Geisha with Lantern

I am again inspired with the wonderful images and artwork by Julia at Cemerony. Here is a lovely geisha holding a lantern. Background paper from Somerset Studios and Cemerony. Image and collage pieces also from Cemerony.  I added a brass lantern charm covered with a paper flower and tied with black linen string. These colors are my favorite!

Angel in a Birdcage

Here is a little wire wrapped cage I made from rusty wire.  I fashioned it into a wobbly and quirky little bird cage for this darling angel girl. I added flowers, a charm and of course her favorite green chair to sit on.  I was inspired by an article in Somerset magazing about little handmade cages. Image is from Paper Whimsy. Enjoy!

Paper Whimsy ATC Challenge

I participate in the monthly ATC challenge over at Paper Whimsy. Everyone has a chance to win all of the ATC's submitted each month through a drawing. Each month is a different theme selected by the previous month's winner. February's theme is Flower Fairy. Here is my submission.

Valentine Love

I created this piece on a 4 x 6 cavas panel/board based on the most beautiful inspiring images from Julia at Cemerony.  She showed a wonderful digital collage on her blog and I wanted to do something like it. so here is is. Enjoy!

Valentine Rosette made from wired ribbon, glittery cutouts and Paper Whimsy image.

Vintage Visions

I have been thinking about having a blog for quite some time and now seems like a good time to start. I love to create collage art and make little tableaux and vignettes.  I have a lovely glass dome on a mercury glass pedestal that I use to create little scenes and stories. I will post these as I create them. I have been doing up my house in a valentine theme and will show some pics of that too. I hope you enjoy.
