18 January 1913 – 3 March 1987) was a celebrated American actor, singer, dancer, and comedian. His best known performances featured physical comedy, idiosyncratic pantomines, and rapid-fire nononsense songs.
Jamie and I watched him during our Christmas marathon of movies in the 1954 production of White Christmas...it was so much fun decorating the tree, drinking egg nog and watching this movie!

Here's another 6 x12" wall hanging that I created using
a lot of
Faber Castell products. The background was made with the Metallic Gelatos. I scribbled some on the board and then spritzed with water using my finger to blend. Then I rubbed a little bit of the Gelato on a wax sheet, added water to it and then dabbed my paintbrush in and splattered it around.
I used the Art Grip Aquarelle pencils to color in the brushes. I also embellished the brushes with rhinestones, beads and pearls. I used my Pitt Pens to doodle on them and the Pitt artist pen Big Brush to color the stamps and give each brush it's unique inspiration.
I took images from magazines to create the brush tips.
The writing
is straight,
promise it is, but this picture makes it look a little warped. I like the eclectic look of my
Dymo Label Maker along with the chipboard letters. The texture on the jar was created by using a crumpled piece of kitchen wax paper and then glued on.
The edge of the board was made using my charcoal pencils, smudging it with my finger and then I used my
American Craft Galaxy Marker to create the white dots. Strung with twie and beads ( some recycled from an old pair of sandals! )

Hi Sandee, I love your wall hanging, it is so vibrant and that sentiment is just so true. Gosh, I can remember Danny Kaye, he was a wonderfully talented man. Not thought about him for years..... Hugs, Anne x
