Wintering - Retreating - Readying

This is one of my favorite live oak trees in the neighborhood -- that last fall pruned its summer cover to prepare for wintering as it is now doing. 

It will soon burst forth with newness blossoming a dense foliage that will fill in the blue areas such that they won't appear any more except through slivers of space between the volume of leaves that will dance along this tree's branches.

Fabric Basket - Pretty Easy

Life Book 15 - Week 36 Project Completed (or nearly completed)

This project went in an entirely different direction than the Life Book 2015 lesson.  That's ok because we're also working on accepting those times when we move in our own direction using the lesson purely as a launching point. This piece involved experimenting with collage on a substrate (muslin covered with joint compound), followed with paint, more collage, and then the felt, fabric and beaded plant. This piece was created through a class offered by Tamara Laporte from Willing Arts Ltd. For more information, visit this link:  www.willowing.org .
