shoptalk: mixed media and bling

aurora borealis rosary - available

debuted a few weeks ago,
and in spite of not finding time
to market it, stuff is beginning
to sell.

aurora borealis vintage crescent brooch - available

Confession:
selling vintage costume jewelry means
I can continue to scour tag sales
with added incentive.


vintage pearl collar necklace - available

vintage rhinestone brooch

My art has been sold
 via word of mouth and
a Chicagoland boutique.
Etsy may or may not be a good fit
for finding homes for my collages.


Osa on Zebra collage - available

Vintage book covers were my canvas
where layers of vintage text, illustrations,
acrylics, dupioni silk, muslin, and other
embellishments tell a story.
Each piece has an original pieced together
poem constructed with random text from the
book.

Help me, I love them all.
They're vintage inspired yet modern.
Success in the marketplace
won't change
how and why I create. 

one of the Big Hair collages - available

I create because it brings joy.


art can be fun - available

I create because it stretches me.


a collage inspired by faith - available

I create because I am called to.


a piece on a side table - available

I create to spread love.
And if the result pleases
someone else...


all photos mine

Well then,
I'd say that
constitutes
a bit of a
mind blowing
crazybeautiful
miracle.
