Sunday Postcard Art: Spooky

I can hardly believe it's October already! Sunday Postcard Art has challenged us to make "spooky" art. Here's my attempt.

"Order of the Opus Gluei" challenge: Time

During my break, I started creating mini-collages with some of my Gelli prints (they were taking over my house!). So I thought I'd enter a couple of "hands-on" art challenges in addition to digital ones. This one is for the "Opus Gluei" challenge theme of "Time."
The collage was hand-created with altered map and clock images, Gelli print strips, and altered chipboard for the dimensional clock. I added the word "Time" digitally.

 

I'm Back! Presenting Collage Obsession: Diva

I'm finally back after my long break. I missed my online friends so much that I just had to jump back into the challenges after my busy summer. I decided, however, not to continue on the design teams for Collage Obsession and Soartful. This will give me more time to devote to the hands-on art I've been doing lately, in addition to participating in some of the digital challenges again. Thanks to all my blogging friends who kept in touch with me!

Here's my collage for this week's Diva challenge at the newly revived Collage Obsession site. Thank you, Kirsi, for keeping this challenge going. We were given the image of the woman, and I added the animals (divas themselves, apparently) and other touches.

Soartful Challenge: Eyeglasses/Spectacles

It's my turn again to host the Soartful challenge. Here's my creation for the month of August--see if you can spot all of the eyeglasses!  Please stop by Soartful and participate, or just browse the creative art that people are posting.

Taking a Break

To my faithful readers:

It just occurred to me that I haven't posted anything on this blog for a while. Hopefully this hiatus will be temporary. This is quite a busy summer for me. Among other things, I've been preparing to lead another Gelli workshop this Friday; getting ready for our son's August wedding in Austin (designing rehearsal party invitations and photo displays); and doing lots of fun homework for Joanne Sharpe's latest online lettering class (see below). So, digital art has taken a lower priority than usual. Hopefully I'll be back to blogging in the fall, maybe with a somewhat broader focus.

Enjoy the rest of the summer!
