Extra, extra, read all about it!! The Gauche Girls Open Up!...
If you've stopped by the Gauche Alchemy blog today, you'll see that a brand-spanking new team has been announced, and in honor of that, all the Gauche Girls are Opening Up. How easy are we...to figure out that is! If you haven't started at the beginning of our hop, hop on back to the Gauche Blog and start in the fun there. There are RAKs up for grabs along the hop, so make sure you comment on each Gauche Girls blog for a chance to win some serious yumminess.
Now for the fun part: Each of us Gauche Girls have chosen a word that best describes why we're so Gauche! Honey, this is where you need to work it a little! Here's what you do: Find all the words and which hoppin' hunny they belong to, head back to the GA Blog & post a comment with your answers - if you get it right, you get a shot at a kick-ass prize pack from The Head Honchettes themselves! See, it's EASY. If you have already started on the hop you should have come from Nicole's Bloggity Blog.
I love the sauce ... but some would say I'm also a bit saucy ...moi? (pssst saucy is the secret word, yo....)
I used a file folder as the background, painted the front with acrylic, threw on a coffee filter and screen from the Wholey Sheets kit and used some Punchinella as stencil all from the ArtFire Store. Put on some lovely Muse lyrics and a photo from a Steampunk "Mechanical Masquerade" party ... and there you have it!
Leave a comment on my blog and I'll pick a winner by random and send you a little mixed media kit of some of my favorite things :)
Now shake your tail feathers all the way to Amy's Blog and stare at some more Gauchy Goodness and get to know the rest of the team, since I've OPENED UP to you already *wink*
Lara, you are my art journal goddess. You are just so incredibly amazing, girl!
I hope that my art journals look even just half as lovely as yours someday.
It has been such a pleasure to work with you and I'll forever be grateful for your friendship. Hope that we can work together again someday. =)
P.S. Oh and I have to bug you about announcing the winners from the past National Craft Month RAKs. =)
*hugs*

This is so freaking cool, Lara. I'm a big steampunk fan, so it took me a second to get past ogling over that awesome photo, but the entire project is simply amazing. Can't wait to get to know more about you and your art as we create with the GA team! ~Angela~

Lara,
You rock my socks off. I said it when I interviewed you. I said it when you came on as Captain. And I'm saying it again - HOLY SHIT!
You are the master at art journalling.
In this piece, I especially love your use of yellow.
It's a pleasure working along side you. Glad we are getting this time to play in the same space.
Lara, that photo is freakin' AWESOME! And using a file folder as your background - the most mundane things can be so awesome when used for art, ya know? Great idea!
I adore working with you. Thanks for being such a gorgeous and talented Alchemy Captain.
