Long Forgotten Cat Quilt

Since the beginning of this crazy pandemic year, I have been searching through my closets and cupboards and discovering things long forgotten.  I did a lot of reconsidering, tossing out, and reorganizing like a lot of us who have been stuck in our homes. And since our summers are hot, I tend to stay inside where I can be cool. 

Anyways, one of the things I discovered is a quilt that I had started sometime ago, in the 80's, I think. Good grief!  So I worked on the top pattern and this is the stage it is in currently since my old Euro Pro bit the dust.  

I have decided to make a simple border and sashing to frame the top in blue tones, since that is my go to color.   Once I get the hang of my new Viking Opal 650 machine I will return to this cozy project.   Maybe even in time for winter.
 

 

Mixed Mini with a daisy stamp

Here is the 4 x 4 in. collage made with acrylic paints, daisy stamp, ribbon, paper bits, napkin decoupage, and metal brad for embellishment on canvas surface.  I taught this project as a quick make & take for a support group of cancer patients.   They could add their own creative touches to it by using different papers, ribbons, and other bits of ephemera.
I was grateful to provide a couple hours of art therapy for those who came that day.

"A little Christmas Painting Fun"

Just some fun from my Christmas collection for you to enjoy.

A fun collection of Santas I love to display. 

Some that I have created.

Snowy Friends by me!

Here is a sweet painting called "Baby Swan." (Actually they are called cignets.)  Perfect for this Spring season.  Don't you think?

Acrylic on 11 X 14" canvas.

Here is a painting I did a few years back. It looks like a cool night in Autumn in the country.  Just really not that way though here.  Still hot in September in Vegas.  Ugh!  I sure am hoping some cooler days come soon.  

Collage and Mixed Media

Green Tea Joy contains paper ephemera, acrylic paint, stamping and stenciling.

Creating faces can be challenging.  We have certain ideas about just how one should look.  The eyes show the most emotion and personality for me.  Sometimes I don't even know what they are going to convey until I am almost finished with them.  

 Working with a limited color palette, I drew this girl, wondering about her day and where it will lead. Her day has only begun. I think the sky outside her window is just beginning to light up.

Young woman in purple veil is ready to discover the new day.  Wonder what her story will be.  Watercolor crayons and pens.
