Clay Date Play Date

 I had my hands in some clay for the first time in over 20 years when some friends planned a Clay Date. We had a fabulous time, even if I was underwhelmed by my work. 

 

Birthday Card

I made a birthday card for a friend who will be 85. I printed the inside sentiment digitally, as Judy is a calligrapher and I am not...not the she would judge...or she might judge a little.

 

Wrapping Stones

Today, I wrapped some stuff around stones.

Wrapping Sticks

This is not my first time wrapping stuff around sticks. I wrapped a whole jar of little sticks around the last election, an effort to rein in my angst. But I was really dragging my feet on this one...probably because my studio room is a big mess. Anyway, I finally wrapped my few favorite sticks. Now, I want to go out hunting more sticks! I only wish it weren't 90° outside. Thanks, Roxanne, for the kick in the pants!

 I did one more box collage...I almost forgot about it. 

 

 

Birthday Card

Hanging onto the eyeball because it's so much fun to make, I made our grandniece a birthday card.

Bird Box

I'm having too much fun with these simple collages on 8" birch boxes. And I used my excess paint for a page of fodder.

 

Fabric Fodder

 I finally had some time to watch a bit of Fodder School videos from Roxanne Evans Stout and started some fabric fodder. I did cheat somewhat by starting with the cotton rags I've been using for months to clean brushes, palettes, sponges, stencils, and stamps.
