The D in the box is for my Mom. The box is an old jewelry box with clear top |
My muse had taken a bit of time off after Stamford's Art Is You.
So,after some much needed rest, my muse and I are back in the studio!
Going nonstop,we are throwing paint and paper all over,finishing up projects,gifts and making new pieces!
Mostly we are just playing around and having fun!
*********
If you have a few minutes, I have some pieces to share ")
"Little Folks" shrine was inspired by an online class I took with Lesley Venable.
This photo reminds me of my Mom,Dolores and her sister Jean.
I think the hardest part for me was the auditioning...I started with so many pieces,till I found what worked just right.
My first shrine- and I loved making it!
The above piece I made for a friend,using some previously worked papers.
I think this would make nice cards.
was inspired by my recent class with Seth Apter !
I just love these colors and textures!
Just wish I had gone larger with this one |
Jessica Sporn's class, The Sky's the Limit
can't you just feel that moon glow?
I can-teehee!
I truly am pleased with my final canvas!
And for my last share today...
This is a muslin bag that I tried my first attempt at photo transfer on- and failed!
Not to be dismayed, I took the photo-my beautiful lady by Maxfield Parrish- and decided to adhere her to the bag with matte medium. For the framing of her, I used some really gorgeous National Geographic /Citrasolve papers that my dear friend Becky Wentworth sent to me. I used some of my favorites which remind me of Klimt. Again, I used matte medium to glue down all papers and seal it. Later, I went back with some gold paint to highlight a few areas and added another coat of sealer.
The finished bag feels like a soft leather and flexes nicely ,with no cracking!
Thanks so much for viewing today- I'll be back tomorrow with more and a step by step on another finished piece! Sending creative thoughts and wishes

What a wonderful post Jackie. LOVE the shrine - how inspiring! I agree that the sunshine piece would make great cards, too. The colour in your cityscape is fabulous, and of course, being such a Klimt fan, I'm all over your muslin bag piece. You are having WAY too much fun with your muse in high gear - good on you.
Love that assemblage and of course your cityscape. Wow xox
Jackie such a wonderful pieces, I couldn't choose which is my favourite, I loved all of them, loved the bag, the shrine and your canvases are wonderful! Good to see you back in action!
WOW have you and your muse been busy. What amazing pieces. I love the shrine. I can't wait to see more!
I love all of your pieces here, Jackie! Your house assemblage is my favorite, but they all reflect your true talent and dedication to your art. Way to go!!
WOWSA Jackie.....high gear is an understatement :-) L-O-V-E everything. The houses collage came out incredible! The way you made the moon hazy and iridescent is lovely, and I love all the shading on the windows and doors! Also the spires on some of the buildings really add a uniqueness and interest. The shrine is something else… Your mother would be honored! The Seth inspired piece has amazing textures and crisp bright colors… Can't stop looking at it! Fantastic work as always XO
