I can't stay away from the circus for too long. Ever since I made my first circus wagon, I've been wanting to make another altered Altoid tin circus train. Finally, here it is:
And here are closeups of the individual cars:

Happy Homes
Every now and then, even I need a little break from the circus. And Altoid tins. So this week, I picked up a couple of 5" by 5" artist canvases at Michaels and made a couple of collages. The backgrounds are painted, and the houses are collaged. The flowers and the little bird were stamped on, and I added a couple of metal accents for a little dimension. It was fun to play with my paints again.

Clowns in the Lion Act
Don't you hate it when you get your lion act all perfect and a bunch of crazy clowns crash the party?
You just can't keep a good clown down.
Happy Friday!
