This is a recent "playing around" that I did. I splashed water colores on a piece of heavy water color paper then stamped in black permanent ink, cut the eye from an old stamp catalog, then added a piece of thin vellum on top with brads. Last I stamped See on the vellum. It's too large to be called a card and I don't want to frame it as it will not allow the vellum to be lifted so it's just sitting here waiting to be used for something!

A fabric collage I made for my dear friend Lin -- a while back -- fabric and mixed media.

I needed to do something lighthearted one day so decided to start with a piece from a playful Bill Tippie watercolor experiment, I added a bit more color here and there, sewed a couple of bring fabric scraps to the wc paper, then sewed a piece of fabric over heavy wc paper and attached a fabric hook which doesn't show in the picture above. Then I sewed some fabric scraps to the bottom, added some beads on a ribbon, a teal glass "dangle" and Mary, the owner of The Damselfly shop loved it -- so -- my Frivolity piece is sold but I can make lots more if anyone is interested in hanging a bit of frivolity in their home or office!

This was a fun collage I recently sold. I started with an easel back (the kind that are in the back of an 8x10 phtoto frame). I had a couple of extras from when I was into picture framing. I wrapped it with a piece of fabric -- an already collaged print(!). On top I layered a painting I'd done at a class in NC. To it I sewed pieces of fabric, mesh, and a hand made and painted clay heart with the words Believe on it (received in an online swap).
