Collage Pendants

Spent a bit of time fiddling around in the studio this weekend and came up with some new collage pendants. They are on a smaller scale than these and the miniature collage was created using leftover scraps from this pile. I was quite pleased with the abstract patterns that emerged and am thinkin' I may have to keep one for myself.

Landscape Stripes

We've been enjoying a new addition to our collection of art objects, Landscape Stripes, a delicate collage by the lovely artist Joy Patrice O'Brien. I'm loving every little detail about it--from it's geometric overtones to the pencil markings and (of course!) the tattered book page. For now, it's nestled on top of our front room bookshelves as I've quite used up my quota of allotted nail holes in our rental house. The whole 'leaning' look is growing on me as a result.

New Assemblage & Collage

I spent the entire weekend in my studio (except for a couple trips to the pool). Several new pieces were added to the shop last night. All of these put this newsprint to good use. Enjoy!

Happy Summer

We were out and about on Saturday and stopped to enjoy this scenic view overlooking the Konza Prairie. Everything looked so lush as a thundershower had just past over the area. Wishing you a happy summer--today marks the summer solstice here in the Northern Hemisphere!

A few more of my Couture Collage pendants have been posted in the shop. Enjoy!

New Assemblage

Several new assemblage pieces are the result of that 1950's newspaper I shredded the other day. The colors were so perfect for these small collaged landscapes. You can view more of these in the shop right here.
