Playing with slide mounts


well, apparently the gel medium is not dry yet. 'work' is on a piece of acetate and the chess piece is from an envelope someone sent me a long time ago. do i keep everything? why, as a matter of fact, i do!

Playing with slide mounts


slide mount i painted a long time ago and never used. the bar code is from a reorder tag i found somewhere and the 'R' is a zetti alphabet stamp

someone sent me this cutout of a slide mount. i would love to find the die they used to cut it. it is much more precise than what i do with a pencil and scissors

Patty's Thich Nhat Hanh calendar June 09

the final single page. i love birds and nests and eggs almost as much as i love hearts. played with the gesso resist again and the crayons and some stenciling for "fragile". rub on letters for the other words. i labeled the eggs for clarity. i hope you like it, Patty.

this is about as scribbly/doodly as i get. again with the hearts. they were my starting place for this one. i did a bit of gesso resist and played with my water soluble crayons and found a typewriter-like font and put a couple of little list type things on there. sort of a downer, but i hope not too much. the words are sort of down, but the picture is pretty, yes?

Patty's Thich Nhat Hanh calendar June 09

i looked through a somerset studios publication (don't remember which one) and got inspired to do a heart on a white gesso background type thing. i love hearts and would use them in every spread if i didn't think it would bother other people after the millionth one! it reads, "love gives you wings."

i went with the asian theme again. it seems like i've been doing that a lot in the last few journals. just sort of jumbled chinese and japanese. i like it.

Patty's Thich Nhat Hanh calendar June 09

the first page of the pretty pretty Thich Nhat Hanh calendar journal i worked in for June. all i did was to add the bird. sometimes the art is so beautiful i just don't want to do much to it. i sure hope Patty likes a FAT book because this one is only half way through the year and it is so fat it doesn't even remember how to close.
