Memorial Day!

Some of you have seen this mixed media collage before, but I thought it appropriate to post on my blog to honor all the men and women who have helped preserve the freedom we enjoy!

16"x 22" under glass

I did this piece for several days in 2001, 9/11.

I needed something to do to make my sadness, then anger, become calmer and productive. As you know from my blog bio, I use art a lot as therapy for myself. It tends to make the negative turn just slightly positive. 

Hope you all enjoy a "flag waving" holiday"!

Please enjoy and no political comments will be allowed.

Indulge my jibjab addiction!

I love this place and they are very user friendly!

Transparencies of flower scans

pressed flowers

Now play! 

Put them together like a puzzle and try all different ways until you get what you like. Glue transparencies with small "swish" of glossy accents(light touch). Flowers are also glued with glossy accents. 

Of Course of can keep layering . I liked this image so much I decided to stop at the piece you see on top!

I hope some of you try working with transparencies, just make your own of your photos or drawings!

Love to see what some of you create. If you wish to leave a comment and then add your link so we can see!!!!

Thank you all for your kind words and support for the calendar page I submitted to Cloth, Paper, Scissors for the 2010 calendar. I was NOT one of the winners. 

But, you know, it is a beautiful day here and we are having Zacherys pizza for dinner(thin crust ,the BEST) and tomorrow I am going to try the new Tap transfer paper I ordered from Lesley Riley. I will sulk for a moment and then it's done!!!

Have a superior weekend !

Thanks for listening!
