I’ve been enjoying time spent creating collage, using my art supplies in a different way,  with my paints, papers and sewing machine all in use.  This first collage is to go with the ice cream cone collage, featured in my … Continue reading →

I’ve been wanting to create more collages on wrapped canvas- so yesterday I created this 12″W x 18″H  x .75″D collage using 19th century newspaper and advertisements (thank you Lee Kirk!), one piece of napkin image at the base,  acrylic … Continue reading →

Here is another of my ‘book art dolls’.  I’m in an aqua mood these days (kitchen is black/white/gray with accents of aqua, red and yellow.) This gal hangs in the archway between our kitchen and dining room.  Enjoy! To see … Continue reading →

More of my doodling- which I call doodangles (kind of like doodads and zentangles combined).   This flower design comes from a 1974 book with needlepoint designs.  I ‘just happened’ to have an office envelope full of unused carbon paper- it … Continue reading →

I knew my ‘page-a-day’ work in my Codes and Ciphers altered book would not last- but I periodically do a few pages when I’m not in a mood for anything else.  I have uploaded six new pages to THIS ALBUM. … Continue reading →

This is my 2-page spread for Margie’s book- the theme was secrets, mystery, etc. I based this on 103-year-old girls’ book “Dorothy Dale’s Great Secret” – and used the old linen book cover, which I stripped from the book.  I … Continue reading →

I spent most of today cleaning out ‘stuff’ around the house and in my studio – I even managed to consolidate and get a few more things ready to gift away. During the clean-up, I decided to make a couple … Continue reading →

I’ve completed this beeswax collage-covered journal- the front cover is wax collage- the back cover is lokta paper with collage.  There are 16 signatures, with six single pages in each signature.  The paper is Canson 100# watercolor paper, hand torn.  … Continue reading →

I’m creating a journal called Paris Gazette.  It has a beeswax collage cover, but is not finished yet.  I decided to create a little beaded art doll to go with the journal, which has the same fabric in it. Her … Continue reading →

I just wanted to share a couple pictures of our wonderful adopted cat, Chance, who was lovingly delivered to us IN PERSON by the amazing dog rescuer Bernie Berlin, of A Place To Bark.  He was 5 in August. Chance … Continue reading →

I ‘creARTed’ this book sculpture on a whim last night.  It’s an old thin book that I completely wrapped in glittery heat fusible plastic of red, orange, fuschia and blue, heated with my heat gun, then added tons of clear … Continue reading →

Yes- this is recess! – having fun, playing, using imagination and generally just vacating the ‘classroom’. This canvas is 42″H x 18″W.  I continue to want to “creART” by using up supplies I have on hand, which included this large … Continue reading →

This altered book spread is for Rebecca’s book – the theme is anything with ‘Wings’. In keeping with my desire to use supplies I already have, I used some fabric I’d used in another AB Spread awhile ago.  This time, … Continue reading →

This is my altered book spread for Stephanie’s book in the Honolulu AB Round Robin.  Her theme is…”Alphabetica” .  I love Lynne Perrella’s book of that name, and was thrilled when I took an art class from her at Art … Continue reading →

This altered book spread is for ‘Stardust’.

I  get the coolest lamp-worked glass beads from Pam Brisse of The Blue Between.  One recently purchased bead, which is 1.5″ in diameter, inspired me to make this journal – ‘Sea Treasure’.  The cover is thick aluminum paper, more like … Continue reading →

First up is “Stardust” – I was inspired by a cool galactic photo I saw on Facebook, and made this journal with that in mind.  The cover is made with alcohol inks on shiny silver card stock, then layered with … Continue reading →

I’ve been working on a journal all week- this is the third incarnation…sighhhh.  I’ve been trying to use up supplies on hand, so first I worked a cover in this air-drying clay stuff I had- not the puffy Crayola brand … Continue reading →

I haven’t made my colorful beads in awhile, so sat down last night and made this 2.75″ long Glitz-Oh! bead.  This morning I made this necklace, using the bead as focal point.  The ‘necklace’ part is simple black silk ribbon.  … Continue reading →
