I just love this mini frame collage. It is sooo cool!! Thanks Joan!!

ART Quiltie and Pity Party Fan

Over on one of my Yahoo Groups I was participating in an ART Quiltie mingle and a Pity Party Fan mingle. I have never made a quiltie before. The recipient has a passion for crows. I was at a loss until I chose the 2 main fabrics. It seemed to take off from there. :) I am very happy with the finished product.

On this same group, the moderator was hosting an ART retreat. Those of us unable to attend had ourselves a "Pity Party". We were to make either a pinwheel or a fan. Some chose to make an ARTsy version, some a humorous "pity" version. Well you know me.....I chose the pity version. I plundered through my big collage book of snippets and inspirations to come up with this. I used an old political fan that I collaged on top of. Enjoy!!

Another new Iris Fold for a challenge

I made this pink bunny iris fold mixed media collage today. It is for a challenge over at my friend Autumn's blog. She provided the bunny template and we are challenged to use it in an ART piece. This is my interpretation. The Collage, titled "HOP" is 8 x 10 and is listed in my Etsy shop.

I photographed the collage hanging from my Fringe Tree, which is beyond gorgeous right now. Here are a couple of shots of her too!! :::smiles:::
