    Poetry Canvas #2

    20130609_2202My friend Sandy asked if I’d do another canvas featuring her published poem. She wanted to give it to her mom who encouraged her to enter the contest in the first place.

    I reworked a previous canvas that never felt quite done to me.

    Sandy’s words in addition to the changes have now made this a completed work.

    The cursed journal

    20130605_2196

    My bad mojo with this journal continues.

    I can’t say that I hate these pages but they are definitely not my favorites. 20130606_2198

    I’m playing with different styles, mediums, colors and textures.

    I do know that I am learning through my process but sometimes I think I should just gesso over the whole works and start again.

    However, I must say that there are areas of each of the pages that I really like…just not so much the pages as a whole.

    Plant Markers

    plant markersI finally got around to making the plant markers that I’ve been thinking about since last Fall.  They are just so darn cute!!

    UPDATE:  I really should have explained what I did with these. Everyone is asking so…

    I dipped the spoons in ordinary black craft paint and hung them to dry. I used a white colored pencil to write on them. It’s currently raining…so far so good on it not washing off. Only time will tell. If it’s a grand fail I’ll let you all know in a new post. 🙂
