I took a palette knife and covered a mini canvas with Fiber Paste, turning the knife in different directions to create a rough texture. Here it is dried… Then I took some PaperClay and sculpted some hearts and wings. This is the same stuff I used to make my tiny […]

Marbled Paper Owl Collages
The scraps of paper left over from my kid’s autumn trees were so cool, I had to do something with them. I cut out some owl designs and made three collages. Love the texture of the paint! The long pieces are scraps left over from the leaves we […]
Dancer in White
I was sorting through some scraps and happened to notice one in particular. It had a really nice oval shape of torn paper left on it…. Sometimes, your trash can be so inspiring! I found an old sketch of a dancer on vellum. We did a unit years ago on the […]

It’s funny because we’ve never grown strawberries, let alone made anything that resembles a condiment out of them. But she’s not one to let lack of […]
Tiny Oceans

They are little glass covered frames that you can put your miniature creations in: poems, collages, photos, keepsakes,etc… And then wear it as a charm on a necklace or bracelet. You can also hang […]
