What happened to using up all the stuff I already have?


I spent this last weekend in Twin Falls Idaho while my husband attended a National Ski Patrol meeting. I was going to stay home and work on some art projects but when he asked if I wanted to come along, that one of his buddies wives was going and was looking for someone to go to garage sales and thrift shops, I couldn't pass that one up!



This pile of "stuff" is from my friend Marsha who had an art business that is no more. She had a sale where you could fill a bag for $10. I stuffed mine with so much stuff, I gave her $15! Now my husband is threatening to call hoarders, so I better use it up.  Which I will since I have a lot of shows coming up, so no more shopping for now...just playing with it all and creating some new objects 'd art!

New Work

Collage/Assemblage of one of my favorite pastimes, as well as most artists and teachers I know. $50

This purple piece is made in a cigar tin, with a credit card cut for the frame surrounding a postage stamp from England. Beads and baubles surround the image and a dusting of gold unifies the piece. In keeping with my Alphabet theme, I have named it Purple Pence. (the postage stamp is marked 6 1/2 pence) $25SOLD
