Brian Eno & David Byrne "Strange Overtones"

Was delighted to hear this little diddy on my way to hobby lobby to pick up some toggles. I got two cute little jewelry toggles- one is shaped like a flower and the other is a leaf... can't wait to make some new pieces... :)

DEEP layers...


I have had this canvas for a while. It has many deep layers. So here it sits in my parent's garage untouched and unloved. I tried to find the gesso to prime it for another piece but don't feel like moving the ladder about- it's heavy!

Many moons ago... dark and lovely

I will always treasure this box. It was my aunt's when she was little and I adopted it when i was a wee one- i've had it for many moons and this is proof that my art takes on different themes and personalities as i age ... this box was made with passion and pain. I have endured pain's darkest hour. As i sit here and listen to Deva I have come a L-O-N-G way from healing many aspects of myself through meditation, hands on healing, prayer, energy work, putting my life into a spritual master's hands, and surrendering to the will of God. Fibromyalgia can be healed.

ps. I have a thing with women's faces. They cover my body and are often a theme in my collage art.

Bug Haiku


A bug in the air.
A bug flying in my hair.
Bug in my brown curls.

Feisty in my head

I am unable to get feist out of my head all weeeeek. She's been playing in my head non stop! And wouldn't you know it this lovely song was playing at my friends party as soon as i delicately pushed open her screen door...

lily for you.


I give a lily to you. This lily of mine was featured in International tattoo magazine last year. The artist is Karl Schneider and you can check out his portfolio at cactustattoo.com. I also have a pin-up design by the Chicago based artist Mitch O' Connell that is featured in Karl's portfolio.
Despite being hormonal and extremely overwhelmed by modern technology I am still able to type these words and click "publish post". (Actually i have had to go back and edit a 5 times!) Between the self check out at wally world and viewing Toy Story 3 a girl is technologically exhausted. For such a simple girl viewing a movie in the theater is something that happens very rarely! I wanted to share this lily with you that is near and dear to my sensitive heart before i lay my head on my pillow and begin to dream...

Felt flowers & Ocean Jasper...


My mum surprised me with this beautiful handmade felt pressed flower today. What a nice surprise! All of these designs are 100% unique and no 2 are ever duplicated. Also I picked up some Ocean Jasper today to make a new necklace... along with some medium heavy wire and some clasps. I had a lovely dinner ( fresh beets and wild caught salmon with rice and black beans) and made some marinated salmon with fresh lemon juice, organic garlic, tomatoes, and cilantro that i picked at the market... it was a bit wilted but it did the job and I love knowing the farmer who grew it :) I look forward to lunch tomorrow! What a beautiful day i couldn't of asked for more! Okay- well maybe well wishes for the man who was planted in the middle of the street during rush hour with his flashers on to be carried away to a far off distant land...
