mw cuffs

These cuffs are available for purchase

Make a continuous line of beads that will look like stacked bangles on your wrist. I use memory wire, a variety of beads and sari silk in my designs.

Have you made these cuffs? They are soooo fun!
Visit my other blog for more jewelry designs.

collage necklace

My collages seem to be getting smaller and smaller. Other than they are so fun to make, I just can not get rid of even the smallest pieces of paper. I keep a box for all the bits of paper that practically need tweezers to handle them. Sometimes my intention is to go though the box and toss a few, but then I find myself arranging and gluing and a collage happens. This one is 1.5X1.5 in size. I decided to treat it as a cabochon and edged it with bead embroidery. Went perfect with a bunch of faux resin beads that I had made....sort of an art hanging, not on a wall but around the neck.

Wood Block Collage

Thank you Joy for the kick in the pants...I haven't posted in a long time, life got in the way.
This collage is done on a painted wood block. Helps recycle, saves on frame cost, and will either stand on a mantle or attach a hanger and hang on a wall.
More new images here and here.

stamp and doodle

I call this "Stamp and Doodle" art. I try to keep a small sheet of watercolor paper close by when I am painting. As I stamp onto my work, I also stamp onto the watercolor paper at random to clean the stamp. When I run out of room, I doodle over the stamped images and watercolor over that. Sometimes it's art...sometimes it's aren't.
