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.

Healing

Healing takes time.

Healing takes energy.

I am healing.

When I'm better, I'll be stronger, better, faster, and I'll post more.

Be creative!  Be kind to one another.  Be there for a friend in your area, like so many friends have been here for me...

Chat again very soon!

I posted this mixed media collage a week or two ago, now everyone wants one, luckily I am holding "four of a kind", I have ALL the aces and I'm really excited to make and post photos of the rest of the collages!  Check back for more Marilyn collages this week!

Well hello!

It's been a while since I've posted on my art blog.  I'm busy with school and creating some new things for you all to see!  One of my favorite projects this summer has been my "Finding Fairy Jars" inspired by my grand daughters; Callyn, Clarah, and Mikayla.  Here's Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring!

Pink Lemonade Lip Gloss

Pink Lemonade Lip Gloss

I feel the hot dusty wind in my hair

as I ride my shiny red bike

to the corner drugstore

I browse through the latest 45 records

and remember

sun-filled younger days playing jump rope and jacks

Grade school friends

enjoying 35 cent cafeteria lunches

and 50 cent Saturday matinees

The counter feels smooth and cool

as I pull an ice cold vanilla shake through my

red and white striped straw

My prized Pink Lemonade Lip Gloss

 in a small paper bag I hold

close by my side

Grungy Monday Challenge

Linda Ledbetter invited me to be a guest designer for a challenge on her Studio L3 blog. My task was to create something using a technique designed by Tim Holtz. His design is from the 12 Tags of Christmas 2009. You can visit his blog here: www.timholtz.typepad.com. If you are not familiar with Tim Holtz, you should be, he's an amazing artist/designer/writer/businessman with some of the best craft products on the planet. I'm in a group of over 2,500 artists called All Things Tim. Here's the link: groups.yahoo.com/group/allthingstim

Here is my design ~ A little book of Butterflies using layered papers, collage techniques, metals, embossing powders, stamping, ribbons, and a dash of inspiration. I chose Butterflies, red, black and brass.

Please visit Inge Bekaert's awesome blog. Inge is also a guest designer this week. http://web.me.com/pinkepinke/pinkepinke/Blog/Blog.html

Linda Ledbetter hosts the most amazing challenges, you can visit her blog here: www.studioL3.com

The best part about some of the challenges I've been participating in, is cost effectiveness. If you don't have the exact supplies, it's okay to make substitutions. You are not required to use the exact stamps or papers or bling suggested by the challenge coordinators or designers. Use the supplies you have, try to achieve the same look. Put your own 'spin' on it, think out of the box! Be yourself! Be creative!

Thank you for stopping by ~ have a creative day!
