Somerset Studio Magazine!

Yes, it's been almost a year since I posted here. I've missed my online friends!

I've put aside digital art, for the most part, to concentrate on "hands-on" mixed media art in addition to my usual art journaling. One serendipitous result: A collage I created will appear in the new July/August issue of Somerset Studio. The challenge was to create art with a paper doll theme. The issue comes out tomorrow (July 1). The magazine is usually sold at Barnes and Noble, Michael's, Joann, Queen's Ink, etc.

My Guest Post for "Create Mixed Media"

My guest blog post for "Create Mixed Media" has been posted today! This blog is part of a website owned by F+W Media, Inc., publishers of North Light Books. The tutorial explains the type of technique I used in my journal page that was published in their book "Art Journal Kickstarter."

You can take a peek at my post here.

Sunday Postcard Art: Strong Women

I've been taking a little bit of a break, I guess. But this theme sounded interesting, and it's something new.

Take a Word: Hot Colors

Even though the skies here in Maryland have been quite gray lately, summer is usually a season of intensely bright colors: flowers, butterflies, ripe fruit, oceans, pools, fireworks. Here is my tribute to those colors.
