Raindrops...

Fascinated by the way water beads on nasturtium leaves. My photography skills are not what they used to be due to my vision issues. I point, click and hope to get lucky. Enjoy!

Bright...

More journal page backgrounds, lots of bright colors...

Productive...

It's been a great week and quite productive.

I celebrated my 53rd birthday on Tuesday, a pretty normal day because I celebrate each and every day. After all I went through last Summer, I know that every day is a gift. Lots of extra love and wishes received. I am so very blessed.

My rose is in full bloom, a gift I received on my last birthday. So pretty.

Polymer clay and bead pendants I've been working on.

A couple of close ups.

Another project complete...Farmhouse, 12 x 12 mixed media box. The photo was taken in 1944, the farmhouse my father lived in as a boy. I The rusted elements are pieces I found several weeks ago at a local, abandoned homesite.

A fabulous week!

Thinking about the box...

Attended an awesome workshop this past weekend at the Bower Center for the Arts. The workshop, Thinking about the Box was presented by Nancy Stark, a fabulous artist from Roanoke, Virginia.

Red Hot Mama

Three days of art, spending time with friends and making new ones. I had a great time, wish it could have lasted longer although I was exhausted by the time it was over. Nancy will be teaching the same workshop in Lynchburg, at the Art Box, in June. If you are local, I highly recommend it.
Enjoy!
