    Another flower

    August 7, 2008 - By 

    Lately I’m all about the flowers.
    Not sure why but they seem to show up in everything I do.
    I’ve also noticed that I’m using lots of geometric shapes.
    Circles and squares mostly.

    This is on a 8×8 deep edge canvas. The edges have torn book pages around them then were washed with the same green as the polka dots on the front.

    There are several layers of paint and papers on the background that most likely show much better in real life than the scan. The flower is cut from pages I’ve been tearing from my altered scrapbook.

    Anniversary Circle book complete

    July 26, 2008 - By 

    Quite a while back I showed my circle for the anniversary swap on ABC.

    Here’s my completed book.

    I used CD’s that had been sitting in my UFO (unfinished object) bin forever.
    They were colored on both side by pouring blue and green metallic inks on then swirling a bit.
    The black swirls are two different rubber stamps and plain old dye-based ink.

    Coffee pages

    July 21, 2008 - By 




    I decided to drag out my coffee themed altered book over the weekend to try and get a few more pages done.

    Here’s what I came up with…

    When I decided to do this book I thought it would be a breeze.

    I LOVE COFFEE. How hard could it be, right?!?

    Apparently I like drinking my coffee, not creating art about it.
