Early Morning Thoughts

New pieces of art

It feels like forever, since I have been able to work in my studio for any length of time. I decided to turn my phone off and close my doors and just have fun and see where it takes me.

Since the holiday season, I have been getting requests to create more angel ornaments.  With that in mind, I decided to change it up a little and create something different this time.  I recently came across some vintage bisque legs and felt that these girls were perfect for them.  

My next pieces, are assemblage pieces of art.  I taught a class back in 2017 in how to create something similar to these. Each time that I create one, I fall in love with them all over again.  

 

Lots of time and hours go into creating them, but it is worth each minute.  The second one, “my storybook princess doll book has a small journal on the backside of her. If you would like to see more images of my pieces of art, I have listed the link below to my website.

Seeker

My newest book, Seeker! 

It's been a while since I have posted here.  With all of the social media platforms out there, it seems that from time to time, one of them falls short and mine seems to be my blog.  On my list of accomplishing things this year, I hope to be able to post more on my social media sites.  Trying to find that balance between creating, filming and posting can be a challenge for many of us artists, but one that I will continue to work on.

Here are some of the photos from this sweet beauty.  I have uploaded a post on my Instagram, where you can view more of this book. Link is listed below photos.

Newest online class just released...

                                Timeless handmade cards/gifts

This has been a year of many roads. One being asked where did my art start from. What type of art did I create in the beginning.

Over 30 yrs ago, I made handmade cards and donated them to a local hospital, where they would give them to patients that didn't have visitors, was a way for me to give back to our community.

I thought that this would make a fun class just in time for the holidays. A fun project to do with the kids, family members or friends. A time to bring together others and create fun and lasting memories.

 

I am offering a discount on this class, information down below.  Please remember to put in the discount code to get the discount, otherwise you will charged full price of the class. Paypal charges a fee to me, to refund money and this fee will be deducted from your amount of refund.

A sacred place

 

I love creating books that evoke an emotion within me that captures a moment, memories, an event or tells a story.  A piece that craves for you to come back to it again and again just to revisit that memory.

In this class, I will discuss and walk you through the steps on how I created a fabric book cover using old vintage materials. I will then show you how I sewed my pages into the fabric cover and continue with discussing and showing you how I painted and enhanced my pages with papers, paints, inks, words, etc.

 If you are wanting to learn my method of how I do my eco-dyed papers, tissues and fabrics, to visit my Youtube channel. The eco-dyed papers used in this class are from this method.

I have also added a bonus book "sacred stories" to this online class.  I show how I created a different version of this book using the techniques from this class.  I discuss my pages and how I brought them together with the techniques that I created onto them. I do not show you step by step how I painted the pages in this additional bonus book, but I do discuss how and the supplies that I used to create them.

In this class, I will show and discuss with you, different samples that came from using the techniques shown in this class, but how each one has it own unique look to it. That by changing up the size, focal point, themes, colors, etc., that you could continuously create books and each one be unique.

There are over 4 hrs of videos, for this class.

The bezel on the front cover of one of my sample books within this class is not part of this class.  I do teach how to make these types of bezels, in my online class; One of a kind bezels.

Newest book...

This book is a reflection of some of my walks in nature. I have either shared words, messages, images or paintings that reflection how I choose to live my life each day. 

I have left different areas blank or with some type of art form on them, to allow you to record your thoughts, visions, dreams, messages, photos, etc onto them. 

This is one of my more heavier books and it such a beauty.  I really had to constrain myself from adding more and filling up the pages. 

I believe that everywhere we go in this world, each step we take, leaves bits and pieces of our fragrance behind.  My books and art pieces are part of this for me. ❤️

Shown below are some of the pages from this book.  To see more, click on the link below to my website;

                                                                                                                 Soulful moments

My newest online class that I have just released.

Within the layers of my book, are pieces of my journey.  I show and discuss how I am willing to lose and find my voice within the piece.  I show how I work with images and papers, to further enhance my message or story.

In this course, I discuss and show how I work with recycled cardboard, old and vintage papers, inks, paints, pencils and images.  I show how I come into my studio with a mind set of having fun, willing to try and explore different techniques and not worry about the outcome.  How I overcome road blocks, that allow my creativity to keep flowing. How to take pieces of fabrics, papers, paints, words and other elements and bring them together in the form of a book, to reflect my story or message.  

This class has over 2 1/2 hrs of video instruction. 

The class price is, $47.00

You can find this class listed on the sidebar.

I wish you...

Hope

Love

Joy

Peace

Moments to remember

 

A sweet beauty that came out of my studio this month.  I created a metal frame that allows you to interchange mini pieces, depending on what your journey, vision, thoughts, etc. are for that moment. ❤️

Early Morning Thoughts...my random wanderings

My newest book from my studio this week. 

I find that it's in the early mornings when the world hasn't fully come alive, where I am free from distractions before the day begins, that new ideas, new possibilities and creativity comes alive.  Where I am able to fully absorb the blessing of the new day and what it has to hold. 

It's in these early mornings, that has me longing to create the beauty that I find within this world.
