Some photographs from my trip to New Mexico (taken from the car.) The mountains and sky were amazing! I'm ready to go back!
Tomorrow I'm going with Heather to Yucandu, a drop-in arts & crafts studio with hundreds of projects that “you can do”. Yucandu has projects for people of all ages to mosaic, collage, glitter and paint. After much discussion with my good friend, Sarah, at work, I've decided I'm going to create a photo mosaic with my often-used and much-loved photograph, "Queen Anne's Lace". I think it'll look really cool with the pretty blues and whites showing through the clear glass tiles and round glass gems. I'll post soon and let the world know how my new masterpiece turns out. And remember, if I can do it, Yucandu it, too!!
I'm happy. I'm going to make my first collage! I've been reading Somerset Studio for several months, and I think I've caught the collage bug. I have a blank canvas waiting for me, I've purchased a jar of gesso, and after much (too much) thought, I've decided that "Moose in His Flower Garden" will be my theme. I'm gathering lots of my flower photos, and I have my Moose picture (see above) ready for the scissors. Mooser, old boy, you're going to be blooming soon!
Last Saturday, my friend Heather and I took an "Altered Charms" workshop at Red Lead. We used brass blanks, mica, and our own images to make pendants. (See photos above and below.) I really like the results! ... And, of course, I enjoyed the process too. This was the first jewelry/art workshop I've ever taken, and it was well worth it! Sign me up for more!

... But only Strawberry Creme Frappuccinos with whip on top! (No coffee for dogs - caffeine is extremely dangerous for them to ingest.)
