Italian shadow box-No. 3 in series

Italian box-series 3
Another box in the series-Flemme Valley in the mountains. crackled and rusted with a little village.

My altered turtle shell

my altered turtle shell
I painted the whole inside of the shell with blue iridescent luminescence. Added shells and other embellishments, the saying came from altered arts magazine. They showed this done on a shell. My turtle shell is 12 x 10 and stands on a plate rack. It has sand and lots of glitter added. The picture is an older man reading to a group of children on the beach. Don't know where the picture came from. When you have so many(as you all know) you kind of forget where they came from.

Can I figure out everything????

Believe me I am trying to figure it out, pictures, settings, photobucket ebay, so many things, my mind can't even hold it all.
Trying to get myself on a routine schedule for good health ,exercise , too much gossiping going on. trying to be a happier person, stronger and more organized. Is it the New year, or all the snow in WI? Doing a lot of projects, planning some new changes in the house,decorating, new painting technique on an unfinished buffet, doing some auctions.
I find a lot of things seem to be unfair in the big picture, The rulea are not always the same for everyone. that bothers me, I think consistency is the key to everything. What's good for one is good for another. What do you think?
