PEACEMAKER
Well, he's the King of the Blues. Birds that are blue, that is; or the funky, benevolent ruler. You decide. I just do the art.

This is a mixed media collage on black mat board. It measures 8 X 10. It has paper clippings, fancy papers, rubber stamps and ink, lots of gesso and gel medium, mica water colors, vellum, tape transfers, and a bit of postal ephemera. It was nice to be able to get some collage in before the semester gets too hectic.

SPARKLE TWINKLE: ALTERED BOOK FOR DAUGHTERS OF A DOG COLLABORATIVE PROJECT
This is my altered book for the Daughters of a Dog collaborative project on Deviant Art (deviantart.com). I used a paper catalog that was nicely done with heavy bond paper samples all attached together with a chain and contained within a sleeve. I had to spray mount some of the pages together to get a good thickness for my work. It is turning out good. I am ready to put it in the mail to the other daughters tomorrow.

There was a lot of tissue paper and gesso used, along with tape transfers, vintage photos, paper clippings, rubber stamps/ink, frottage, packing tape, gold and silver leafing, doo-dads of metal and paper, etc., and glitter; lots of glitter!
