Oops
I'm not the most graceful of people and tend to bump into things and fumble delicate objects. I also have a fear of heights and hate being close to edges of high places. I always envision myself tripping and falling over the edge. This series is a reflection of these fears and my lack of coordination, but it also reflects my carefree attitude and easygoing personality.
This piece is part of my "falling" series . It's a 11x14" collage with an altered mat.
The mat has been altered using stencils, stencil paste, and paint. The mat has a wonderful raised texture to it.

Oh No! I've Been Tagged!
I was tagged by http://www.mtjoyschool.blogspot.com/yesterday. Here are the rules…..
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.
2. Share 7 facts about YOU: some random, some weird...all devastatingly interesting.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them).
4. Let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment at their blogs.
Facts About Me.
1. I can burp the alphabet.
2. I’m terrified of cockroaches.
3. I love puns. Whenever I need to send a card for a b-day, holiday, etc it usually involves a pun. My Halloween costumes are often puns as well. One year I wore a black trash bag and went as “white trash”.
4. I think counselors, social workers, psychiatrists, etc. are all a little crazy.
5. I have an earned Master’s degree in Professional Counseling but don’t practice (yes, I’m a little crazy myself). :)
6. I’m a big homebody. I would prefer to rent a movie than go to the theatre.
7. I love cold weather. I’d prefer to be freezing than hot any day.
The following are the people that I chose to torture with this “tag”.

My Thrift Store and Antiquing Adventure
I have been inspired by the blogs of Sarah Blank http://www.sarahblankstudios.com/blog/ and Marmeecraft http://marmeecraft.blogspot.com and how they share their inspirations behind their work. I have decided to share with all of you some of my inspirations and some of the ideas behind my work. The following are the results of my weekend thrift store and antiquing adventures. Both of these purchases inspired a new mixed media piece.
The above plaque I found at a thrift store in my town. It's 11x19" and made of ceramic. I got it for 50 cents!! I couldn't believe it. I just love the image! These are some doilies and lace that I picked up at a local antique shop. Antique shopping is one of my favorite things to do and I often find it hard to walk out empty handed. Often when I'm feeling the need for inspiration, I wander into my local antique shops to find my muse. Works every time!

Two Deer and a Tree
This is another version of my "Two Deer and a Tree" prints. This one was silkscreened onto a decoartive paper and then I stamped the outer mat.
