This was a fun project from Helen Hiebert’s class at Sitka. Start with 4.5″ x 6″ card stock and create a design. I’ve been looking at all the beautiful growth on an Oregon Ash outside my front door. Next step is to cut away the negative space. You can create as many panels as youContinue reading “Paper Lantern”

The phrase I received this year: She advocates for peace. What I came up with…. Peace symbols are cut paper stitched together and hanging from a top bar inside the frame, acting like a quilt. Background is watercolor and pencil. Same frame as last year. Reception is on Thursday June 3 at the Corvallis publicContinue reading “she project 2010”

Typically my father creates a fabulous card to invite extended family members to the event. Wine flows freely along with copious amounts of crab, wonderful green salad and bread from the MetropolContinue reading “crabs descending print”
stalled project
Something interesting has started growing on my pig gut. Another artist had asked if there were problems with things growing on or consuming the pig/hog intestine sculptures after drying. Organic materials… you never know! On initial thought, I replied “No”. However I should probably revise that answer. After four or five days of drying, myContinue reading “stalled project”
