About Me

My photo
Without making myself sound too boring, I will say I am married for 34 years and have one married daughter and 3 grandchildren. I work part-time doing independent contract work for retail stores and also work for the Catholic Schools Lunch Program. Enough to keep me in spending money! I belong to several online art groups, the biggest being AAWA. This group has expanded my horizons in mixed media artistry. I enjoy altering items such as cigar boxes, bottles and books to name a few. I like to do collage, iris folding, ATCs, 4x4s, inchies,and plain old card making. I have dabbled with clay, made domino jewelry and glass slide pieces. I don't mind trying new things, but I am a visual person and need to see an example or have hands on guidance. Maybe that's an age thing!

Another altered art endeavor...


Joined an altered rolodex swap which is another first for me. It will be a very cool set of addies and info on my art friends when I get the whole set of 31 in my hands. I'm thinking of suggesting this in another of my groups so I can add their rolos to my collection. When I finally came up with my idea, I made an original and then had it color photocopied and just embellished each individually. Made the info on the back ( addy, likes, hobbies, etc.) on sticker paper and stuck it on the back of each card. Made 32 of these!

I'm just "moo"ing along....


I've tried my hand at Moo art and these are a few of the ones I did this afternoon. Once you get started on them, they are so quick and easy and fun. You can't do just one!! Anyway, several of these are for a swap in AAWA.
