Painting - Eleanor of Aquitaine

I decided to start a series of paintings on women with different styles than I am used to.  This is "Eleanor of Aquitaine" done in mixed media - acrylics, assorted papers, Prismacolor pencils, pens, inks, on 16x20in canvas.

Journal - Sisters In Art Cover of Journal

"Sisters In Art" - Circle Journal Group
This is the cover of a circle journal I made using collaged elements - vintage photographs, stamping, written names of the members of the circle journal group. I added beads and fibers to the ribbons holding the book together in the binding. Tabs separate the page protectors that hold the artwork from each of the artists. Inside are directions for the theme of the book, room for each artist's signature and a little ''about themselves" and holders for the Artist Trading Cards they make to go in the book.

I Joined A New Site...

I joined a new site the other day - it is strictly for ATC's. The folks there made me feel so welcome! They have tons of stuff to view and read and I am learning a lot and have gotten great inspiration for new work. They have a lot of challenges and swaps, big and small. The art is very diverse, ranging from collage to hand-painted works that are great. If you want to go check it out - site is now defunct but I trade here: www.ATCsForALL.com and IllustratedATCs.com
Let me know what you think!

Altered Hanging - Winged QT

Hanging - 'Winged QT'
Going through my ephemera I saw this cutie and thought she would be a different kind of addition to my studio. She is made with a slide mount, metal tags and paper wings. I usually don't do a lot of 'cute' things, but what the heck...
