A dream is just a dream, a goal is a dream with a deadline (paraphrased from Harvey McKay) or like to say to myself in my art studio "just show up"! I am a mixed-media full-time artist that loves painting, collage and encaustic. Recycling/repurposing as much as possible including tea bags, onion skins (anything is fair game) working intuitively preferring sticks, fingers, feathers as tools over a paint brush. I am grateful for the opportunity to create in my studio daily.

Miniature Book necklace and heart key
I made this sweet necklace for the book lovers out there. Black ribbon and cord and a red miniature hand-made book dangles from red beads, with a small key that matches the lock on the book. The lock is heart-shaped as well as the top of the key. The book opens and functions as a small book. I have been making book marks and this was on my to do or should I say my wish list. I made it red for the holidays but I can do special orders, different colors also.
If you look at previous posts you can see book marks I have made with miniature books also.

Ta Da! It is finished!
I finally finished my doodle of Madison's name! I started it quite some time back and she saw it in my studio one day and said I should finish it. She was six then, she is now seven. So I finished it!
It started out strictly black and white with the red balloon lifting the letter "I". Then I added the blue blue bird and then I couldn't quite coloring. Of course, I was inspired my my new copics. They are wonderful. I can't wait to try air brushing with them.
I found the perfect frame for this.....I can't wait to give it to Madison. I love the little snail and caterpillar.........I am actually going to miss doodling on this.......
