Ganesha stamp collage time capsule

I made a little time capsule for the back of the Ganesha.  I put a couple of envelopes from the original stamp collection along with some cards talking about who made it and who collected the stamps.  Thank you Mrs. Alice Miller, without you this project could not have happened.  I'm hoping that this piece will last long enough for it to be interesting to someone someday.  One of the envelopes has a 1965 cancellation, so the collection is already fifty years old.

gelli print collage

This is my first square or canvas I finished today.  So excited to have the ice broken on the creativity front. Who wants to start the New Year blocked?  I have not been blocked at all, as a matter of fact, I brought in the new year working on this piece.  My favorite thing to do in this world.  Art!

I used gelli prints on deli paper to collage the background with matte medium then added a block print.  Finished it off with gold gel pen and a swirly stencil.  I'm going to make at least four of these for my bedroom, maybe six.  They are going to look cool with the original kuba cloth collage I did for over the bed.

I found some great lamps at Tuesday morning for the nightstands.  Can't wait to see it all come together!  I will post pictures when it is all done!

Happy Birthday Elvis!

Happy Birthday E.

flower mandala waxed

I really like this waxed.  Smells good too.

I've scratched off most the glitter on this project. I walk by it fifteen times a day. Love it now. Before it was WAY TOO MUCH. What can I say. I had just scored Martha's 24 glitter pack.

Started working on the background. The lilacs are slow going. Using my watercolor pencils.

Painted the ball jar on some water color paper. Still deciding on what to do with my background.
