The 8×10 canvas board has had several lives, none of them pretty. So I keep covering them up and trying again.

This latest incarnation is in the style of Kelly Rae Roberts, well at least the background technique.


Susan Tuttle has a new book Exhibition 36: Mixed-Media Demonstrations + Explorations which you can find on Amazon here.

She is also giving away a copy on her blog so swing by and join in the fun …

I sent off more art to Somerset Memories in hopes of getting published again. This time it’s an altered book about my dad and his childhood.

Here’s a tiny sneak peek:


I finished my With One Image challenge and am ready to ship it to Somerset Memories for their consideration.

Cross your fingers for me!! I’d SO love to get published again!


I was shocked the other day when I was approving a couple of comments that I had 199 posts! I wanted to celebrate this occasion with a giveaway.

Remember this mixed-media collage…

It could be yours…

Just leave a comment and I’ll randomly choose a winner on Monday afternoon.



I finally bound some old tip-in and smaller size pages into one book this week.

I’m on a mission to finish all these UFO’s (unfinished objects) I’ve started somewhere along the line.

I was chatting with a neighbor just this evening over the bonfire about memory and lack thereof. Is it Adult-ADD or short-term memory loss but whatever you want to call it…I’ve got it!!! Geez… I can’t walk down the 2 sets of stairs to the basement and remember what the heck it was I went down there for!
OK…I think I’m on a tangent now….

My original point was…I have a ton of projects started or even nearly complete but never seem to tie up all my loose ends. THAT is my new mission.

With that said….haha…I have started a new project or more of a challenge. It’s a call for art from Somerset Memories magazine. It can be either a group or an individual using ONE IMAGE to create a multitude of art. Of course since it will be up for submission I won’t be showing what I’ve created until I’ve heard the news either way… I hope to get my projects in the mail next week for consideration.


Over the past few years I’ve been in a number of chunky book swaps that didn’t have enough players to make a truly “chunky” book. My friend Elizabeth came up with a great solution. Put them all together in one book with dividers separating each theme.

Here are the front and back covers for the book I’m putting together. Now I just need to gather my old swaps and figure out how many dividers I’ll need to make.
