a few peeks at a readers surprise!

These pictures are smidgens of a 12x16 mixed media piece that I am sending to a blogger friend!  Giving is so much more exciting than selling!  This is the first piece that I have done that all the papers that I used were Gelli plate printed first.  And what I really love is that all the paper came from the recycle bin in my classroom.  Most were left over worksheets and microscope diagrams (I teach science!).  It also includes my new favorite paint color, neon pink! 

Haunted Houses

These are some pieces that I did a while back for a haunted house ATC swap.

Blue and metal rust!

 I love painted metal and the way it

 rusts into a multitude of rich vibrant colors!

This gas pump was outside of the Fuel Pizza Parlor.  

I love my iphone camera for unexpected photo opportunities.

Farmers Market

This is what I brought home from my first trip to the Charlotte Farmer's Market.

All papers were Gelli printed, then stamped, cut, or torn.

Saturday morning bliss

This was my Saturday morning ...

French toast with strawberry sauce and fresh cut up peaches

A handmade pottery mug of black silk coffee

An extra long hot shower

Put on my favorite overalls and yellow converse shoes 

Out the door at 9:30

Take a peek at where I went and what I did...

That's my Gelli Plate!  Mono printing is so much fun!

Patty, Allie, and me with our favorite prints from class at Donna Downey Studios.
