i’ve sold a few pieces in my etsy shop [yay!] so i started working on a few new artworks to fill out my available space.

the two latest collages are african-american, fashion inspired [yeah yeah… what else is new?] pieces and i think they turned out quite cool. but you can be the judge of that =)

enjoy…

i finished my Marie Antoinette triptych today and uploaded the frothy, candy-colored collage to ETSY. now i’ll just have to wait and see if she sells.

i secretly hope not. i love this series. such fun colours and loads of texture both visually and tactilely.

terry like this series too, so much he’s encouraged me to hang it up here at home… so now it’s hanging in my upstairs hallway where i can see it from the living room and everytime i walk down the hallway. love that. love that he is so supportive and enjoys my art too. i’m a lucky, lucky girl.

here they are…

i’m working on a fun series of collages right now… 10×10 cradled hardboard canvasses [now my favorite canvas].

the collages are evolving into a triptych of Marie Antoinette yumminess. the background includes vintage ledger paper, french apothecary labels, old book pages and vintage letters. the entire piece is then washed in lovely colour.

i love the candy-coloured palette of these pieces with their sorbet pinks, violets and yellows. so yummy! just like the clothes and shoes in the marie antoinette movie by sofia coppolla. seriously. i love that movie… complete and utter eye candy. i could just have it running in the background all day long <sigh>.

the first of three panels from the triptych has been posted on ETSY and the other two will follow over the next few days. enjoy.

i hope you like them.

i finished off the last 4 collages this evening and they are available on ETSY for your viewing [and buying] pleasure.

i’m loving the way these came together. great color, great texture and [imho] i think they turned out really beautiful. hope you all think so too.

i’m now working on 3-4 10×10 hardboard canvasses [these canvasses are so great and love the rigid quality of the support!]. these new pieces should be available soon, hopefully in a few days or later this week.

carmi: i know you’re reading this… start watching for a ‘french’ parisienne theme =) get those croissants and that lovely french loose tea ready!

in the meantime, GO SHOPPING. buy some art and enjoy the eye candy!

hello on a lovely sunday afternoon, from mixed up, confused [weather wise] richmond bc!

well, i’ve finally finished some of the artwork i’ve had on my studio tables and they are now available on ETSY. i’ve posted 3 new quartet collages and have 4 other pieces almost ready for photographing and posting this evening.

recently, i’ve been working with vintage and stock fashion image transfers and i gotta say that i just love the juxtaposition of the beauty shots with old papers, vintage looking rub-ons, glazed colours and image transfers. so yummy! through the processes i’ve used, i been able to create really rich, layered pieces that [imho] are interesting, unique and hold a slightly mysterious and romantic quality about them.

three things in collage are really important to me:

1. colour - it’s gotta be rich. yummy. wanna-dive- into good.
2. texture - visual or actual touchable texture, it’s gotta be there
3. text - subtle or in your face. it can speak volumes without saying a word. love that.

i hope you like them!

Morning…

I’ve be working on a series of original, mixed media collages that will be available this week through my seldom used [but I plan on changing that!] ETSY store.

The artworks are all based on gorgeous, fashion ephemera culled from my stash of 80s and 90s fashion magazines, with restricted colour palettes and utilize acid-free art papers, stamping and inks with vintage ledger papers and more.

The first of about 12 pieces coming this week is now up in the store… Comments about the artwork are most welcome. Thanks for looking.
