Macro Monday – Looking Forward to Spring

….even though we haven’t had much winter

The signs are out there that spring is just around the corner but I doubt that Winter is done with us just yet.

Trios of my Favourite Art Tools

….join me by sharing your favourite photos of trios

Some of my favourite tools are very unconventional, like the twig and the toothbrush but I love them because they give me such interesting marks.

One Word Sunday – Hand(made)

thanks to Debbie from Travel With Intent for hosting One Word Sunday https://travelwithintent.com/2023/02/26/hand/?blogsub=confirmed#subscribe-blog

I love to make things and because I use my hands they are classified as handmade. I frequently show my art but never my hands. Here are a few pieces where you can catch a glimpse of my hands. The envelope is a Turkish fold and is wonderful for messages and coupons. I gave this to a friend recently for her birthday with coupons to redeem for a girl’s lunch and visit to the art gallery or museum. The second handmade item is the art journal that I’ve shown here before. So much fun to make and helps me warm up for making larger pieces of art.
