her vision. family. art.

new work.

this is my piece for the self contained collaboration. well- i'm only posting some closeup visuals becuz one of the players hasn't gotten her  hands on it yet*wink

this concept came from an issue of Legacy where the artist (dont remember who -but i liked her work!) created 'photo' boxes from small wooden slats. i encased the box with strips of wide masking tape then covered that with acrylic. the feet are old and worn apholstery tacks. the bottom is where each player will sign/date when they worked on the piece. this hits 9 times, but only has 5 workable sides     .....hmmmm, it's gonna be interesting to see how creative we get for the last round-1/2. :-) i love challenge.

the collaboration theme is SELF CONTAINED. it's interesting -the different insight all 3 of us players have. i love this kind of play because it's all real.

the visuals are of the top. i wanted to keep it simplistic because the vile itself is pretty full of symbolism. busy. the white acrylic tones it down some. i'm not going to go into a lot of detail about this yet, but i will tell you the vile is full of burnt matches which all have a different descriptive word (cut out book text) adheared to them. ....can you only imagine-? (LOL) i'm excited to see the end result to this and have full intentions of having it sit out in my studio to remind and inspire me always:-P

have a great rest of your week/-end. see ya.

I’m back-  life is great and crazy full for me right now. A lot going on so I’ve been MIA here, but have gotten some time in for a little journal action J (here goes another one of those long posts  -ready?)

FIRST I’m going to brag on Bobby!!! After 2.5yrs he’s gotten back in competition armwrestling and I have a couple pics to show.

I truely admire this boy and his mindset to persue anything that interests him. No limits with this kid and he has a good time. He's so great. I was here with Eth and his gang…   it was a fun night and as always entertaining with these boys!

Here’s a recent (month-1/2 ago) journal page that I did. It’s a lot of journaling and has a lot of symbolism-meaning. True heart kinda stuff J

We just got back from a bittersweet trip to Tenn. Loosing a loved one isn’t easy at all, especially when it’s unexpected, but family and friends and community there are so supportive and so welcoming-loving-supportive. True Faith, and I embraced my time there. Beautiful-Beautiful country.

Here i used an Affliction clothing tag that completely fits here- 2 passions combined into 1 design found! Masking tape and black and white labels were used. In the bottom left-handed corner i created a piece by wrapping a bird diecut with copper tape, with a jump ring i attached the "AF", and with another jump ring attached the heart. It's all taped into place with strips of masking tape. I really love this layout -meaning and it's appearance of simple-messyness! It's basically black/white. A little 'pop'

 

Touch base again soon

Promise!
