Every day I come across photographs that are beautiful, startling, or funny. Sometimes - they are examples of fabulous photography but more often - they are photos of places or things I simply find appealing. And these days the effects are so good I cannot tell if a photo has been altered or enhanced. But if I like it, I like it. I decided to create a place where I could share them with other people. I should go on record saying - I think almost any kitten is a cute kitten, and I'm a sucker for a pretty flower. Oh, my name is BetteJo, I've been called a crazy cat lady, and I bead. Welcome!

Julian Beever is an English artist. This is some of his amazing work. All of these are done with chalk and are indeed, flat.

I am fascinated by crazy quilting.
It is a combination of quilting an
d embroidery
and has endless possibilities.


Look at all that goes into this. Ribbon
embroidery, beads, and more.




Buttons and lace.





It can be fun, or sweet, or even elegant.

I'm not a huge fan of iguanas, but the coloring on this one is really pretty!




Click to see this picture in it's large size. Pretty haunting.




These are some beautiful feet with henna artwork and jewelry. Stunning, aren't they?
