Terrariums. Small Worlds.
I added moss to small, up cycled glass containers to make small worlds. This one has been up significantly longer than the globe. I love how the moss keeps reaching up. I also adore the child figurine. In the background of her terrarium you might be able to see vertical…
White Balloon Series pieces 2 and 3
As you can see, this artwork is painted directly on my clipboard. I’d been using the clipboard as a pallet. One thing led to another and I’d upcycled clip boards into part two and three of the White Balloon Series. Both are 8 x 12 inches. These fully functioning art…

Dental Surgery. Anxiety turned to Beads.
I got to the dentist on time, and they took me back right away. I was awake for the whole thing. I discovered something, I like laughing gas. That stuff is so relaxing. The surgeon told me at one point that he couldn’t numb me anymore bc it’s hard on…
You’re Strength Painting. Next Year’s Art Goals.
It took a month instead of two weeks to complete the painting of sunflowers with the Scripture. When the painting was picked up she ordered one for herself. The other person who saw it ordered one. I’ll be doing them on paper. I seriously do not enjoy canvas. One of…
