I've always been a bit of a pirate girl . . .

My art friend, Cindy McC, asked recently how I managed to keep my "word of the year" present and useful. One thing I do is to make a couple of art pieces with the word, usually based on definitions or quotes with the word.  I've posted one here and another here.  I made one more little project . . . a little charm to add to my key chain.  It's in the upper right corner of today's picture.  The charm was made with Ranger fragments and features the line Johnny Depp utters to end The Pirates of the Caribbean movie as he sails off to new adventures . . . "Now, bring me that horizon." It's on utube here.  And, yes, there's a picture of Capt. Jack Sparrow on the other side of the charm.  I really want a necklace like this one with my word for the year, but I'm unwilling to pay that much for it!  I am considering making a dominoe or two with my word and maybe, just maybe, my friend Cindy will make me one of her oh-so-cool soldered necklaces with my word . . .

Finally, here's an art journal page I made which focuses exploring new horizons in travel.  As always, you can click on it to enlarge if you want.
