If the Borgia's had light switchplates

If the Borgia's had light switch plates, in my imagination they would look something like this!

Maybe the Fleur De Lis' wouldn't be on there ;-D

My newest switchplate!


Happy Monday, have a wonderful week!

    You made me laugh out loud...yeah, I don't think the Fluer De Lis would be on there. Your design, sculpting and colors are beautiful. Love that switchplate!!

    This is just gorgeous! The other day as I was driving my mother to Phoenix, we were discussing Popes, politicians and other thieves, and she brought up a Pope who had children. I asked her which one, many had children!! We couldn't think of name, but then on Friday night, my sis was watching some series on HBO and there was a reference to some king being poisoned and one of the nobleman said poison was the weapon of women...it then hit me, THE BORGIA'S!! LOL I yelled it out to my mother and she looked at me as if I was growing lobsters out my ears....I reminded her of our discussion during our road trip to see my sis....she then remembered...then my sister looked at both of us as if we were growing lobsters out our ears. She then told me that's a series on Showtime, which none of us subscribe to..sigh!!

    Anyway, your light switch is just amazing, as is all your work. Have a good week.

    Just beautiful. They really are!

    I tried watching the Borgias but I couldn't get into it. After watching the Tudors, well nothing compares with Henry the VIII.......

    Methinks they would have hired you as the House Artiste! Marie, I have been quietly admiring your work. So delicate and your mind and fingers are so agile.

    You know, I started drawing steam punk last month and it is quite interesting. Totally different concept and very alien to me but I like imagining the ticking and tocking and whirring of the gear and ball bearings. I still am not into it totally and have to immerse all the mechanics in a verdant place just to counteract the metal taste. I actually feel the metal in my mouth when I draw steam punk. What do you call that? Some sort of gustatory hallucination?

    How are you and how is my young friend Madi? Hope you are all well. Best regards. Tsup!!!

    Thanks Roberta.

    I loved Henry the 8th too.
    I had a time getting in to the Borgia's also but now... I am hooked.
    It was just the first couple of shows, that people and the scenes were being laid out that got me.

    I would have liked that, but the price of screwing up would have been too steep me thinks. ;-D
    Thank you Ces, what a wonderful compliment.


    You and steampunk!!! I can totally see it!
    I am doing fairly well and Madi is getting so big. She has whole conversations with us now.
    It is truly amazing.

    That pattern in the background is from Victoria James Molds. She has great texture sheets and patterns Bella. I love it!!
    The roundy button things are from some roundy button things that are vintage pieces.
    Thanks Bella!

    how delicate and sturdy at the same time. i'm amazed by where your imagination goes, marie. you should be a castle curator and castle resident artist. can't you see it? there would be a standing line of battle weary warriors looking to your bolts and hearts and in this case crucifixes.

    where will this switchplate live?

    love

    Thanks Deb. I am going to borrow some words from my friend Klew who said it perfectly,
    "Thanks, words of encouragement and support are valuable to all artists....it's like breath itself! I appreciate all of you!"
