He's playing a tune I wrote..." I'm crawlin around, on the ground, with smoke in my eyes, all because I'm blue for you pretty ALICE"

 

this is one of my favourites of yours so far

 

Teepi;
That is a killer piece of art,that would make an awesome tattoo.Hope you do well in the contest.Great work.I would like to use that for a tat,but it is your work so I guess this could be considered a request to use it.

**Ellie**
p.s. what is nibblefest??

 

woah, awesome teepi!!!!

 

AWW thanks everyone.

Ellie Nibblefest is a contest some of the artists on ebay have fun with every month.
It starts on the 20th and all entries start at .99.
We just see how mmany bids our entries can get and we have to honor the highest bid on our entry even if it never goes higher than 99 cents.
Last month was nursery rhymes and I did three blind mice stealing pie...you can see it in my gallery.
If anyone would like to see the entries for this months Alice in Wonderland theme...

I'm gonna take you to the Musical end of it, Teepi.
Was that song to the tune of something from the Beatles?
It sounds vaguely familiar.

 

"I'm Fixing A Whole. Where the rain com-es in. And stops my mind from wandering..."

 

yeah...something like that..but totally different...lol.

more along the lines of...Hootchie Cootchie Man by Muddy Waters.

"Gypsy woman told my mamma, before I was born...got a boy chile comin' gonna be a son-of-a-gun....ba da da da.

 

I am in LOVE with this...

Only $11.50!?!?!
I'd buy it, but I have NO cash.
And I still owe money on other things.
T, thanks again for the painting.
My mother will love it on Mother's Day.

 

I hope she will, thanks for buying it.
I wish I could give it all away but its allpart of the homesteading life now.
Gotta have a little green to get by it seems.

Yeah, I feel ya.
Too bad no barters, eh?
That's how I like to live.

 

We do barter when we can, my ex used to be a member of the American trade exchange back in the late 70's. They kept track of your barter points and you could spend them at other members businesses. He was a carpenter/tree trimmer and he could do a job and instead of being paid he would get points based on what the job would have paid. Then we could buy clothes or go to dinner or have work done on our car or house in exchange for the points...it was way cool.

I can't barter right now as we are working on paying our truck insurance right now for the next 6 months.
I also would like to see my kids that I haven't seen in a few years so....need the bucks.

 

I can feel ya, man!
Cash is hard to come by here latley.

 

that's really cool.

 

i love it

 

that is awesome teep man. after trying my hand at a painting the other day i can see where you have been busy, really takes work and dedication, unless your really gifted i guess. still would be nice to PM with ya, lol...
