Unintentional Klepto

Unintentional Klepto

Oh my brain is working overtime!  Unintentional Klepto represents something that happened to me recently that I rather enjoyed watching unveil.  I won't be able to tell this story here, but just know that even the klepto stole the T out of Klepto.  Knowing that someone is an unintentional klepto rather endears the heart of this person to me.

Can you imagine lifting the represented items and not know you actually had sticky fingers?   :-)

I started this journal awhile back and finished it pretty much yesterday morning.  I may add something more to the front cover but at this time I am not sure what.  Thanks Terry Garrett for providing me with the ephemera for the journal while I was visiting you last month.  It is fun to work with found ephemera from someone else's stash. :-)

Treasure Hunt

Today is Seth Apter's Treasure Hunt Day.  I have gone back into the works I have made in 2015 and have selected a few of my favorites.  Other "hunters" are doing the same.  You can find a list of the "Hunters" on Seth's blog.  I know it is worth checking out.  There are also links to past years' treasure hunts.  Enjoy!    http://thealteredpage.blogspot.com/

The Dressmaker's Bird

The Dressmaker's Bird

Simple, simple, simple versus complicated.  Who knows why I go in one direction or the other. Once I get going on a piece it more or less dictates to me what it will be as if it takes on a life of its own. The Dressmaker's Bird definitely is minimal for me.  Time will tell if minimal is the road I will take in the future.

Not much to say other than I am still on a Joomchi High.  I worked on two pieces today that needed to be completed from the weekend class.  Soon I will post photos of my Joomchi results.

The Paleontologist

The Paleontologist

This was a total happy accident that I think turned out pretty well.  Again I love minimalist even though you would not know it from most of my work! :-)  I am in the most exciting workshop the past three days, today is day four, Joomchi.  Look it up on Pinterest.

Sunday Morning Out the Back Window

Sunday Morning Out the Back Window

A make-believe world is wonderful to live in at times.  Creating pieces of art is like creating make-believe worlds.  They can be worlds based on reality such as this one.  However, this scene only exists in my imagination played out on paper.  It could be an illustration for a book.  It could be a spread in an art journal.  It could be almost anything you can think of as a finished piece of art.  It is a postcard.
