Rabbit Assemblage

I had so much fun creating this assemblage piece. He just seems so alive to me. I found the sewing machine drawer while "antiquing" with a friend of mine. The cobbler's shoe form is as old as I am. Yikes!!

Nest Assemblage

It is so much fun when everything falls into place. I have been searching high and low for shadowbox frames when my friend, Melissa called me and told me about some frames she found in a local store.

I love the expression on the little girl's face. She is staying very quiet so she doesn't disturb the birds and she is urging you to do likewise. The cheerful songs of the birds match the song of her heart. She is at home in the garden.

In that quiet garden
the garden of her heart
Songbirds are always singing
their song of cheer apart.

Captured Time

If only capturing time could really be so easy.

I wear the key of memory, and can open every door in the house of my life.

I made this original assemblage using an old beat up alarm clock that my friend Phyllis gave me. The little doll I encased is just precious!

I would like to thank Charlotte for featuring me in her treasury! Sweet!!

So many women

So many women, so little time

I just finished the shadowbox that I've been working on. I'm quite pleased at the way it turned out. I made it using a very old cabinet card that I bought from Opera House Antiques. He looks like quite a player to me so I worked around that theme.

I'm in good company

I was so honored to be in such good company! Stacie of Creative Junque created this treasury on Etsy of some of the members of our ZNE street team. I enjoy being part of such a talented group!

It's all about me

The idea for this collage hit me when I was searching for some shelf brackets and stumbled on some old blocks my Mom gave me. Easily distracted? Not me!

It is all about me, isn't it????
