Good morning world!
This has been a busy crafty week and I haven't had time to participate in the challenges that I signed up for, so I got up early this morning to make a good attempt at it. This post is for the Art Journal Journey- She Art Challenge and for the Paper Saturdays Challenge.
I grew up with five (5) incredible brothers and no sisters. Needless to say and to the disappointment of my parents, I was (and am) quite the tomboy. My nickname is Nay Nay, my brothers call me Nay. When I started my art journal this figure kept appearing in my doodles, so much that I ended up hand carving her as a stamp and then having her professionally made into a stamp. You'll notice that I reuse a lot of my images in my work. However, the image of Nay is my alter ego, her spirit is all mine! My hair is not that unruly, though as a child I HATED to get my hair done. Today I have long dreads. Blue jeans are my second skin and I'm waaay to old to wear a midriff top, but I would rock those boots in a heart beat! That's my story and I'm stickin to it!!!
Do you have an alter ego image that you use in your work, or a reoccurring theme?
Until the next blog...enjoy!

I LOVE HER! That's so cool that your made your alter ego figure into a stamp too. I think that I have one too, and he's got spiky hair like me, but a little thinner than I am now. LOL! Have a blessed weekend.
