Cutting Books and Peeling Paper
I apologize for my tardiness this week. Things just got away from me. That does mean that I have been busier than ever. I have been cutting up books! I have posted some pictures on Instagram showing my progress. I have "harvested" six Time Life Encyclopedias of Gardening. Now I have a stack of images to draw upon when I need a new greeting card or even an Art Journal.
🧵 From the Worktable
This week I concentrated on the images but this weekend I will be focusing on more totes. I still have about half of the stack of "triptychs" to peel free of paper. I am hoping to make one tote per panel of sample fabrics. More to come later!
🎬 New Video Drop
This past week, I uploaded two videos. One is the fifth in the "Visiting the Nest" series. Watch here!
In the other video I recorded myself painting 16 ACEO's. I sped up the video and then Jo and I recorded ourselves chatting about the painting. Watch here!
