Here is a glimpse of what I am working on for Art Fiberfest. More reclaimed dolls, and trying my hand at some fabric and mixed media cuffs... Lot of work to do .. wish me luck...

So I have this small obsession with wandering the isles of dollar stores or big box craft stores looking for items to reclaim and upcycle. These items are inevitably soulless and aesthetically challenged. I like to resurrect the hopelessly tacky ballerina doll and turn her into dark and meaningful art. Gesso, a dremel, and a blow torch are my favorite weapons of resurrection.. Enjoy..

I haven't been keeping my usual visual journal much at all this year. But I have been sketching, doodling, and generally playing with pens more since taking Theo's class at Artfest. I have really been enjoying it and feel like there are some new interesting images coming to me. I think some of these images may become collage paintings at some point. So not much to say but wanted to share some new visual fun...

If you local and can brave the Ski to Sea crowds there are amazing deals on beautiful art at:

Good Earth Pottery's Annual 2nds Sale
Sunday, May 24, 2009
10:00am - 6:00pm
Location:
In front of Good Earth Pottery
Street:
1000 Harris Ave
City/Town:
Bellingham, WA

I will not be present for the sale as I am going to enjoy the first Memorial day weekend off in 10 years. But I did drop off 3 boxes work. Pottery hangings that the glaze didn't turn out quite right, older work that just needs a good home(including some mixed media work), cracked pieces that would be fabulous for a mosaic artist, and other strange treasures.
Go early for the best selection . Happy weekend! Enjoy the beautiful weather

So I always admire Cathy Cullis's mosaic mondays on her blog. I have found lots of inspiring amazing artists through her choices. But being a hands-on kind of girl I want to do it myself!! After several trys I think I made it work.. fingers crossed.. and thank you to all the amazing artists that share there work through Flickr.
