Wall Art with Fiber Paste, Stamps, and Paint
Instead of sketching a design, I’ll often cut out paper and play around with the pieces until I like the composition. In keeping with my New Year’s resolution to rid my home of mass produced art, I made this simple wall art for my downstairs powder room. The more I […]
More Butterfly Canvases
These two butterfly canvases are available on my Etsy shop for medical research. All proceeds from my shop are donated to research for Cockayne Syndrome. My little boy, Knox, was diagnosed with this extremely rare disease when he was 8 months old. He’ll be celebrating his 3rd birthday this July, […]
‘Free’ Mixed-Media Butterfly Canvas
This small black 4″x 4″canvas is one of my many “tried to do something on here but it didn’t work’” canvases that I have lying around. Today it got a make-over. First, I covered it with a thin layer of fiber paste. Taking this pretty silk butterfly, I gently removed […]

Valentine Mini Canvas With Quiver and Arrows
This girl is a blogger in the making and no mistake. My daughter recently started a notebook entitled “Blue, Purple, and Scarlett” in which she is compiling ideas for my blog. Is that cool or what? Guess I can sit back and relax now that I have a project manager. […]
More Mini Canvases with Fiber Paste and Paper Clay
Just like my last mini canvases I covered these with fiber paste. This time I also sprinkled them with sparkly fine glitter while they were still wet and set painted dried grape stems on top. My kids are so funny! Every time they finish up a bunch of grapes they […]
