A gift...

Dream, Mosaic Pendant
A gift from my friend, the ever so talented mosaic artist, Bonnie Kinnaird.
It's just perfect, the tree, the bird, the fabulous color. Her work is wonderful. I'm a lucky girl.

It's been a good week. Several pieces worked on and many more journal pages completed. Makes me feel normal...I'm a lucky girl.
Enjoy!

When one door of happiness closes another opens;

but often we look so long at the closed door

that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

Helen Keller

Oh so true!

Have a wonderful day.

Collage Art...

Just after the first of the year I felt the need to try something new. I still wanted to play with paper but also wanted to try some painting and other techniques. During my research, I kept coming back to collage art. While in a craft store one day, I found the book, Collage Lab by Bee Shay and with the first flip through the pages I knew I had found what I was looking for.

I am hooked and have spent hours working through the book. Although I still have a lot to learn, and many more labs to complete, here is my first attempt at a collage...
Believe Collage, size 4 x 6
I have framed this collage in a red wood frame and decided to keep it for myself since it was my first one.
More pieces in the works and will share them soon.
Have a fantastic weekend!
Be back soon.
