New art handbag project


I am so excited to make these handbags! I use gently used handbags to create my art creations on. These handbags are great! The photos show two different sides of the same bag. These will be in my shop soon but I wanted to have a couple to list so customers can chose. I am making another one, but it will be hard to give up, I think I want to keep it for myself. If you are interested in one just drop me a line. I will post sizes and dimensions in my shop.

Sketch at Les Schwab


I got new tires today, and boy can I tell a difference! This is a sketch I quickly did while I was waiting. Oh, and I got "sniping",,, that means they will hug the road better on ice, which we really need here in Seattle.

Puppy Patrol


I have had more time to work in my journal the last couple of days. Here is my latest. It is called "Puppy Patrol". I just found out I need new tires for my car. Ugh. They are very expensive. I guess there is no good time to buy new tires. Hey, maybe I'll just borrow this Puppy's tires, they look like they are in better shape than mine!

A new journal page



Well, I didn't get too far on the fabric journal. I lost steam after I made the cover I'll get back to it though.

In the meantime, I made this illo for a new publication that's coming out, probably in the later part of the year. Fishes are showing up in my paintings,,,,, and big lips...... hmmmmm, what's that about?

A new project



I am hoping to make some fabric artist journals soon. I made the fabric transfers of my art last night. See my sewing machine, its an oldie but I love it. It does all the simple things I need it to do. I just took it in for a tune up. I took it to Joanne's Fabrics, as they had the best price. I'll post more photos as I complete my project.

Have a creative day!

Women in the Mix Art Show





Here are some of my paintings for the "Women in the Mix" art show. The reception was last night and it was a lot of fun. The displays were wonderful! It was so nice to be with other artists and share the night with such talented artists. These are available for sale. The larger one 20 x 24 is $220.00, Costume is $210.00, and "Conversation" is $100.00. If they don't sell at the show they will be availble in my etsy shop in May.
Thank you all for coming!
