Terrific In Tie Dye
There's something very special about a week long blast of all kinds of color! And that's what happens at the Annual Dyeing Days. Its a lotta work, acting like an old time washerwoman hauling buckets of water and rinsing, rinsing, rinsing.....but that comes after all...
Valentines at Chez Madames
I've talked before about my dear friend, known these days as Madame Bette, and her sisters (BonBon) Bertie and BonnieBelle. They run a Boarding House for Ladies, all of whom are, and have been, performers and entertainers in more than a few ways in their times. They...
Bathroom Blues
No, I don't mean the decor. I'm talking about that feeling you can get at three AM (or anytime at all) when you are ensconced on the porcelain throne and there's no toilet paper anywhere in sight. Its been years since I've had to look around for pages from the Sears...
Betty’s Big Top
Those rumors about yer old Aunt Acid running away to join the circus just aren't true. Its been a while since I posted last but it is in pursuit of showbiz dreams that don't involve near as much sawdust, though there are sequins aplenty. If I WERE going to spend a...
soup can
Some things simply don't come canned and condensed, and Aunt Acid's one of them--so's her 3 Mother's chicken soup, made using a blend of recipes from Chinese, Jewish and Hippy Earth Mothers. But it DOES make for a nice graphic and this one was for my 3d assignment in...

Aunt Acid’s Baby Book
aunt acid baby book Originally uploaded by sarajane helm What's "real" when it comes to art and Adobe Photoshop, or the life of a puppet? That's not a question that comes down to black and white, or even sepia tone! If there was a book about Aunt Acid's turn as a...
Aunt Nouveau
Aunt March Originally uploaded by sarajane helm Here's Aunt Acid in a Nouveau Arts sort of way! This was a fun assignment for part of my Adobe Illustrator class final project. It started with a photo for reference, but then I drew/created this image using the tools in...
Aunty Warhol
If Aunt Acid were to write a tell-all book about her life as a modern muse and spokesmodel, this might be it. Of course, she'd NEVER do that---there are some things a body just keeps to themselves, if they are honorable. And then there's the stories you tell at...
Aunt Acid’s Flower Power
April is always full of surprises, such as weather that can go from 15 inches of new snowfall to 80 degrees and balmy in just a day or two. Blossoms in the snow have been sighted recently. It's also yer auld Aunt Acid's birth month! Just a year ago, the wrappings came...
Everything’s Coming Up Aunty
Have you been wondering what yer old Aunt Acid's been up to lately? well, life's been busy as always. The gang is still renovating the theatre getting ready to Put On Shows and Friday nights are musicly hot at the Blue Swirl Bar and Grill. While waiting for the paint...
