This is a heart mosaic, my interpretation of a painting called Blazing Heart.

I made this scarf yesterday and today. I love the colors, and it was a quick project. Maybe a class?
Both of the mosaics are just glued, and have to be grouted when dry.


Day of the Dead, inspired by a picture in an art catalog. This was fun to do.


Mirror, made with tile from Morrow Steiner.

This book is also an art journal. It's 6" by 8", also has watercolor paper pages. The pages are different sizes in this one. In both books I presmudged many of the pages, to avoid the mental block I may get with new white sheets.


This book is 8" by 10", filled with watercolor paper, and bound with coptic stitching. I used canvas boards as the cover. It's meant to be an art journal.

This is the first time I've used MS Paint to draw a picture. I then printed it on fabric, and appliqued it to the Artist Trading Cards, which are little teeny quilts.


This is the last fabric book page I'll make for the Running With Scissors challenge. It's made from fabric transfers, and pen drawing.

Today I spent the day learning to make books. I made a simple pamphlet, an accordion book, A Japanese bound book, and one I can't remember, and a canvas pamphlet book.
