Sisters

Giggles, secrets

sometimes tears

sister and friend

through the years.

I don't have a sister, but I was blessed with two daughters, so I get to experience sisterhood through their eyes. Through childhood to adulthood......through the years.

Mixed Media Monday - "Stars"

This piece for Mixed Media Monday was made only with materials, clips, and paints within reach on my worktable. It is completely different from what I usually do. By restricting myself to what just happened to be close by, I actually created a much more random piece. Try it! It's fun!

Edited to add: Little did I know when I did this piece I was Stepping Outside My Box by using desktop scraps. See what others did here.

4 x 4 Friday - "Stencils"

For this Friday's 4x4 challenge, I incorporated the stencil work with a checkered stenciled border on a bit of wallpaper that I had first washed with white acrylic then stamped with a small medallion stamp. The image of "Mary" is courtesy of Paper Flowers. Visit all the other 4x4 participants and see how they used stencils.

Altered Diva

This was a fun piece to work on. (But aren't they all?) There was no theme. There was no plan. It started with an 8x10 canvas. After much painting, stamping and layering, I present to you the finished product: the altered diva.
