Indian Women: Sneak Peak!




I'm in the very final stages of completion for the Indian Woman Workshop!  The Videos are all filmed and edited, and now I am putting the final touches on the workbook. Above is the cover!  When I see it, the colors make me think of spices and colorful saris.

The layout of the workbook is the most exciting part for me.  After spending so much time drawing, painting, designing, scanning, photographing and writing, I get to put it all together and see it as a whole - which is thrilling!  Graphic design is making sure it flows to makes sense AND look good, so it's fun to use that other section of my brain.  I hope those of you who are joining the class enjoy it as much as I did putting it together!  Don't hesitate to ask me questions if you have any.

New Video: Making ATC Malier Envies!

ATC Swap Hosts and Players:
You may want to consider the envie holders in this vid as an alternative to securing your ATCs with scotch tape LOL


I have seen instructions for making these "holders" at AFA and on blogs and such and have gotten them from folks in my swaps, but couldn't find a video, and so made one.




If any of you are hosting right now and want to encourage your swap participants to "Go Green", please feel free to use the link!

The witchy with the glass-green eyes....

Here is a sneak peak at the upcoming Wacky Witch Walk-through that will be published in the upcoming issue of ArtTrader Magazine:


I like her glass-green eyes and bright pink hair!  Who said a witch has to be dark and scary?

Hello Everyone!  I'm taking advantage of the flooding to get some art work done!  I've made a few celestial cards I'm happy with, and will probably offer some greeting cards for sale soon, featuring the cards you see here.


They are created with watercolor and  ink on Bristol board. I've been listening to a lot of Celtic music, I call it "Lawerence Welk" Celtic Music, as it's easy listening for the most part.....John McDermott, Roger Whittaker and and like ;)  The Skye Boat Song obviously inspired the Sky Ocean card above.  I've really enjoyed creating with that concept, and make make some larger pieces, as these are only 3.5x2.5
