ICU - RSD
Hello! I'm here just to share for fun a little make that I did. My mojo's been out the door because Monday I learn from the psychiatrist that the medication that I was taking wasn't the right one... that explains why I wasn't getting better and actually felt worst in some aspect. The good news is that I had made some change myself by doing really NOTHING which meant that the darker thoughts stayed away even if I was feeling sad and tired.
And of course I also learned on Sunday the dismantling of the SBS team and that bummed me out as well... It's a good thing that I'm doing mixed media these days... playing with paints and getting all dirty is really helping my mood and letting me cope better with stuff... I can't do much but the little I do brightens up my day.
Anyway that's not why I'm here... I'm kinda in a zombie mood... maybe because I'm feeling a bit like one?!? That actually might be close to the truth.... and I have used a lot of zombies in my coffee little altered book. This one is the great ICU zombie image from Rick St-Dennis. I just love this guy!!! And had to replace his blood supply with some coffee supply after finding the quote that I used online :)
Here it is:
I used some washi tape, some cheesecloth that I colored with some Cherrie pie dylusions sprays. I used my MS punch on some paper that I got in a swap and used my October afternoon letters as well for the sentiment. On the side that I put the coffee sentiment I did some stenciling with a crafter's companion stencil.
Here's a closer look at the digi colored with my copics.

ReplyDeleteVicky, hang in there! And inking and getting messy helped me out of a box I crawled into after my husband's death 11 years ago. But it only happened less than a year ago when I discovered this medium and outlet! So keep on crafting as you can and you will come out on the side with the light again I am so sure! Love this zombie and replacing his iv with coffee is how I feel most mornings! lol! Thanks for playing with us again at Dream in Darkness this month! ~Nan, CT~
