Bay of Fundy Scapes

The weather's warming up (finally!), so I'm starting to think of summer, and supplying my East Coast galleries.  I had a commission to make an 8x10" piece using photos of Passamaquoddy Bay in the St. Andrew by-the-Sea area in New Brunswick, so I got to work and made four (using photos I took on my last trip there, in 2007).  It's been months since I've used this technique, so it was nice to get back to it.  I'll be doing alot more of this over the spring and summer.

 

Rainbow Diaper Bag

I don't get a chance to make bags very often.  Here's a diaper bag I made recently for a friend who had a beautiful baby girl a few weeks ago, and who loves rainbows and tropical birds.

Thread-sketched Hopewell Rocks

I miss the East Coast suddenly!  I used to live just down the road from Hopewell Rocks, New Brunswick.  I've done a series of thread sketches of the Rocks over the years, and here are new thread-sketched cards (printed cards, stitched through in thread).

The Wendy Johnston Pottery (now known as Art Effects Fine Craft Gallery) carries all of my Hopewell Rocks artwork in the area.  Check out their website:  http://wendyjohnstonpottery.com/

 

My new Kindle cover

I have a second Kindle now, so I had to make myself a second Kindle cover...

Mycological Philately (aka Mushroom Stamps)

Same idea as the buggy stamp abstracts, but with mushroom stamps instead. 

Same Old...

I took it easy over the holidays, and didn't do much work, creative or otherwise.  The few pieces that came out of this break are in the same style as the past few months: abstracts, mostly gnarled tree roots and buggy stamps.

Christmas Cards

My Christmas cards this year reflect the materials and techniques I've been experimenting with the past while: abstract paper collage, postage stamps, rubber stamping (this is new).
