I Won Something and NOT in Vegas
I, Jafabrit, actually won something. I won a book called, "Men In Space" in a competition on The View From Here, a literary blog by writer Mike French. The question was what would you graffiti on the wall and I wrote JAFAGIRLS ROCK--hee! hee! of course! To see why the author, Tom McCarthy, chose my entry visit Mike's Blog. Considering I love Jaffa cakes and I love painting faces on Rocks, Tom got my number LOL! and was spot on.Thanks Mike and Tom
This is oil paint on a river stone.
The thing I like to do is confuse the viewer into wondering if it is the shape of the stone or the painting that has defined the features.

Anyways, I think I'm gonna do a little sticker graffiti job on the Abbey Road Studios wall when I go to London in May) I'm gonna print out the image of my beaded yellow submarine with the blue meanies in it and stick it on the wall, signed of course! Good idea, huh?
Congratulations on winning the book - that's terrific.
May I just say, you're looking fabulous!
If you don't know what a jaffa is then you ain't an aussie - check it out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaffas_(candy)
Good on you Jaffa girl.
I agree with Jean - I'm happy to be confused about the rock. It er... rocks!
And I agree with Cynthia too - you look good lady! (even without your tongue hanging out... I mean sticking out! hehehe)
thanks Jean, I loved painting the rock and this one was one of my favourites. I think it is now in LA somewhere embedded in someone's wall.
Glad your mum had a good giggle ssb :)
Oh yes Lone beader lol yes. I LOVE your idea for the sticker, very very cool and where better. I hope we will see photos of it actually on the wall.
That is an interesting connection bill, I will have to explore his work to see why?
thanks cynthia, I think after all the walking in zion National Park and Valley of Fire, as well as in Vegas paid off.
Jean I don't feel that qualified, still working on it lol! but I accept the compliment gracefully and will continue to try to live up to it.
You are looking great!
Congratulations on winning! That is always a pretty wonderful thing!
You were in IKEA Sunday?? So were we...like we could have seen one another? In all those people?? Grace loved the place as did Bill. My Mom did but it tired her out. I think we will go back later and see about a closet wall unit for Grace's room. It was fun but would have been more so with less crowd! : )
We are heading to YS today. I want to see the tree and show it to Grace. I will yell hello!! Listen for me..I am LOUD!
Hugs,
Sue
Oh I hope Grace adds something to the tree. You know a couple got married under it, tied the knot so to speak. It was sooooooo sweet. Hope you enjoy seeing it.
Love,
Linda
