The mortgage is due.  There is an issue with the insurance company that I need to follow up on.  The garden needs to be shut down for winter.  Lots of cleaning should be done.  What did I do? None of that! I got out my Gelli Plate.  Once it was out of the plastic [...]

I am happy- there is paint on my fingers! Every so often my muse takes long vacations away from me so I work on the mundane parts of art then.  Here is a piece of rosin paper (big cheap roll from the hardware store!) with tags gesso’d on.  I have sheets of these I made [...]

There is something to learn in every piece I create- especially the ones I struggle with.  I debated posting this one but since I was on a deadline – I posted it, fear and all with that knot in my stomach.  When I went to sleep I was in full doubt mode.  Ever been there?  [...]

It has been an insane couple of weeks.  Big projects and deadlines in what felt like every aspect of my life.   Good things but stressful things.  I finally found some time to just play in the studio.  While making this page I was reminded over and over of how the support of kind friends made [...]

I am still feeling the influence of the first Fall Fearless and Fly challenge, as you can see from my color palette! I love challenges because I get to see how different artists interpret the same prompts.  Want to play?  There is still plenty of time for you to join us!   The seed that [...]

Today Fall Fearless and Fly begins!   I’m showing you a few sneak peeks of what I’ve made for the first challenge – stop over at Artists in Blogland to see the prompt, my video, and what Jessica Sporn created for this first challenge!  I feel so blessed to be co-hosting this challenge!  There is an [...]

Playing around,  but with a twist – I went very basic on this and I like it!  No stencils, no writing, no images.  Such a weird feeling not to have text on there- anywhere.  At first I thought it  wasn’t finished but once I realized it was an ode to the gobstoppers of summers at [...]

My art is like a photo of my soul at that moment.  I have been blessed to spend time with dear friends so my soul is just happy!  My mind is stressed from catching up but my soul is happy.   This page is all the leftovers.  I spray inked a bunch of die cuts [...]
