Teaching at the Elliot School

EXCITING NEWS
I will be teaching at the Elliot School in Jamaica Plain, MA on July 30th and August 6th, as part of their Green Craft program this summer. My class "Papermaking Art from Recycled Materials" will be a two part class. The first class we will make paper from junk mail, paper tube rolls and discarded paper. Then the second class I will have a display of artwork using the paper and begin our projects from first weeks class! I am very excited about this and hope you can join me.

AWAKEjoy

This was a present for my husband. There is a picture of us from 20 years ago. After being married for 16 years we need to be reminded of the things that "awake the joy" in our lives.
I hope you find your joy...

Missing

If you look on the branch you will see a brown cord that was holding one of the two odd pages. I will incorporate it in the Part 2 of the Disintegration Project hosed by Seth APter.
Keep in tune and check out all the links on his sidebar.

disintegration collaboration - after

After snow, cold, high winds, rain, heat and other natural going ons the unveiling of my disintegration project is completed. Observing the many other collaborators, I decided to add midway some used steel wool to add some rusty goodness. Although the changes are subtle there are definately changes.



I am eager to see where all this takes us on a journey of disintegration. Seth at the Altered Page has come up with this project so check out his blog to read about the beginning. Enjoy and I will keep you updated.

Spring is coming, No doubt...

I have been busy working on a new website for N-M letters. The are many things to think about when creating a website, first and foremost what do you want to say...

Which makes me want to revamp my own website, so what do I want to say...

Today was a slow, resting day at home with my daughter. To think about all to come...

Little changes everyday

the creativity inside us

I came across this video on Vivian Bonder's blog. I am reading Elizabeth Gilbert's book "eat pray love" right now and feel whenever blog surfing what is meant to come into my world does. I am thinking along these lines of purpose in our life. Take some time (20 minutes) to watch this video.

It's Spring yeahhhhhh

The calendar has told us it is spring and the birds are starting to chirp and a single crocus has sprouted. Definatly signs of spring.

Lots happening in my world with artwork. Above is a present I gave to my sister for her birthday. It is a new series of painting/collage on canvas that I have been working on. It is relaxing and keeping in the tradition of using recycled materials.
I am enjoying the process, so keep checking for more pieces in the series.

DRUMROLL PLEASE....

I don't have a camera tonight so sorry for no pictures, but my children both wanted to help me pick a winner. So because there are two of them I decided they could both pick a winner so there are TWO WINNERS TONIGHT.
