Craft Fair & A Collage Painting

I recently got into a small, local craft fair and cannot be more excited.  I finallyfinallyFINALLY applied for one and am so excited to get ready for it, set up my little booth space, etc etc etc.  It’s amazing how quickly it is coming together, once I actually got my act together.
I have been working [...]

Visual Journal

Remember these book covers I made?  Well I have been doing some work on the pages.  I only have one page finished so far (but a lot more in the works) so I thought I’d share a couple pictures of it… hopefully I’ll have more soon (I have this habit where I don’t finish things.  [...]

Inspiration Station #2

Collage

I have folders and folders on my computer of random pictures I’ve found online and saved… they’re all really random and I have absolutely no idea where I found any of them (which is why there’s no credit… if you know, let me know!)  They’ve just been sitting in these folders since I found them, [...]

Hello Grad School

This cake actually ended up being a lot better than I expected… yummy.

You like??  I’m a little too shy to post a picture of the entire thing.  It’s sweet/mushy soo… little snippets will have to do.  I like the [...]

Day 30!!!

For my LAST project (I know… I can’t believe I finished either!) I made a little book of ALL of the projects I did.  I didn’t want to photograph each page though… you’ve already seen the pictures… so instead I compiled all 30 images into a little collage.
I seriously cannot believe I did it, every [...]

Day 29

I’m having a REALLY good summer so I decided to do something to document it… sort of.  I want to remember how this summer felt, and I think these words will remind me of it.  Plus… it gave me an excuse to buy metallic silver sharpies.  I’m really into bright colors and black right now… [...]

Day 28

I took part of the painting from yesterday and made it into a collage.  Lately I’ve been wanting to work with rope and this is my first step towards doing that… we’ll just have to see where that goes.  I’m trying to get all caught up with my June posts… only two more after this!!  [...]
