Summer dreams......



This is my latest collage. I will have this headed to "The Muse " as well. I think I will do a print order soon ...... I will update my etsy shop with the prints and hopefully some new work????

This is modeled after a picture of my boys and their 2nd cousin in Maine. I used pictures of the sky for the ocean ( see it ). I love the colors.

I am also working on a Flickr account so that all of my work can be viewed. Stay tuned.

Talk to you soon,

Courtney

A window , a chair and some rain.......

Well , I cleaned up the window and added some of my favorite papers. I have not the patience or the time to quilt , so this is the quick and easy version.


I put it on the top of my barn wood jelly cabinet. I love the pop of color.


The Art House Gallery in Atlanta is a really neat art co-op that has these on going art projects. I wanted to be apart of one , so I decided on the 10,000 word project. You simply submit information and your $5 fee..... and they send you a word that you must interpret. I was intrigued. I needed some stimulation and thought how perfect. I could not wait to receive my mystery word. Could it be something I would have to dig really deep for..... hmmmm.
My letter finally arrived and guess what I got????

That's right..... it says "Chair". If you know my art...... you have seen a chair or two.



Here is a new piece " A new beginning". I think this will be headed out to Whitney
at " The Muse".

I told you that I was teaching a workshop thru the community action agency. This was a great group of gals that are well deserving of their "Dream house ". I wish them the best and offer hope for a bright future. Look how great these turned out!




Here are two new collages headed down to The Humidity Gallery in Florida.










I am busy working on some new things to show you soon!

Now I have one !!!!!!

Well I had a great day for treasures!!! I went to a wonderful Store/Tag sale that has been right under my nose forever and I never realized. I picked up this great window ( $6) . I am not sure what I will do with it just yet, but I love it.


Would you look at these beauties!! I just love them...... and I know just what I will do with them!
The price was even better ( $3).



The best for last..... I have my very own cage doll!!! I received an early B-day present from my in-laws . Thanks to my wonderful friends for giving just the right information. I could hardly believe it . My boys decided she needed to hold the nest, and my husband placed the bird on the bottom. They call her mother nature.






More new work coming soon!
Talk to you soon,

I gotta have one.....

I love these antique Santos cage dolls. I came across one ( really 2 , one had wings ) on my trip to Lucketts, VA. I just love them, and I can not really explain why. I love the simple look on their face and the haunting cage skirt. I am not really a girlie girl , but my how I adore these dolls. I could not bare to spend the asking $ 150, and they are pretty big. If I could just find a small one ....... for now I have the pictures.

Talk to you soon,

Courtney
