Two more CDs done

I'm supposed to have lunch tomorrow with a few of my old girlfriends - we've known each other for about 17 years but we rarely get together. We all were in the dance troupe together and I just thought it would be nice to make them little presents. Although they seem strange at first glance there's a story behind why I did what I did for each of them.

This one is for Angie - I guess it might seem odd to call your friend a 'Shameless Hussy' but this is a scan of a button that she bought. She actually bought one for each of us.

This one is for Anne. I used the same photo but used a distortion effect to make us taller and thinner, LOL. The longer I look at this the less I like the letter stickers - so I'm just going to stop looking! The gold paper doily gives this a nice Victorian feel - I had to use some burnt umber glaze to tone it down. Reminds me of a story Sue used to tell . We had just finished a show for the Chamber of Commerce at a hotel ballroom and had gone to the adjoining bar to cool down and have a drink. She overheard a woman calling us 'soiled doilies' instead of 'soiled doves'. Guess we weren't what the tourists expected, LOL.

The photo was taken back in, oh, 1990 or so. Our whole troupe had gone to Alaskaland where we were having photos taken by a professional photographer to be used for the cover of the Fairbank's Visitor's Guide. It was my birthday that day and after the photo shoot we had cake and took these pictures of our little clique. We sure don't look like that anymore, sigh.
