Cloth Paper Scissors: Down Under

The July/August issue of Cloth Paper Scissors is all about artful travel and journaling on the go.

 Cloth Paper Scissors Magazine at North Light Shop

One of the articles is all about the 2016 trip to Australia taken by the Art is You Down Under Road Show.

This special 6-page feature includes personal memories and photos from my traveling mates Michael deMeng, Kecia Deveney, Andrea Matus deMeng, John Creighton Peterson and myself. 

Looking like an art journal itself, this article sums up why connecting with a group of artists can be life-changing.

Art Deck 2

I have recently begun a project called Art Deck where I am creating 52 small works of art, offered for sale at accessible prices ($35-$55). As small groupings are made, they will be posted on my blog and social media sites, and uploaded in my online shop for purchase. You can see the first 11 pieces here and my newest 3 below.

my newest artist book

Art Deck 1

I love working small. It is my comfort zone and my go-to for when I am just playing in the studio. There is something about a compact canvas that I find freeing rather than restricting. Yesterday, I got in the zone and started a new project which I am calling Art Deck. 52 small pieces of art.

Today I am posting the first 11 pieces. I will be selling each "card" in the deck individually for between $35 and $55 (including postage if you are in the US/plus postage if you are International). Most measure 4 x 4 inches but in this first grouping they range from 3.5 x 3.25 to 8 x 2 inches. Many are built on paper while some are layered on vintage book cover slices.

As each grouping is ready, I will post images on my blog and announce the sale on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Each piece is available for purchase through my online shop.

Thanks for browsing the gallery!

Travel the World...

The International Tournament of Art & Craft

Travel with me around the world with the International Tournament of Art & Craft. This online adventure runs for six weeks and is completely free to join. Every week a group of international artists will present a challenge based on the culture of a different continent.  They provide a guide to follow so you can create a project, share their own artwork, and offer videos and step-out instructions so you can learn new skills. There are giveaways every week as well.

Week 1 - Europe

Week 2 - Asia

I am happy to be one of the artists participating in Asia Week. 

Head over to the challenge page and you will find a link to a step-by-step tutorial for binding this mini-book. While you are there, check out all the work and join the challenge!
