I am so excited and honored

today Ranger Ink (one of my favorite companies) featured my project on their blog.  I made a mini book for my Dad for Father’s Day.  I used Claudine Hellmuths Multi Medium to transfer an image of the town where I was born onto watercolor paper.  It worked fabulously!  Here is the link to the project: http://rangerink.com/studio-moments-with-dad-mini-book/

This is the photo image transfer page that you see through the cover of the book. It is from Birmingham, England the town I was born in.

a new beginning

I had a blog, I still have it, I started it in 2007.

It eventually evolved into the stores blog,  I found I could not keep up with the daily posts so I handed it over for someone else to write it. Giving up the daily blog posts gave me back some much needed time to run the store and create classes.

In time I found that I missed my blog, my little corner of the web where I could sometimes show a piece of art or write something funny.

So today I am starting a new blog, just for me, a new beginning . . . .
