Collaging

I have always loved working with cut paper and collaging. In high school I used to do intricate cut paper pieces using old magazines. I think I have some old slides of them -- I will have to find them.

I've missed it, especially while reading books to Violet by Kate Toms...I have been completely inspired by her work. I wanted to take a different route this year with my holiday cards but didn't really have the time or the space to actually cut out my materials, so I did it virtually and had such a great time with it. My apologies to my husband, Cousin Mandy, and Violet if I was a bit less available today -- I was *really* excited about creating for the first time in a while. Once I get inspired I love creating, but the problem has been lately that I haven't been inspired. Now I am really on a roll. I just had so much fun! Perhaps if Cousin Mandy weren't sleeping in my workspace (I'm on my laptop right now, which isn't as conducive to design as my desktop) I'd be doing even more of this super fun stuff!

I am not going to spoil the surprise of my holiday card or my sister's holiday card (you can see it after the holidays or request I send you one -- and I will!) but above is one that didn't make the cut (no pun intended), just to give you an idea of the style I am working with.

Fun with Photos

I have been having a lot of fun updating photos in my Etsy shop and doing some product styling. Check out my shop for more photos and some new products now available!

Upcoming Events

I've got a couple of events in the Boston area over the next couple of weeks. No new work (unfortunately) but at least I'll be out and about.

First up is the 1st Annual LexFUN! Marketplace on Thursday, November 10th - 4pm-7pm at the Church of St. Brigid, 2001 Massachusetts Avenue, Lexington, MA.

Second is the Art & Craft Benefit Sale for the Brighton Public Library. This will be held on November 12 from 10am-2pm in the Community Room at the Brighton Public Library. We'll be donating 15% of all sales to Friends of Brighton Public Library -- because we love libraries! Please visit the site for more information about things to look forward to the day of the event as well as the vendors who will be participating.

I do hope to see you there, but if you can't make it, you can always go shopping for my wares on Etsy. 

Thank you for your continued support and I look forward to creating more art soon. The ideas are there, I just need to execute!
