Guilty Pleasures


I thought I'd show you what I ended up with for my "Guilty Pleasures" challenge in our Art Challenge Group.  We met last Friday night where everyone had some type of artistic rendition of their personal guilty pleasures.  Mine are champagne, chocolate and photography so I photographed those three together and then did some artistic manipulation with the photo.  I framed it  and it is now hanging in my kitchen.


We were all "wowed" by Jim's hand made cigar box guitar.  Jim collects guitars so that was his guilty pleasure.  He created a cigar box guitar that actually plays so, for the first time at one of our club meetings, we had a little live music too.

Our next challenge is "fluorescent paint".   I'll have to think about that one for a while.

    I'm not sure I'd call photography or guitars a "guilty" pleasure. Why be guilty? :) I do like your photo, though!

    Love your photo, good idea to frame it and hang it too!

    Not bad, but can I replace chocolate with anything salty?

    Why do I think that I have seen that picture before?
    Oh, yeah, I have seen it before, in an email and on flickr.

    There is no problem in life that can't be solved with chocolate.*



    *except of course if you have a deathly allergy to chocolate. In which case, poor you, that's a fate worse than death.

    I'm like Birdman and would probably replace the chocolate with potato chips which I never buy because I would eat them all at once. Love your shot, Sharon!

    I think that you hang out with some gifted people. I share most of your guilty pleasures, but substitute wine.

    I think I share your three guilty pleasures, friend.

    Nothing wrong with those pleasures, Sharon. Nicely captured and transformed. And your friend's cigar box guitar is pretty cool. I hate people with talent like that.
