A View To A Cactus

These are some art projects i've done over the past 6 months or so. Of course they are all cactus related!

The first is a big canvas i painted, approx 4 feet by 3 feet, of an agave leaf. It's detail is a bit more prominent than the pattern really is. It looks more "Arty" that way :o)

I took this picture with my phone and it's not as sharp as i'd like it to be.

Below is our back room between the toilet, the laundry, and the back door. We painted the room bright yellow. All it needed for a finishing touch was...a prickly pear cactus! It's about 5 1/2 feet tall. You can roughly see the size judging from Johns stinky-ass size 13 shoes.

This pic was taken with my phone too.

Below is a photo taken while the kids were playing with a big bubble blower. There were bubbles all over the back yard, but the one that stood out was this one. A bubble just sitting on all those prickles??? It looks really pretty! :o)

I wish that blasted weed wasn't sticking out at the right!

Below are two pictures i blogged about back in November on another blog.

I was going through some stuff and i found this green Christmas tree ball. I thought, "Heeyyy this looks like a funky space cactus!" And Taa Daa the disco cactus is born!!

I collect cactus "things". Anything to do with cactus, so needless to say, eBay is Johns worst nightmare! lol I have collected over the years some clothing tags that have cactus on them. And some cactus stamps from all over the world. [As well as lots of other kitch!]I've also collected tiny picture frames because as a hoarder, i knew i'd have a groovy use for them one day. Over the past few days i've painted the frames and put the cactus tags and some of my fav stamps in them. Then i hung them in the small wall space between Jason & ours room. Don't they just look awesome?!?!
[Except this pic was taken with the phone too!]
