Since 2012, I've used this space to post creative experiments using the inspiration and insight gained from daily life and, at times, escape from daily life. Enjoy.
Today's piece is a repurposed painting I picked up at an estate sale that felt like it was in need of a little something extra. The original flowers were a washed out pink, so I added some extra color and a photobombing goose to wish myself a happy birthday.
After 8 years looking at the same decorative plate hanging over the sink in my kitchen, today's collage is actually a glass tile mosaic that I made from repurposed glass bubble tile and framed in copper flashing leftover from our 2011 home roofing project. Washing dishes just got more interesting.
10/6/13 11x14 Mixed Media Collage Having fun with repurposed costume jewelry that I picked up at an Estate Sale for an early start on Christmas gifts for this year. Also used the back of a Indian wedding invitation I found in an empty drawer at work and newsprint from a 1963 Fort Worth Star Telegram as a the background. Love that there was an article headlined, "Turkey Good With Garnish of Cranberries." (just to the left of the lamppost)
