This is one of those projects where inspiration comes from the materials themselves! My friend, Mary McVay, asked if I would do a Trading Papers #tradingpapers swap with her. Well, yeah, I’m up for a fun challenge! The swap meant sending each other a box of collage goodies (paper, fabric, bric a brac, and other […]

Time to get back to exhibits! The Ohio Collage Society will have its annual member’s exhibit from April 9 – June 26, 2021 at Summit Artspace. My entry is The Magpie’s Eye. I’m excited to see this show. We’re a small-ish group, but, dang, we make some good stuff. If you like collage and mixed […]

I’m delighted to have been selected to participate in a virtual art and craft fair hosted on Instagram! Held October 20-24, it’s a Holiday Bazaar, called the “From A Distance Craft Fair”. The hosts, Maker Made Collective, have invited more than 30 artists and craftspeople to be part of this show. They will highlight each […]
For inspiration for this collage, I turned to the Nebra Sky Disk, perhaps the oldest known depiction of the night sky. It was used to mark the solstices and help the people of the time understand the world around them. The disk includes the constellation Pleiades – the Seven Sisters – which made me think […]
