Memphis Taproom

I will be showing/selling some art at this event. I'll provide more details as the date gets closer.

The Mix Tape In Your Heart

Or rather, mix CD. I adore making mix CD's with handmade art/liner notes. I only do so for people who either reciprocate, or appreciate it for the beautiful art of sharing music and sentiment that it is. (I've had people who disregard it or don't "get it", unfortunately.)
Recently, I had occasion to practice the art again. It's titled the "Dead Flowers Mix" ala the Rolling Stones song, so I made a cover from watercolor and dried flowers.

The Porcelain Doll's Black Void

A fun little piece done in crayola.

Recycled Art

This is a mirror I found from the garage at my house and revamped a while back. It was my sister's mirror she junked. Originally, it was painted white with butterflies on it. I sanded and repainted it to this:

Black Dove

My first foray into origami:





I have horrible 3D spacial relation. The fact that this came out looking like it was supposed to impressed me!

Failed Attempts At Tea Painting

I attempted to paint a wash on paper with black tea. In my head, it stained nicely, giving the paper an aged affect. In practice, not so much. The tea wasn't dark enough to stain the paper to my liking. It would have been a nice recyclable art material had it worked. (I get black tea when I order Chinese, but I don't drink tea.)
Instead, I took a bic to paper. And here is the end result:

Title- Burning Memory
Execution- Lighter, white drawing paper, colored pencil,micron pen.

Long Time No Blog

Expect a more detailed update on my art happenings in the very near future. I've been on an experimentation hiatus.
