Doorway

For our second PS challenge, we chose "doorway" as the image to work with. I love the multiple doorways of this old ruin. An old photo of my daughter from camp added to the sense of multiplicities. I threw in an altered quote of T.S. Eliot.

Meg's Birthday Card



I made this card for Meg while she was at Mardi Gras and I was remembering how much fun I had the year that I went with them. I found an image I liked of a jester and cut out pieces to construct him. The hardest thing was getting the right size. Too big and it became much too large for a card, too small and I couldn't work with the tiny pieces. This one was just right. I was delighted when I went looking through my stash of stuff to find something to make the balls on the hat and skirt to find the perfect glue-on gems.

Marketing Fakarts



I designed this fake company one night in a fit of disgust at all the cliches I was seeing in Somerset Studio and Cloth Paper Scissors magazines. I was going to put a lot of work into making actual "artwork" that would demonstrate all the cliches and then send it into to Somerset Studio, but I decided it would be hard to tell the parody from some people's art. Instead I dashed off this flyer and sent it to my sister, thus getting it out of my system.
