked right outside the hospital. We watched as the newscaster broke down and cried, overwhelmed with emotion due to the mass destruction and utter devastation.<br /><br />I just knew her home was gone. She lived a little less then a mile from the hospital and it seemed to be where the epicenter of the storm hit. I waited and waited until midnight rolled around and my husband had finally got me to just get ready for bed & wait for more info in the morning. Then my cell phone rang. It was my Mom. She had just walked from the hospital to her home. It was still standing. I squealed with delight. I felt better knowing that she had someplace to sleep that night and her little dog was ok too.<br /><br />The day after the storm my uncles and cousin drove out to Joplin to help her. That is when the it became quite apparent that she needed to get out herself and her stuff out of her home. The roof was falling down and well the house was much more damaged then she had thought when she got home in the dark the night before.<br /><br />Unbeknownst to mother nature and her plan I had booked my ticket a month before for my visit. I was to fly out to Kansas City the Wednesday after the storm. Perfect timing right ?<br />I think so...<br /><br />I just got back Thursday evening from spending a little over 2 weeks with her. There are no words to explain what I saw. To see the devastation in person only makes you question how the death toll was not higher. The May 22 tornado has claimed 153 lives, as of Friday. It was hard to capture the magnitude with photos-it felt like you were peeking into peoples lives, which left me feeling queasy.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLoav2WDbZnYtTSh6C53I5xG3nMBAY3pwbJlPD_kHZGpQCx_c2osMm4j5le0HnQLV561383qbZnvqy-s44rX_ujuToTykd6tvPeyfxeihub_sDSmsdoizE7vnd3r3fWpJUIROPeaWAbhtY/s1600/IMG_0344.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLoav2WDbZnYtTSh6C53I5xG3nMBAY3pwbJlPD_kHZGpQCx_c2osMm4j5le0HnQLV561383qbZnvqy-s44rX_ujuToTykd6tvPeyfxeihub_sDSmsdoizE7vnd3r3fWpJUIROPeaWAbhtY/s400/IMG_0344.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617489828552034354" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3LBQV0elu7wBniyQ8BIT84ZoDH4K-Wu5RFhfish5WMW80R6078ov9MEhMA5HhBw89hXWSBnngbBjYxPDxE1UmZER4BOQb_OhF-2SRnm0x1f5DLykKqj6pDII5V96JWc0sjo5nxsE-kXg7/s1600/IMG_0345.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3LBQV0elu7wBniyQ8BIT84ZoDH4K-Wu5RFhfish5WMW80R6078ov9MEhMA5HhBw89hXWSBnngbBjYxPDxE1UmZER4BOQb_OhF-2SRnm0x1f5DLykKqj6pDII5V96JWc0sjo5nxsE-kXg7/s400/IMG_0345.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617490274632768450" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmrJv0pJkWPektY6J3rL4Ufm-hZhbJmLICjk6RowdWmioMovNBtx2hEJkMof6xPwZ3AABDu29i9UMroEi0qS7r_wX7cySnwG4iSF7xTRlDZhVKunVfRH0BQOxZbYvlo5oxXGf1lLXRaXn0/s1600/IMG_0419.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmrJv0pJkWPektY6J3rL4Ufm-hZhbJmLICjk6RowdWmioMovNBtx2hEJkMof6xPwZ3AABDu29i9UMroEi0qS7r_wX7cySnwG4iSF7xTRlDZhVKunVfRH0BQOxZbYvlo5oxXGf1lLXRaXn0/s400/IMG_0419.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617487831061103314" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibHMQ5szFuRofYsap5YQAgGAHRkQdt9GdFkYGf0g7mhiFuOfVOEDWa0c3KgPKMH_vizxG3MZZ5oTR7irU5hTkcogiCtSk6SlfgxW-IXrTBjLtFG-Yf6jw_szXpAMTwbwBA_rwFCcbteMcM/s1600/IMG_0412.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibHMQ5szFuRofYsap5YQAgGAHRkQdt9GdFkYGf0g7mhiFuOfVOEDWa0c3KgPKMH_vizxG3MZZ5oTR7irU5hTkcogiCtSk6SlfgxW-IXrTBjLtFG-Yf6jw_szXpAMTwbwBA_rwFCcbteMcM/s400/IMG_0412.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617488269286023042" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQD8tnB7sFA5WKJRrTvZQuij6LCqGZMYlBNF7y5gZ27MjMojKWNjFU-Q3MMNHTwF3fPMD66cLb2UqmGxdLvlL_s1rNM2tXakXXlocuhhuZNshndUf_bk3V04v_lVe4xHtWxE8DzHh9UR4D/s1600/IMG_0356.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQD8tnB7sFA5WKJRrTvZQuij6LCqGZMYlBNF7y5gZ27MjMojKWNjFU-Q3MMNHTwF3fPMD66cLb2UqmGxdLvlL_s1rNM2tXakXXlocuhhuZNshndUf_bk3V04v_lVe4xHtWxE8DzHh9UR4D/s400/IMG_0356.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617488948682261314" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2drAz9VCCpXMXZKePz_ykFDVfZ4R-okoieZR2GEAZwZhzh3HRIJBU64hiGXrBK9qSV-nXfTPW-NHhrR_MsITcOq95tCbjlOA1dq5qFaV8cDOSEueJ3PdfmVJTr9Hodn3Z3fy-0JJHJNHO/s1600/IMG_0365.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2drAz9VCCpXMXZKePz_ykFDVfZ4R-okoieZR2GEAZwZhzh3HRIJBU64hiGXrBK9qSV-nXfTPW-NHhrR_MsITcOq95tCbjlOA1dq5qFaV8cDOSEueJ3PdfmVJTr9Hodn3Z3fy-0JJHJNHO/s400/IMG_0365.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617489233939637746" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhscgT39mPllhXrt9vFKJSRfat_ozxr9UzCQQn9KZwaUTcbSr-g-yrYXuf8GuYXMaeCGwK0erQCUOpVnwo5ftKhw28VkOENellUV7TPh0XV_bDEjgQZf61WzbVtENPORLNCKk9rUBxMfHSr/s1600/IMG_0417.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhscgT39mPllhXrt9vFKJSRfat_ozxr9UzCQQn9KZwaUTcbSr-g-yrYXuf8GuYXMaeCGwK0erQCUOpVnwo5ftKhw28VkOENellUV7TPh0XV_bDEjgQZf61WzbVtENPORLNCKk9rUBxMfHSr/s400/IMG_0417.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617491172986607426" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I have soooo much to be thankful for- I cannot even put my thanks into words.

The first piece was from a show that we used a blank skate deck as a substrate . There was not an overall subject matter so it was up to the artist to um wreck the deck. I'm a big fan of using mixed medias. So in this piece I started with a hand drawn sketch of my clock shape onto some wood veneer I bought from the craft store. Next I hand cut the wood veneer with an exacto blade (yeah i had blisters from this- oh yes i did). Then I proceeded to paint it with acrylic paint. To prep the deck I used some iridescent medium and put just a few coats so the wood finish would still show. I also purchased a clock kit , some sheet metal grating, some chain, old wallpaper and some super grandma doilys to use. I priced this guy kinda high since I really just wanted to keep it.<br /></div>so here is the final product- I call it cuckoo for you :) :<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihUQN7f3d3whI_TituPjehMMSSpxBqpVUgsMlD1tHgp5jQK8RnGHjVke01vEb_ZZGcxgx2VxKejhVuXaxfb927vEXGIr7Af8-n_fyc2nvFrR4nyg6yCHmcHsAOy62PP7XaH39oB2bv9zdU/s1600/3128_1167102097277_1219662494_464075_1355823_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihUQN7f3d3whI_TituPjehMMSSpxBqpVUgsMlD1tHgp5jQK8RnGHjVke01vEb_ZZGcxgx2VxKejhVuXaxfb927vEXGIr7Af8-n_fyc2nvFrR4nyg6yCHmcHsAOy62PP7XaH39oB2bv9zdU/s400/3128_1167102097277_1219662494_464075_1355823_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501665443465740706" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZnYuEGE5ag7u73Fwfyd9DVaUxGfDHgKNKwYxqPMfD78K_D7Wught_Y88zWvYwyx6Srkj1QFxEl0i7eH_GT902JMr8vBxQ8n0wzPE6ujUB5nTaSggz4sPYeCn0oXfQZEhouzZbBwPsZz5v/s1600/3128_1167275621615_1219662494_464614_3684534_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZnYuEGE5ag7u73Fwfyd9DVaUxGfDHgKNKwYxqPMfD78K_D7Wught_Y88zWvYwyx6Srkj1QFxEl0i7eH_GT902JMr8vBxQ8n0wzPE6ujUB5nTaSggz4sPYeCn0oXfQZEhouzZbBwPsZz5v/s400/3128_1167275621615_1219662494_464614_3684534_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501665718939981218" border="0" /></a>and here is my digital interpretation- obviously it is not exactly the same but I think it would make swell poster:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3MoaRNjK3gP9JVCwNMORYVcF74OeIUKJB81L6pKcEFnnveewntxC-YFrRAImbuYF43PRYruHHS4sucVcO1fJNma-60m8zeA3kn6R8KLO10Rvq9KNviYDssHd6d_T5LTNOnF8MEPjqezbh/s1600/5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 262px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3MoaRNjK3gP9JVCwNMORYVcF74OeIUKJB81L6pKcEFnnveewntxC-YFrRAImbuYF43PRYruHHS4sucVcO1fJNma-60m8zeA3kn6R8KLO10Rvq9KNviYDssHd6d_T5LTNOnF8MEPjqezbh/s400/5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501666210352449618" border="0" /></a>Next project was from yet another group show that called record breakers. In this show we used a old vinyl records as a substrate. In all honesty I'm not much of a painter- but I attempted a bit more on this piece then the first. I also used some of the leftover wood veneer from cuckoo for you on the balloon basket and lil'guy. I thought I had priced this one a little high and assumed it would not sell- but surprisingly, it did & the buyer is hanging it in his little girls room- which made me super happy to know:). I'm thinking of using some 45s and doing a small series of additional ones with different elements & charecters/animals.<br />Here is outcome:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie-5gSmBYJbc2VHNKWdiEc-fIDMXN9lT9SeSPd5pVAXxY8BBjWhAqsR0pVeGaZviWIZh8HP87EUYKCCRAcRhFvwg_Fa1MreA4OFXupwpm3l8khLpmBGqomg4gFGgJPXUOSuwoE30Eeo11D/s1600/33414_1558853370814_1219662494_1573805_1678056_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie-5gSmBYJbc2VHNKWdiEc-fIDMXN9lT9SeSPd5pVAXxY8BBjWhAqsR0pVeGaZviWIZh8HP87EUYKCCRAcRhFvwg_Fa1MreA4OFXupwpm3l8khLpmBGqomg4gFGgJPXUOSuwoE30Eeo11D/s400/33414_1558853370814_1219662494_1573805_1678056_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501676538305332450" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwQFAKMhfQZmwpEoGHKuFUvPtTfmzg9zC8PDfzF7yntMlb2d6pIeJVxzveODzNTpGFPuF2Zp3vWaCvmIy_r3ySiDryH2jnyDy__Kn1j0hlvvyNouoBUvLwI54ydvV7RI_cvem-J9pYjwkJ/s1600/38034_1558853010805_1219662494_1573804_746663_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwQFAKMhfQZmwpEoGHKuFUvPtTfmzg9zC8PDfzF7yntMlb2d6pIeJVxzveODzNTpGFPuF2Zp3vWaCvmIy_r3ySiDryH2jnyDy__Kn1j0hlvvyNouoBUvLwI54ydvV7RI_cvem-J9pYjwkJ/s400/38034_1558853010805_1219662494_1573804_746663_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501676765450321106" border="0" /></a>Ok on to the digital translation- still different but once again I would love to print these on some nice French paper- hmmm maybe the Kraft from the Muscletone assortment- ohh yes please :<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo0ouXgcKxkUPt_wj10FBpcN5EMZ0sIaqXBj1UdNEHJRU-NwZFUZ6Vhrgi_ow4MB1lqXee0pnlZ7OrhsQCOWBH_0KJu8lwM8V_9GThOqatp0wsFlQFreREWDYRWrhv8PbU8aV3Q6HUBe62/s1600/8.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 297px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo0ouXgcKxkUPt_wj10FBpcN5EMZ0sIaqXBj1UdNEHJRU-NwZFUZ6Vhrgi_ow4MB1lqXee0pnlZ7OrhsQCOWBH_0KJu8lwM8V_9GThOqatp0wsFlQFreREWDYRWrhv8PbU8aV3Q6HUBe62/s400/8.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501677734794314514" border="0" /></a>I have a few more pieces that fit into this post but I think I will save them a later date.

The wedding colors are poole blue and purple and their main flower is the purple daisy so i just took that info and ran with it :) I'm in charge of the escort cards, thank you cards and the ceremony program. The escort cards will either hang on a clothesline with cute little mini clothespins or we might just decorate a cork board and use some little embellished stick pins. The paddle fan will be double sided either with the detailed ceremony step-by-step or just more happy funtime design and illustrated goodness.<br /><br /><br />Speaking of designing custom wedding paper goods - here is a collection I did for a friend for her wedding last summer. I designed her invite (which was double sided), an r.s.v.p card and her program- which is not shown here. She pretty much let me do whatever I wanted as long as I used her wedding colors which were kind of a magenta and spartan green. She and her husband are also bird aficionados so a bird illustration was definitely a must as well.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0kJkqwuzWjda3q11hyphenhypheneQFKOcG96yZCpUejP9mB1mPDXEvB94q2l8G4eGFjR5NRPTq48cR1WG0pMvinEGs-t1Q5oyoJbAAQePe0Pb1V3DouHc_wNzcLeZc4T7PQwBh6ry0F-jZtqBsGyFN/s1600/wedding2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 333px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0kJkqwuzWjda3q11hyphenhypheneQFKOcG96yZCpUejP9mB1mPDXEvB94q2l8G4eGFjR5NRPTq48cR1WG0pMvinEGs-t1Q5oyoJbAAQePe0Pb1V3DouHc_wNzcLeZc4T7PQwBh6ry0F-jZtqBsGyFN/s400/wedding2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500618008633012002" border="0" /></a><br />Well I'm off to finish watching a movie with my super-swell husband and our little stinkerpie puppyface.
