Salem High School Masterclass

Last month I was invited to Salem High School’s Visual Arts Academy to conduct a clinic on mixed media art – I was so nervous about it, but the minute I got in there (and accepted some compliments on my outfit), I was completely at ease 🙂 I talked about what I do and gave a bit of advice from my personal experiences ANNNND I brought in baby canvases for each student (3″X6’s – so cute!) and some vintage magazines and part of my collage stash!! I just have to post all the amazing miniatures these students created!! Awesome!!

The Perfect Gift for Every Occasion!

I’ve been doing a lot of these lately! They make the perfect gift for any occasion!

Weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and now in a Maternity flavor (new)!

This one (a gift for my mother in law) is 12X12, rather than my usual 6X6 and I had to put up a pic of it framed 🙂

Check out the new Maternity embrace first created for Cindy and Kathy’s baby shower!

All 6X6 Embraces are always $45!

The next one was made for our friends Mike and Sara’s wedding based on their invitations I designed for them 🙂

Because I’m terrible at emptying my camera…
