new gift tags

these are my new tags made from one of my large collage sheets. they are 1 3/8s in diameter. i think this scan is sort of funny -- it makes me think of some kind of weird vegetable, like beets or something! i'll work some on getting better photos before i list these on etsy.

this is the beginning of a large (2' x 4') mixed media piece that i am doing on plywood. if anyone has any experience working on plywood, please share them with me! i'm not sure where this is going as a painting, but i know it is going to hang outside for the summer. my experiment in weathering, as it were:)

this is a painting that will most likely never go into my etsy shop. it's highly personal and a good reminder of where i have been and how much better things are now. that said, there were some happy accidents technique-wise and discoveries about some of the properties of the paint i was using that i would love to pursue working with again soon.

as i was going through my listings on etsy and looking at which collages to put on sale, i realized that this little aceo never got posted anywhere! i love the vintage orange and white fabric (thanks, randel! www.acollageaday.blogspot.com). the rest of the papers are all vintage scaps from my huge stockpile of papers. this will get posted in my etsy shop tomorrow:)
