Whimsy Journal






A whimsical journal I created this summer.
Made with plaster, and beeswax cover 
front and back. The front is a 
sweet little whimsy angel, and the 
back the tree of life.
Size is 6" x 6" . Pages are 140lbs
hot press watercolor paper with
three sigrnatures.  I use this journal
specifically for whimsies or pulled art.

Thanks everyone for playing, and keep your eyes peel for more contests in the future .








This is a paper clay art doll , and the limbs are attached to body with annealed black
wire.(moveable). She holds a little handcrafted clay art with word "love". All her body parts are in clay , except her little furry necklace, and rhinestone on her hat which were added for a little extra sweetness.

Her two tiny blue shoes have each a little rhinestone.
Found cylindrical objects with writing.They were painted and also crackled and glued ,
on the sides of  a 3 " x 4" x 1 1/2 " wood panel, with a little wooden and semi precious stone on top.
I bought 3 of these panels at a recycling depot , and happy I did. They are perfect for small assemblages.
I love these little panels~

Spring Medlody Mixed Media Handmade book



















This handmade book is
5 1/2" x 9 " , and was created by me using the coptic stitch One of a kind.
The image on the cover is from my painting Spring Melody.which I sold recently. I altered the look of the window, which I quite like. Two paper clay lady bugs are resting on two of the panes, and a bird in flight on the top one. The marker part for holding your page in place has 3 big coral beads on twine at the end to carry you thru the vary last page with your treasure thoughs and secrets. There's a mix of blank,lined, and tibetan paper. On the inside of the front cover is a beautiful patterned batik material, and on back cover a glass mirror flower with hemp stem , adding a special touch to the book. These little round mirrors can be found on traditional east indian clothes, and are called 'shishas'. Look in the mirror,and see your beautiful smile;-) Affirmations at random on front cover.
