Sis Boom Day Dreams

Thank you Ellen!!!

Wow , opening the mail today I felt I'd won the lottery!! I have long admired owls of every kind!! They intrigue me! Lately I've gotten into funky vintage ones! So I noticed these on Ellen Crimi-Trent's blog the other day and I flipped .....they are so cool! Her collages are so sweet and she is so talented in every aspect of design and she has little kids running around!!!!....How does she do it???? I'm just glad we struck up a friendship when she reached out and wondered how the blog thing worked and we have been friends ever since then. I like her energy and can tell she is a very good soul!! So look at me now, the very lucky me, with a signed print of Miss Ellens. What a hoot!!!!!!!!...oh I just couldn't resist...Thanks Ellen I love it all!

That was fun!

There's still time!!!! Winner is decided at 8pm tonight so get in on the raffle...Winner will be announced Monday!! In the meantime this is what I'm working on now ...the Holiday Suitcases for your favorite ornament stash!!! Decoupage (I use Mod Podge) an old suitcase with old storybook pages and don't forget to show and tell!! Also thank you for the lovely comments on the previous Casey Scroll Collection..it is going to be a big hit!!!

Bonanza

So many responses to collaging that I thought I'd add some that have been infused in photoshop ...I tell you this has been quite the education and it has certainly enhanced my creativity so glad that I gave it a shot....

Setting the Stage

To some this may look like childs play and it is...So much occurs when I collage the list of my favorite things....Here I go borrowing images from current magazines that will become fodder for inspiration....I love to take my time all while I collect the images are being pressed into my brain becoming the repetoire of images that will make up my next fabric and paper designs....I love doing these pages they have become my sourcebook of ideas....So I thought I'd show you the process where by I collect, cut, collage and paste creating compositions that really resonate with me......These images like sheet music to a musician become
the elements upon which I build my sensibility as an artist...

Sensibility

Over the weekend I created some mood boards to focus on my ideas throughout the upcoming year and I wanted to share them with all my fellow bloggers as a way to focus ideas that inspire all year round...thanks everyone for your loyalty, very busy getting ready to introduce Mod Girls fabric line out in Salt Lake City.. so I appreciate the overwhelming support from family,friends,colleagues and fellow bloggers....enjoy them and drop me a line.....
