aw! i sold my favorite collage piece in my etsy shop last night. it had only been online an hour or so when it was snagged up. i was going to package it up last night, but decided to hold onto it for a couple more hours. heh! i am sorta regretting my decision to sell it. i love it that much! but i know it’s going to a good home.

Jeannine from Boodzoo Studio bought it. You should check out her blog and Etsy shop. She makes very interesting collages and ACEOs.

Jeannine, if you’re reading, it’s on the way, hon. look for it soon.

i don’t know why this looks so blurry. if you click and enlarge, it looks much better.

i put another collage in my shop tonight. this one I like almost as much as the last one. this one took hours to make, and almost had me stumped for a while. it just would not come together. i was in my studio from about 4pm until after midnight last night. i thought i’d never get to the point of melting the beeswax on it, but i did. finally!

oh, actually, i put up two collages. i almost forgot about this one..

if you’re interested in either one of them, check out my etsy shop. there will be more coming tomorrow. i’m on a roll and plan to stay here for a while.

i am being very dyslexic today. can’t spell. can’t make sentences. can’t type. oh, dear.

i have been searching online since last night for mat boards which have a 4″ x 4″ opening. i can’t find them anywhere!! i tried dick blick, ebay, etsy, and other websites. i guess square sizes are not popular.

i decided to go ahead and put the collages in my etsy shop as is, without a mat. if anyone knows where to buy square, pre-cut mats, please let me know.

collages = $8 with FREE shipping within USA. Outside the USA, please email me for shipping cost. If you’d like to buy directly from me instead of Etsy, please leave a comment or email.

I just added a new art journal section to the site. Have a look, if you like. Many of the pages aren’t finished yet, but I took photographs anyway. It may take years before I finish some of them. Or, i may do them all tonight. Who knows? My art journals are forever changing. If I waited until each page felt complete, I’d never photograph them. heh!

Newly listed handmade book in my Etsy shop. This is one of the books I made to use in the artistic alchemy workshop I’m taking. I decided to keep one and sell the other one. So, there you have it! Go look!

I’m also added a scrapbook to my shop this morning. It’s not handmade, but it’s brand new! I admit, I don’t really care for the cover. But hey, I have several of these which I have made my own by painting and collaging over the covers. They are perfect for drawing, painting, scrapbooking..whatever it is you do.

I couldn’t decide which one I wanted. I looked at Once Upon The End’s Etsy for about an hour. I kept hopping back and forth between these two books, and simply couldn’t make up my mind which one I liked more.

Suddenly, I thought, why do I have to like one better than the other? I don’t! Yay! So, I bought both of them. I snagged this picture from Cheryl’s blog to show you what they look like. I can’t wait to get them.
