took a much needed computer break and enjoyed sticky fingers for a bit. finally finished this little collage i started months ago. just in time to display at the wedding show this weekend. i love taking special photos to a different place with my collage work. the images become dreamy as i add layers of texture and color. am looking forward to dark winter days, passing the slow time in my art room. sipping tea and making a fabulous mess. nothing like the smell of warm beeswax to warm a winter day.
above panel is 6"x6" and 1.5" deep. materials: photograph, textured paper, paint, vintage lace, a tiny button, plaster birds, jewels, resin and beeswax. all from my collection of favorite little things. to see a few more read this and that. oh, and this is my very favorite one!

I'm so glad you're coming back to Maine! I can hardly wait!

Oh Heather, you are so wonderful! When I clicked on "oh, and this is my very favorite one!" and saw the beeswax collage of me, I had to choke back tears. Thank you for continually making me feel like the most special bride in the universe!!!

Wouldn't that be the best, to have tea in person?!? Why do all these states in between have to get in our way? Hey, I just booked a wedding in Chicago so I am getting a little closer.

Well, at least you realize you're driving me nuts. If I lived within driving distance, I would show up at your studio and demand your art. Okay, totally kidding, but I would stop by for some coffee and/or tea. :) I'm patiently waiting here in Michigan!

Heather--you're killing me while I wait for our piece of art to arrive. I know you're crazy busy, but I simply cannot wait to hang ours on the wall!
