Ann Baldwin class

Today I got a chance to take an online class with collage artist Ann Baldwin. This is what I made. It was a study in abstract, using different mediums. It looks kind of a mess, maybe to some, but the idea is to let the layers show through. It was fun, and I learned some new things, so to me it was a success. I have to thank Susan at Broken Heart Art for sending me the info about the class. It was with an online site named Art Workshops.tv Thank you Susan.
This is one I made on my own, a book art piece.
Have a good week everyone.

type drawer

Here's what I'm doing with the type drawer. This is such a fun project. Very relaxing to me. Hope to finish today. If you have any suggestions, let me know, I'd love to hear some feedback.

making a memory

Yesterday my oldest son Jason and I and my friend Chris went to an art show in the downtown city park. It was a wonderful day. Jason is home right now. Staying with us. For how long I don't know. But we spent the day together, he has a love for art as well as I do. I didn't take pictures of the art work, there was so much, but here are some highlights.

I don't know what these are called, artist for sure.
They were on stilts, and moving the wings of the dragonfly and head of the ostrich with levers.

Ouch!

Well I opted to spend the day in the pool, now I'm sunburned, (duh), but that's ok. I'll tan. It is really hot here, yesterday was 103. Today 98.
Today I spent mostly in the house, getting summer clothes done up, and working on my assemblage with the "type drawer". It's going quite well.
I only have 4 items listed on my Etsy store, but by the 1st of next month I should have several more collages. Guess we all have to start somewhere. Any tips you can give to a newby? I totally did not know how to charge for shipping. I know there is boocoo information to read on the site, and I have read some, but who has the time. Anyway hope you all are having a relaxing weekend. More later.
