Tattered Lace Mixed Media Collages

Altered Artwork ~ Collaboration with Joanna Grant and Judy Wood

This week I had the opportunity to collaborate with an artist friend who lives in Canada!  We exchanged artwork and altered each others piece. 

Check out her blog at http://joannabananadesignoriginals.blogspot.com/

Joanna uses a variety of collage methods and Gelli prints.

To alter her piece, I used tissue paper, matte medium, acrylic paint, and a Sharpie marker. 

Thanks Joanna!  That was fun!  Let's do this again soon! 

Rose Petals

ROSE PETALS

The ginger haired bride looks

stately and stunning

all dressed in white lace

The crowd stands

as she enters the room

I feel the music

and count my steps

as the aroma of roses and vanilla

fills the air

I softly drop

pink and white rose petals

and wait

Vows are spoken

in hushed tones

I stand so still

in my shiny white shoes

trying not to fidget

I look down at my basket

and see more petals

The music begins again

a joyful tune

It’s my time to shine

big brown eyes

effervescent smile

In one expressive moment

I toss hands full of petals

high in the air

The crowd of onlookers

giggles softly

I walk proudly to the door

turn and curtsey

as the bride winks, smiles

then kisses me

on the top of my head

Dreams Gallery

I have been invited to show my artwork at Dreams Gallery in Old Town Scottsdale, Arizona.

7077 E. Main Suite 13 (Corner of Main and Marshall Way)

I have been creating mixed media trees and forests, all with my six word micro poems as titles.

This mixed media piece was a commissioned 16x20.
