Music and Flowers!

Completed a 4" by 6" mixed media postcard for a swap at Milliande.com - a community for women interested in creating art. Now I'm not saying that I'm an artist...far from that. But I do love to create! So I attempted this project. I think it turned out nice, but that is my opinion!


The following is my process for this piece:
• Glued a sheet of music to a heavier card stock
• Rubbed ink pads over music; use light browns and yellow; rubbed all with a paper towel.
• Used acrylic paint for the flowers; clear coat over all.
• Using a 4" x 6" frame, I decided where I wanted to cut for the postcard.

'Beyond the Face is a Heart'

I recently completed an Artist Trading Card [ATC] swap of an Annual Family Retreat for the Children's Craniofacial Association. The organization assists with financial assistance to children traveling to surgery; i.e. airfare, hotel rooms, gas, and food costs. The families sometimes travel multiple times a year and are missing work. The assistance helps to ease the burden for the families. The Program Director will be including an ATC when she mails checks to families for assistance. The ATC will be a 'good luck charm' to take to the hospital for IV treatment or surgery.

The ATC sent by the people participating in the swap will be given to the children as a reminder that 'Beyond the Face is a Heart' and to know that there are others interested in them.

Stained Glass Update!

It has been a few weeks since I've stopped in at The Attic Window to let you know what's been happening.

I've been working on a piece of stained glass for a sidelight beside a front door that measures 66 3/4 inches long and 8 inches wide. Cutting, fitting and re-fitting until all the glass was cut and fitted the way I wanted. Watch those fingers! Then to foil all the pieces and that took some time. But it goes fairly fast when you can watch a movie or two. Finely that was done, then back to the table and putting the puzzle back together.



Now the fun begins! Soldering the pieces together.
