My newest painting with acrylics. This one is on a 5x7" canvas so I painted the edges to match so it can be framed or not. I've always loved working small, but I am gradually increasing the size of my art as I get more comfortable with working larger. This one is in my Etsy Store if you'd like to add it to your art collection. :)
My little sister got married this month (April Fools Day!) and when I learned of her engagement, I immediately got to work on a surprise garland of embroidered hearts. I started with the colors she had chosen for her wedding bouquet, a fun colorful blend of bright pink, green and purple.
I made a total of 14 hearts, each one with a different color combination of blended wool felt, buttons and matching threads. Two of the hearts were embroidered with their names and date and place of their wedding. I then put foam board in between each heart and a back heart to make them more rigid, and blanket stitched them together.
I actually ran out of time and wasn't able to stitch the hearts to the ribbon before I flew to Oregon, but was able to get it finished on the drive to the wedding location - whew! Then, while my sister was out, I hung them up in the cabin where her reception was held. They looked great with her coat, too - how cute is she?!
Congratulations, Jen and Clay!! xo
This mosaic titled Nowhere to Be (But Here) is 10 1/2 x 13" and is made with stained glass, millefiori, beads and steel wire whiskers. For me, it expresses the joy of being in the moment with a loved one. If you are interested in purchasing it please email me. Hope you like it!
After creating my most recent mosaic of a kitten with his parent (this one), I decided to do another one with a completely different color scheme. I've always loved this color combination and don't think I've ever used it before in my art. I'm really happy with how it is coming out so far. I hope to be finished in a few days and will post the finished mosaic after it is grouted!
