Wonderful Gift

Don't you just LOVE sketchbooks? Traudi, an Artist friend from my workshop, surprised me with this gorgeous one!!! Pages are 9.5" x 7" of very good heavy textured paper. Anyone else afraid of a new sketch book? It looks handmade!

Traudi doesn't have a website so I will paste a few images here with some of her fabulous work

Thanks Traudi!

Collage January 30 x 30 2017

This time I wanted to make my collage using Photoshop. Sometimes life interferes and I didn't have the time and mental energy to cope. Missed the date to link to the challenge site but decided to post anyway.  After several tries, I made an action to resize by batch, brought them in a new doc and moved them around. Next one will be better.  Happy camper!! Have to renew my PS skills!!

Diptych Collage

These were done in my weekly workshop. Two 50 x 50 cm wrapped canvases.  Collage pieces from newsprint. Done with a palette knife.

Have to figure out how to place them together. Probably have to change layout.
