 | The October Enchanted Vision’s Project is Dia de los Muertos. It came in after I created my Day of the Dead painting for the Bath House show. So in keeping with the spirit of the EV project,I did something completely new. And to make up for not blogging near enough,I made a video [...] I try and participate in a monthly themed exhibit most months. Some months are harder for me than others. This time I was given the theme “Ruby Slippers”. I didn’t want to go with the expected Wizard of Oz theme and to be honest I hate shoes. I should probably turn in my girl [...] End of the Rainbow.
