Here are some of the things I've been working on for the past few weeks. I've done some ceramics, ATCS, an illustration and some microscope slides. I've been trying to use up supplies before buying more, and I have discovered that sometimes I have to buy extra new supplies just to finish the old projects. Then I end up with MORE extra supplies. It's never ending. ;-)

I took a lengthy leave from my blog. Life and work have been busy and I've learned I just can't do it all. I am pretty active on FaceBook and I am starting to wonder if a blog is even necessary now. Ahh, we shall see. ;-) If any of you are on FaceBook, I'd love to have you come over and like the page. I post almost daily and you can see work in progress.

Anyway! Here's some 'stuff' I've been working on lately. I'm into finishing projects that have been on hold up, as well as trying to use supplies I've stashed to use later. I'm trying to use more before I buy more. It's also been fun checking drawers and saying 'Woah, I had no idea I had these.' lol.

Say hello. Let me know you're out there and still interested in seeing some art.

I've been busy! My blog is neglected. What can I say? I am spending alot more time posting things on FaceBook these days and am wondering if this blog will stay active much longer. Anyway - here's what I've been up to the last couple of months. I've been making alot of pottery to prepare for my show in November. These are in the kiln today and I am excited to get home and look and see if they all survived! :-)

Thought I'd share some pages out of my ideas sketchbook. Sometimes I randomly doodle and alot of times I plan out projects or jot down ideas for future things I want to make. Bottom shows some pendants I am trying to put together out of clay and the glaze colors I'm thinking of using. I also try to work out what kind of extras I'll add to it, such as chain, charms, wire, etc.

A few things I've been working on. Some altered images I paint, doodle and stamp on. I'll use those in journal spreads, like the one above. I'm also working on some pottery too, trying to build up my stock before the big show in November. It's hard getting back into clay after many months off, but I'm trying. ;-)

I haven't been blogging much this past month. Work has been busy and prepping for the workshop also kept me busy. Here's my piece I made at the Amy McDonald workshop this past Saturday and Sunday. It was a blast! I'll post some more photos soon! Collage on canvas board with painted laser print out. This is based on a photo of my Mum.

It's been busy! I've been working on some pages over the past few weeks and I am posting a bunch of items for you guys to look at. Some incorporate some of my prints and others incorporate a new technique I've been playing with using packing tape.

Aren't these super cool? These are the self portrait books that Jen Worden put together. Each of us did a self portrait and sent it to Jen. She made these fabulous handmade books for each of us. Inside there are pages with copies of the other artist's self portraits. We also filled in a questionnaire and we got a copy of each person's answers. Awesome. Thanks Jen!

Artists are: Jen Worden, Maripat-Luna Doyle Oberg, AMy McDonald, Judah Sleep, Me and Karen Isaacson.
