Arty Zine - I Am Enough

In one of my March 2nd (2025) posts, I mentioned in the next zine with a word background, I should try folding the 8.5"x11" paper horizontally and writing from the fold to the paper edge on both sides.  That is how this zine background was created.  

Both the front and back covers (the two pages on the bottom left) have abstract designs.  The remaining pages have words/letters in different forms: hand-writing, cut out with black paper framing, and printed with glitter glue framing.

In making this zine, I wasn't thinking or planning how I wanted it to look when finished.  In fact, I simply put watercolor remnants together that I liked.  The 'I am' came to mind because I cut out the 'I' and liked it.  Then, I cut out two squares of paper I liked and created the A+M.  Later, I printed 'enough' which seemed like the perfect pairing with I am.  It is certainly a vivid reminder of what is important to remember as an artist...and even more so, as a person!

Fabric Basket - Pretty Easy

This basket was made in Jane Hall's half-day course at IQF 2014.  The greatest amount of time involved in making it--was cutting and sewing the strips together.  Otherwise, it went together easily and quickly (3 hours). These baskets are a great holiday gifting idea that you can match to family and friends' home decoration color schemes.  They're fun and useful besides.

Highjacked Blog Photo

My profile photo was highjacked ! For those of you who are blogging, be wary. There are some unscrupulous folks out there who may be using or about to use a photo(s) you've uploaded to an online photo-hosting site. At the time I created a blog, having a URL for a photo uploaded online was the only way to insert a photo in your profile or to create a custom header. There had been no problems for a long while. This morning, however, I did a Google image search for my name and found my photo linked to a totally different blog than my own! It is possible I didn't mark my file with the online photo-hosting site as private, but I didn't expect this to happen. I don't know whether marking it private would have actually averted the situation, but I'm not waiting to find out. I eliminated my membership to that online photo-hosting service today and caution anyone to be careful with uploading images to the internet . If you read the terms of agreement at many sites, you'...
