A Family Portrait

Still playing with this idea...I thought it they would make fun gifts. But this one feels off somehow. I'm in the process of working through another on a smaller scale.

I'm also on Day 61 of The 100 Day Project.

I almost forgot...I pulled out a couple of my gelliplates to make sure I can still pull an image transfer.  Delighted that I can, but only from magazine/book photos. I so want to be able to use my own photos but I cannot get laser prints or inkjet prints to work. The YouTube videos make it look so easy, but, alas, I've had no luck.

Still Exploring my Inner Marisol

I'm continuing to explore my inner Marisol by creating this multiple selves portrait which was way too fun to make.

And The 100 Day Project is still going on. 

Inspired by Marisol

I attended the exhibition Marisol: A Retrospective at the Toledo Museum of Art last week and it was incredible. I was inspired and got out my embellished scraps and my box of heads to do a quick journal page which I think is a great jumping off point for some new collages.

And the idea makes a good, and quick, birthday card design.

 

 

Of course, I've also been keeping up with The 100 Day Project. I'm up to Day 40/100.

 

Story Board and Some Weathergrams

Yes, I admit,  I didn't want to do this project. But once I got started and stopped poo posing it, I had so much fun. I'm still adding bits and pieces, and my Yayoi Kusama fake stamp fell off into what can only be a Bermuda Triangle, but I'm liking my story board after all.

This morning,  I realized it's the day to hang weathergrams, so I made one to remember each of our last three cats...whom we miss dearly.

 

Washi Egg Season

I spent an afternoon making washi eggs with my friend, Judy. It's become an annual tradition since she was the one who taught me this wonderful art form. Our day of egg pasting always gets me started on a washi egg binge. 

Judy is teaching this next week at a cool new wine bar. Here's the link, if your local...

Washi Egg Class

 

Now, I need to take time to watch the March Fodder School project videos. 

March Fodder

 I finally got started on my March Fodder School lessons. I'd been feeling unfocused and not so interested but I made myself watch a few of Shay Michelle's videos. Techniques are interesting and I kind of let one bleed over into the next with some decent results.  

I'm also on Day 24/100 of The 100 Day Project. I can't wait to have a whole pile of yummy scraps to root through when I'm working on something.

The 100 Day Project Continues

I'm up to Day 16 on The Hundred Day Project.
