The Heart and Soul of It

This week, I thought would share some images
from my studio. It is a busy time with lots of
neat little piles scattered about and creativity
pouring forth, as I am quite deep now, into
preparations for teaching and vending at Artfest.
I am so excited to be bringing a few nest shadow
boxes to sell. I love constructing assemblages,
and working with natural materials always inspires
my imagination. Each piece holds such a tender
place in my heart.







I have been gathering lots of goodies for my
workshop students. Giving out beautiful collaged
folders is a great way to start each class.

I finally have the opportunity to use the lush
rust and patina metal backgrounds I shared
back in this post, by making some incredible
nature collages. I can hardly wait to debut
these original artworks on vendor night.




The days are sunny and warm, here upon the Plains,
and the musical sounds of this, this, and this are lacing
through my head as I work.
