O Christmas Tree ~ I made this canvas a couple months ago, preparing for my November Art Show in my hometown, Chester, MT.  I was inspired to make this tree piece, sparked by some white stretch-knit, lacey fabric I’ve had for awhile.  I bought it to make scarves from it, and of course, had some fabric leftover.  I started this piece by cutting it …

What a wonderful weekend!  I got a few things done; we made a delicious prime rib roast for our Saturday dinner, I finished my inventory list for the art show, and packed it all up.  Whew.  And gained an hour – thank goodness!  And woke up to a beautiful morning Sunday. How I love mornings!  And I dearly love beautiful …

It was called  “Creative Color”   and the last part  of this class detailed a sweet technique for tissue paper, collaged hearts. It’s quite simple.  You randomly cut squares from tissue paper; not exact squares either ~ {love that} ~ scrunching n’ twisting them, and attach them …

About Vision.   The kind that is inward ~ outward ~ upward…  In my heart, my mind, and my eyes… Just a few of some recent ramblin’s of my mind. {I have been told I ask alot of questions}  Having gone through my recent cataract surgery has given me pause to think much deeper about ‘sight.’   Specifically in terms of ‘more than meets the eye.’  {pardon …
