Mixed Media: Superhero Glasses
I just picked up some 10 x 10 canvasses at Michael’s this week, and couldn’t wait to break into them. I started by covering the canvas with some different papers, book pages, and music sheets. Then I added some stamps and the beginnings of the face.
Mixed Media: Beautifully Unique
The mixed media picture I’ll show you today is a perfect example of if you don’t like it the first time, keep layering. I’ll show you what I mean. I started with a few papers over canvas. I’m using some of the house patterns from the books I bought at the library sale, some scrapbook [...]
Mixed Media: Not That Girl
Remember those canvases we talked about recently? I covered two different canvases with different but similar papers, and last week I showed you the first picture I did, and today I’ll show you the second. As you can see, both sets of canvases had some patterns, music papers, and pages from a book on palmistry. [...]

Last year I did a round up post of favorite writing moments from 2010, but I thought I would branch out and include other things in my wrap up for 2011. As you can see, I’m behind on that. That’s pretty much been the theme of 2011, though, so I suppose it’s fitting.
Glass Mushrooms
It’s winter, which means I can’t do my bigger glass sculptures because the smell and toxic-ness of the glue is too much to do in the house. So I’m experimenting. I’m trying to work on some smaller glass projects so I can use a different glue and do them in the house. Here’s the latest [...]
Keep an Eye Out for Someone Special
I got this fortune a while ago from a lunch date with my hubby, and it said “Keep an eye out for someone special.” I just loved this thought. I know, Chinese fortunes are dorky and made up, but I dig them anyways. You do too, right? Admit it!
