New Collage

I lost a nephew about a year ago, he was so young. His sister (my niece) asked me to make a collage for her to remember him. This is the result of that request.

Remember, EVERY DAY is precious, hold on to those you love...

Dragonfly

This is a page layout from the latest Compendium of Curiosities Challenge. The original poem was written by David Wood.

A painting is a poem without words...

I found this quote today on Facebook, and I started thinking... Why do we create? I'd love YOUR thoughts on the subject, and I may add a few of my own...

Forest

Sometimes... I wonder if I like the idea of forests in my artwork because I live in a desert, longing for cooler weather, the wind in the trees. I must write a poem about the trees...

Here is one of my favorite forest drawings...

Inspired by a photo by D. Sharon Pruitt

Challenge

A beach themed card...

Things with Wings

This is one of my favorite mixed media collages titled: Wings of Love.

Surf's Up!

Surf's Up! I am also including pictures of the Compendium of Curiosities Journal I started the first week of the challenge. Every week I include the image (if it doesn't fit I print a photo), week number, and page number. When the challenge is over and every page is filled, I'll use some of the new techniques to decorate the cover. ENJOY!

1909 Family Photo

This is a photo of my grandfather, his sister and brother taken in 1909. Amazing to think this photo is over 100 years old.

Altered Box

I've had these little boxes for a few years now and never really did much with them. Well that changed yesterday when I was looking for something to alter with paper per the challenge. First altered box titled "Travel". Second altered box titled "Treasure".

Mysty

Two more forests done... Here's a sneak peek! You can purchase (for a resonable rate) at Evermore Nevermore: the COOLEST store in Mesa!

1912 German Postcard

I was antique shopping in Carefree/Cavecreek a week ago and found this lovely postcard dated 1912! Thought I'd make a precious collage or a set of greeting cards using this image. So sweet, so pretty... There's a canceled one cent stamp and a lovely birthday greeting on the back, one cent? Can you believe it?
