I have not been adding to the blog for a few weeks and I feel obligated to present a doctor's note. Her are scans of my fractured wrist. The before shot was taken after the emergency room tried to manipulate it the first time. These shots were taken during the surgery. I now have a True Value wrist. It is my right wrist - however I am left handed - so all is good!

"THE STARS IN MY EYES" Another in my second series of collages - these are whimsical, they are not what you might expect and sometimes require a second look. This collage measures 5" x 7", postcard format,and is created with founds papers mounted on 120# watercolor paper.
I'm always intrigued by the empty eye look. If you could look in them, what would you see, and do you really want to see it?

If you are doing "whimmsy" - you can not leave out the all American family!

This collage measures 5" x 7", postcard format,and is created with founds papers mounted on 120# watercolor paper. I don't even know what to say about this one. I added the squirrel as an after-thought, and that's that!

"Come To Alice's Dinner" Another in my second
series of collages - these are whimsical, they are not what you might expect and
sometimes require a second look. This collage measures 5" x 7", postcard format,
and is created with founds papers mounted on 120# watercolor paper. This was an exercise in
putting together unusual combinations - to make it whimsical. I changed not only
faces but sometimes facial features. I was limited by my choice of papers I
could use - there was no perusing through the magazines - I had to use the
collection of found papers in front of me, This fabulous period photo just cried
out - Alice in Wonderland. I have a deck of miniature playing cards that added
the perfect touch.

August 5, 2008 Abstract Collage

This collage measures 5 x 7" and was created with tissue paper, mulberry paper, and acrylic paint. In addition to the size being part of the exercise, in this collage I limited myself to only 3 colors - blue, green, and yellow. "Less is more". The point of this exercise is to limit the choices and decisions in regard to size, color, and materials - that allows more time for creativity.
