    Altered Puzzle piece

    August 10, 2011 - By 
    Finished another one and popped it in the mailbox yesterday.
    One of the postmen said he gets a kick out of the mail art and postcards I send and receive.
    He asked me about the postcards one day when I was mailing a very boring package.
    I had no idea they paid that much attention!
    Fun to know that mail art not only brightens the recipients day but the postal workers day as well.

    UFO’s–finished

    July 20, 2011 - By 

    Since we’ve been pretty much stuck in the house lately I’ve been exercising my creative side by attempting to finish some UFO’s…unfinished objects.

    I have a stack of these type of projects. Some just have a background finished. Others are a train wreck and are in need of a do-over.

    This small canvas board was one of those. Whoa! You can’t even imagine how ugly the background on this baby was. I didn’t take a before picture…it was too awful.  Now I happen to like it.

    This puzzle piece was another that had been abandoned sometime last fall when I ran out of steam after gluing papers to the backs of a dozen or so pieces.  I used my scrap bucket for most of this one.

    I’m also working on a mixed-media painting. So far I’m just layering and layering…no photos yet.

    Book Box

    May 29, 2011 - By 

    I can not take any sort of credit for this box…none at all. Yes, I did technically make it but I used Kimmie’s instructions to create it.
    I decided I needed something to hold notepaper. The kids keep taking my notepads but for some reason they only seem to like blank papers.
    Since the end of the school year is rapidly approaching, I’m starting to clear out all those saved papers. Spelling tests, one sided worksheets, junk mail flyers..you get the picture. A seemingly endless supply of paper. I might as well write notes on them before they hit the recycle bin.
