And yet another piece…and so many half finished ones that will be added soon. I love the colours on this. It started of as an experiment in colour and technique. We all have stories, the ones we tell to other people, and the ones we tell to ourselves and I was thinking of those stories [...]

Here is another piece….I love this. It was such a learning experience for me. I made a plaster heart by myself, for the first time! I played one night and made a wire heart and I love them on the piece along with the collage/painted heart. I used a whole lot of gel medium to [...]

I laughed with this. And then thought…what on earth will I do…. And then I just started. Wanted to go for an older kind of looking page. So pale blue gingham and dots, all dirtied up. And then while I was channeling corned beef, I thought about mustard sauce….and so I quickly painted a plate [...]

The page has “Little Lady Make Believe” on it. It was hard to get going on this page. I didn’t know what to do and decided I was just overthinking it so I did one thing that led to another thing…against using left over paint, and in this case left over stamp images (I had [...]

This was probably the hardest one. I have about five half complete self portraits in my journal. I was going to finish one, but didn’t feel up to it. And so I thought I would just throw down some collage for today. Finish it later. Using bits I had left over and lying around I [...]
