Fabric collage


I"m taking an online course right now at My Creative Classroom called "Exploring Mixed Media" that is taught by Shirley Pando. Our first assignment was to do a fabric collage. I was nervous at first because I've never used fabric before in a collage but found I really like using it (oh great, a new thing for me to get addicted to :) I mounted this on a cardboard stand and am going to put it by my bedside!

Four seasons mixed media canvases





I made these 4 canvases representing all the seasons as an entry for an art auction at my husband's employer, St. Vincent Healthcare Center, to benefit the American Heart Association.

Christmas in July




I'm a little late in posting these! Every July I get Christmas fever and make something "christmasy"! This year the mood to make Christmas cards hit me!

Brave girls

I found this awesome new site called "Brave girls club" recently. Here is a short poem I found there that really spoke to me:
She was an artist.
She decided to try new things.
She could see the possibilities.
She let her inner artist explore.
She decided to let go.
She started to grow.
She let her hair down.
She decided to create art.

Valentine


This is a valentine I made for my husband on a ceramic tile. I used all kinds of mixed media techniques with it. The little heart is chipboard underneath! I used plaster strips over it, let it dry and then painted it.

"home" display


This is a photo display case sold by 7 gypsies that I embellished and hung in my art room!

Vintage receipt holder
