About Me

My photo
I live in La, work full time and dabble in art when ever I can. I would love to be able to do my art full time--who knows, maybe one day I will. In the past year, I started doing Festivals, trying to sell my Art. It is A LOT of work, but worth it. I have met so many people with the same interests as myself.

Joanie's Quest (Latest Pieces)

I call this piece "Joanie's Quest". It is made on an
old piece of wood flooring that was torn out of a local
college and a ceramic tile.



The heart is made out of apoxy clay that is dyed
with ink.

The metal band on the top is a piece of metal
strapping that I got from the job.

The lace is very old, I got it from a trade show.
The compas came from the dollar tree. I used
Modern Options to rust it.







Finished piece.

Sketch for my next painting.

Beginning of the painting.





These are some jewelry pendant that I am working
on. They are made from dried flowers that I dried last summer
and findings that I bought at Hobby Lobby. Some are
inlaid with old text.









All in all, I had a pretty good weekend. I managed to get a piece out and a few more started. I also helped my son move on Sunday. He is finally flying out of the nest (again). I can't say that I won't miss him, but now I can finally start on my house. He has been living in the house that we want to renovate. Now--maybe, if luck holds...........keep your fingers crossed-we can start on it. I have all of the big plans and I can see it all in my head. Just gotta get it started and see if the finished product looks like "vision" that I have for it.

  2. Oh my goodness, your mixed media is simply an amazing work of art. I love all of the pieces pulled together. Your drawing is so beautiful and I can't wait to see the finished product. I have always been completely intrigued by those jewelry pieces and one day hope to learn to make them myself. Have a lovely day.
