I am being a big, grown-up Artist who wrassles with important, Deep Art Questions and is not taken in by girly sugary frivolities like these from beedhappy:
Because as an Arteest I am serious and profound and meaningful and not 50s-era tacky in pinks and
bright blues which I wouldn't know what to do with in my actual work, my oeuvre, my soul's
labor over which I sweat and suffer! And I manage my time responsibly and don't have ick growing
in my toilets with fully developed eco-systems! Nor do I waste hours staring at cutesy dollhouse mini
furniture for no damn reason because really why would I? Exactly what are you accusing me of anyways you? You imaginary person I'm yelling at hyper defensively?
And anyways, if I were... if I were wasting the precious hours of my life thusly... it's, it's really hot out and as an artist I don't have to explain myself and, and- this is an anomaly!
Phew.
Yeah.
...
Could some- ... anomaly in the -... (pause) space! time! continuum be causing this.... anomaly?
Bride of the galaxy, princess of vast spaces. Our lady of the badass nebula.
You know what's weird I just realized? Earlier today? I'm not goofy or silly in my art. At all. But when I speak as me, personally, as Marina, I cannot not be a goof. Why is that? Like, I'm certainly not considering naming the above 'Our Lady of the Badass Nebula.' ... (On our left, inexplicably twinnified Jesus.)
Here's a thing! It's not cosmic, though.
Here's a pink thing.
Here's a done thing I keep forgetting to photograph. But wait- now it's darker and sort of maroon-ish. It's a canister with a connected top that opens and closes along a cord thing slide thing. I are so articulate!
Above another done thing I can't remember to photograph.
The cuff here is way tight on my wrist, thus making it awesome for all y'all boney maloneys whose wrists are smaller than 6.5 or so. I gotta stop doing that. Thing is I had it all cut out and assembled when I suddenly remembered- ANGLE! I forgot to cut and curl hinges on an angle! Happens when you're making 58 things at a time and can't even remember to brush your teeth. Oh crap. No, seriously I think I forgot to brush my teeth today. CRAP! I don't mean to be gross... Did I eat?

girly, pink, sugary frivolities is exactly where my brain likes to rest these days. Lovin your cosmic religious creations... wow that phrase seems heavy but your work is light filled and fun. Baby kewpie is adorable... ouch on the knuckles..
Ha! Have you been looking at my Etsy favorites? I am really liking the cosmic ladies collages, especially the one with her hands up.
the badass lady of the nebula rocks, really! It would so suit this t-shirt:

I, Penny Elizabeth Neil do hearby give formal notice of a CORONARY over those maidens in space. You know how I adore my Victorian Sci-fi!! 19th century space opera!!! MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!!!!! I want one, I think the girl with the crown. But I like me a simple chain with teeny beads. We shall discuss this later.
Ahem. *adds all those beads to favourites* I agree on the sentiments expressed, serious art requires serious supply, looking deep within...to the glitter chasms...the abysss of pink flowers...I mean rustic assemblage...bluebirds...sunshine...
Oh I forgot to say, if you dip your glass cutting tool in kerosene, it will glide over the surface easier. My daddy teach me this. I suppose if you're really weird and you don't have any kerosene about the house, you could use olive oil?
WhooooWheeee just look at all that eye candy--pink and glittery, dark and crusty...
I can see why you might be too busy to even brush your teeth or clean the toilet--(ewww that sounds awful when you put toilet and teeth together in the same sentence), but you are forgiven. See how nice your readers are? Now at least you should go get dressed.
Gorgeous sci-fi antique-y ladies!
I always suspected you had some pink tendencies buried under all that grunge. Great WIP. Love the open/close thingy. Next tool you need now that you have a rolling mill is a ring saw to cut out glass in fancy shapes. :)
Really digging the twinnified Jesus piece.
I always wondered what those bowl ecosystems were called!
Ditch the el-cheapo glass cutter and get yourself a good quality Toyo. Small tin, with piece of cloth in the bottom soaked in kero/olive oil, or lubricant of choice. Cut glass on a piece of smooth carpet.
Loving the pink-cosmic vibe!
Love the cosmic vibe...but that baby still FREAKS ME! I've got small wrists, but no money, so I'll have to stick to window shopping.
"Our Lady of the Bad-Ass Nebula"
sounds about perfect to me...she is just about perfect her own self.
Hey thanks for the visit!
