Creative Therapy

I’m a true believer that art can be a great form of therapy. It has always been a safe haven for me. And so, when I was asked to join a design team of creative bloggers who would work on weekly journal prompts I heartily jumped in! I am now a proud member of the [...]

Holiday gifts

Thank you all for your comments about my fun girls’ weekend with Angie. We really did have an awesome time.
Since I’ve been back, I’ve been working hard on some gifts I’m making this year. The first, which is finished, I completed yesterday. It’s a cellphone pouch and a bookmark. Both are quilted and collaged with [...]

Art Journaling

This week I had some bad health stuff going on. I spent most of my days in the den reading and watching bad TV, but I’m finally back in the studio.While reading and watching the bad TV, I also did some doodling in a calendar journal for the round robin I’m in. I was happy [...]

Art, as promised!

This week, while I was recovering, I regrouped much faster than I anticipated. This was good news, because this weekend Art Unraveled starts. And Tracey and Andrea are all coming into town to play! We are all having dinner tonight and Angie will join us.
In other news, I think I mentioned that I’m going to [...]

Feeling artistic

I’m feeling a lot more artistic today than I was last evening. I have spent the morning working on my projects for the mixed media for fabric class with Joggles. On this Thursday, my class will have its last session, so I wanted to try to get some work done on it before then.
But first [...]

A week of art and adventure…

I’ve been busy this week. I’m sorry I have neglected my blog.
On Monday, my husband had hernia surgery. He’s fine. He’s recovered quickly, and is a fairly easy patient. I’m lucky, as I know many men turn into babies when they are ill. Dave is a trooper, and, though I’ve been helping him frequently, I [...]

Art Class at Fran’s

Well, let’s see. The last time I posted was on Thursday. Thursday evening, we met our friends at Chili’s for dinner. Jeff and Kiran have three kids: Julie -11, Miranda - 8, and Cody - 4. It was great to see them! I’ve known Jeff almost as long as I’ve known Dave, since he [...]

New things at etsy

It’s Friday and I’m so excited to let you all know that i have listed some more of my art in my Etsy Shop. Here’s what you’ll find:

This is a mixed media collage using laser copies of hand-decorated papers and various acrylic media on canvas. It is 5″ x 5″ on gallery wrapped canvas. This [...]

quick update

I’m still rather weak, but I’m starting to come back to life here. I was actually able to sit in the studio for a few hours this morning and I did some journaling until the exhaustion hit again… I had this picture in my head of a line drawing with text around it. I started [...]

Thursday was a fun day; Friday was recovery, tea-time and art

On Thursday, after I posted, I left to meet Angie for a day of fun. We started off our morning at Starbucks (as usual) and then went to Hancock Fabrics, which was going out of business. Bad news for them. Good news for us! We cleaned out the Sulky threads and found some cool fabric [...]
