    It’s happening again

    My art ADD has come back in full force.  I have many different projects all in progress at the same time and in the same small space.

    I’m reworking a canvas as another edition of my friend Sandy’s poem.

    I finished a couple of crochet dishcloths this week. Neither one is perfect by an stretch of the imagination but I’m fine with that.

    Journal page in progress. I’m trying to remember to leave this free of bulking embellishments as this spiral journal is filling fast and the pages will soon not turn on the tiny spiral if I keep up with the bulk.

    In the past week I sold 3 pieces of terrain. I’m thrilled! It has inspired me to make more. I’ve been priming and trying out different combinations for my recycled pieces.

    As well as playing around with foam and a plastic bottle. I love the challenge of making something out of nothing.  I’m hoping that this will look like a crashed vessel that has weathered over time.

    See what I mean…all over the place! My mind is going this way and that. So many ideas, so little time and space.

    Sweet Season

    20130406_1706After our snow yesterday…yes you read that correctly…snow on April 5th, I guess I wanted to remind myself that a new season is actually upon us.

    It is Spring according to the calendar and before we know it, the weather will be hot and humid.

    When I started this journal page I had no idea where it was going. 20130406_1705

    I spread my super thin, lame gesso over the pages in my Watkins cookbook journal then kept adding layers of paint and stamping.

    Next I wanted to try out some molding paste applied through a stencil…a technique I’ve seen several times on YouTube videos. I love the texture it adds. I’ll definitely be trying that one again!20130406_1708

    I used water and walnut ink to age this library card which is placed on top of a bit of a forest scene magazine page. Love it when things like that work out.

    Still looking for more texture I glued down a bit of flower trim.

    I am incredibly happy with 20130406_1704the way this one turned out.

    And look..the sun is even shiny bright today promising that the Season is actually changing.
