My gift to myself was getting this set to an even 10. :) I hope you all had a good quality 25th, and that you have a wonderful New Year, too. Shown smaller than the original completed size of 3600 X 4050 pixels. See one original source here .

I haven't used this more greenish blue color very much recently. So I thought it would make a nice change. I hope you enjoy it. Shown smaller than the original completed size of 4000 X 3300 pixels. See one original source here .

That's a TON of text! What was I thinking?! The blood red, of course, comes from looking at the news when I really shouldn't. And waiting so long to update comes from there, too. :/ Shown smaller than the original completed size of 3000 X 4035 pixels. It's a beautiful day, so now I'm finally going outside. :D

The spider is from a 1951 Spanish language dictionary from an estate sale. So I guess the alternate title could be "Araña Naranja." Sorry. Shown smaller than the original completed size of 3500 X 3500 pixels.

1950s, 60s, and 70s source material, referencing an 80s club hit. Over the last month, I've been playing every version of "Pump Up The Volume" YouTube has to offer as I search for the version which seemed to show up on the NYC radio stations every night in 1987. I haven't found it yet, but I'll never give up! :D Shown smaller than the original completed size of 5100 X 3102 pixels.

This series is now six years old. Until six minutes ago, I'd forgotten that the very first entry also had a clock in it. But not the same clock, so it's okay. :D Shown smaller than the original completed size of 3670 X 4486 pixels. See one original source here .

"Summertime, and the livin' is FOAMY!" :P Shown smaller than the original completed size of 3390 X 3150 pixels. See one original source here .

Still running two years behind schedule. Lol. I turned 58 today. I began this series in 2018, but lost a couple of years along the way. Even I wasn't sure that I knew why it became a series in the first place, until I remembered an obscure superhero comic from the late 1980s. A villain crashes a hero's birthday party, offers his arch foe a box of candy, and proclaims that the universe will end when the last candy is gone.

I swear, I really did have the tail worked out months in advance. It's just everything else that I rushed on over the past week or so. :P The young man's upper body is "Study Of A Seated Youth," by 17th Century artist Pietro Da Cortona.

Yes, I did scan huge handfuls of bread ties before finally making this. From now on, you'll see bread ties every day until they are all you can think of. ;) Shown smaller than the original completed size of 2820 X 4022 pixels. See one original source here .

Maybe tomorrow really will be yard work day. :) Shown smaller than the original completed size of 2775 X 3975 pixels.

Since it's two different TV dinner halves fused together, I await your "split screen" jokes. Shown smaller than the original completed size of 4500 X 3656 pixels. See one original source here .

I was thinking about falling cherry blooms, even though they don't really fall in the forest. The leafy lines make me think of caladiums, which I wish I could grow here. Too bad it's not warm enough for that. Shown smaller than the original completed size of 2828 X 4405 pixels.

A throwback of sorts to this fun little thing here . A whole lot of work, too and I hope you enjoy it. Have a great weekend, my buddies. :) Shown smaller than the original completed size of 3300 X 4375.

Hmm... Can you ditch nearly all of the expected Valentine colors and still call it a (late) Valentine? I think you can. :D Shown smaller than the original completed size of 2400 X 3600 pixels. See one original source here .

This piece began as a Pattern Overlay called "Satin" turned up almost to maximum size. Then the other elements were pasted over or under it. Shown smaller than the original completed size of 3620 X 4905 pixels. See one original source here .
