On Christmas Eve I was all set to tether myself to my external hard drive (the one that I would save in a disaster right after Noah & Chloe) and start pulling off files to use in a digital photo frame. What I got was “0 files to display”. Zero??? No. Fortunately, I work for/with [...]

I can’t wait to show this to Chloe in the morning. I told her she was helping her garden grow. Outside it has been warmish and the sun has been lovely but the world is still brown and grey smoosh. A taste of the sunshine has us dreaming of flowers, blue skies, green grass under [...]

I have an art box underway and it should be listed by this weekend. It is part of my “dictionary of thoughts” series. I would love to start a new body of paintings soon. Something to mix my photography and painting…I have never really done that with much success. I haven’t done a whole lot [...]

There was always a suitcase under my bed when I was growing up. It was blue and old and inside were photos of my mother’s dad, my mom’s yearbook, a photo of her at about 4 years old, and a few black and white photos that were mostly yellow. I kept them and held them [...]

I’ve said it before and I will say it again…Photoshop is my zen. I love editing my digital images as much as I like shooting them. It is all part of the artistic process. From simple editing to correct exposure and color to putting together a digital creation that allows a peek into my own [...]

I’m calling this series “dictionary of thoughts”. I have a couple more in the works right now as well. I’m been really satisfied with these and half of them have gone to new homes. This is where I’ve been…among boxes and piles of rusty dirty old things.

Just listed my new box. I love this one. Actually I’ve loved all of these recent boxes and the process of making them. I feel a little tug at my heart each time I package one up and ship it off.
i am a better mess-maker than mess-cleaner.

I find a sunny spot on the floor and an old wooden box. I start pulling out my favorite old bottles, rusty and paint peeling old metal things, keys, book pages, photos, knobs, strings, thread, paint, and tiny treasures of all sorts, broken pieces. Then I put them in, move them around, and take them [...]

I love the look of little terrariums in old jars and bottles but I’ve not owned or made one before. Since I have lots of vintage bottles and the art box I’ve been working on seemed to be going nowhere and the kids went to lunch with grandma, I thought I would give it a [...]
