LENNA AND ME

Here is a visual journey of my altered book with my dear friend Lenna that we have been working on for the last two years! Lenna has finished my book, and I have yet to finish hers. I hope you enjoy seeing my book pages here done by both of us....this was a fabulous project and I have to thank Lenna with all my heart for being so patient, and for opening up this incredible world of mixed media ART to me a while back.

I have been sick for the past week, and am now trying to play catch up for a big jewelry showing this weekend.
I hope you enjoyed seeing this as much as I enjoyed creating!
Thanks for your visits and comments, they mean the world to me!

SHABBY JOURNAL

Here is a little shabby journal page that I did for a group swap last month, the theme being hearts. I always love the Paper Whimsy images, they easily work together with my imagination. The stamp is from Invoke Arts, I bought a long time ago, also probably my favorite sentiment.
I have been struggling with a nasty cold, sore throat this week, so apologies if I have not been around to visit.

Thanks for visiting and your lovely comments.

NIRVANA

There is just something about turquoise that I have always loved, in every form and color. It's richness and intensity alone makes me feel so good. The fact that these stones come from the ground makes me feel so connected to the earth as a whole, one soul, and it begs me to create with it. I put that together with some other favorite components of mine, and it's like a little bit of heaven.

Wishing everyone a great week ahead, and thank you for visiting !

Nirvana and Bliss are available on etsy here

BLESSED

I am once again blessed and honored to be included in the Spring issue of the fantastic Belle Armoire Jewelry magazine! My fabric pouches are featured in "The Art of Presentation" section, with a lovely interview by the amazing editor herself, Cynthia Levens. Every bit of this article speaks volumes to me not only of my own growth but that of the amazing jewelry artist community that I am blessed to be included in.
These small pouches have become a bit of a special obsession with me. I get to use the bits and pieces of vintage treasures that I collect and make them into something that I can wrap another treasure in. Each one will always be different, just like my jewelry. Each one directs itself.
Thank you to Cynthia, Belle Armoire, and every person that visits my blog and every blogger I know. You have, and continue to inspire me and help me grow as an artist, and I am forever grateful. I will never be able to say that enough!

GLORIOUS

All of this, and so much more, I found in this humble box at the flea market on Sunday! Oh, just imagine....

I am overwhelmed and still taking time to take it all in.

Oh, just imagine the places I will go.

Thanks for visiting.

HOLLYWOOD

I'm having fun lately working with my vintage finds and feeling all romantic. I often dream of living in the era of night club lounges, being dressed to the nines, big band music, and Cary Grant! How about you?

Thanks for visiting ....I appreciate it so much!
