Mixed Media Collage

This piece was started as a collage demonstration during the March workshop session in Fort Collins, Colorado. Life got in the way and it went into the incubation bin. This week it came back to life. I treated part of the surface with paint, added more collage, stenciling, scaffito, and a few swipes of metallic wax. It will now be available for purchase here. The next Create With Moxie Workshop session in Fort Collins will be July 10 thru 12, 2009. Registration is now open. Contact artwithmoxie@cox.net for workshop information.

Mixed Media Necklace

This item is available for purchase by contacting artwithmoxie@cox.net .

As some of you already know, I suffered the loss of my granddaughter Nicole three months ago. and if that were not enough I lost the lease to my studio a week later. I have not had the energy to look for a new space or even to post on my blogs as often as I would like...I know you will understand. I am working on my jewelry line and a few small art projects from my in home studio. I will keep you posted on the new works and give you information on up coming workshops on this site and on http://createwithmoxie.blogspot.com . Items for sale can also be found on http://moxiegallery.etsy.com/ .

The necklace on this post has an element from a charm exchange and a piece of sea glass embraced with fantasy film.

watercolor portrait

This is a sample of what I do with left over demo pieces. The demonstration was about reverse printing, collage and over spraying. Months later, I used the demo piece to teach a beginner watercolor portrait class. I love the marks where the reverse printing became part of her hair, some will see the marks on her face as mistakes...I see them as creative opportunities. I will be teaching these techniques this fall in Fort Collins , Colorado. Check this site and here also for workshop information.
