NEW SOUL COLLAGE CARDS

2009-07-22T05:38:00.000-07:00

These cards almost created themselves last Saturday at Peggy Black's Collage Class. Please leave me your comments.

Do you feel the energy of each card?
What does it bring up for you?
What do the images or backgrounds represent?

Thank you,
Blessings, Chris

Starting 2009 RIGHT!

2009-01-07T06:30:00.000-08:00

Here are some pics of our collaborative work! My hubby and I compliment each other's talents. I "can't draw" and he "can't paint"!

This is our first one we created last fall. I created an image in photoshop, then he rendered it on the canvas, then I painted the image. We feel it turned out fabulous. I've made and sold prints as well as greeting cards. Our goal is to create 12 of them this year to make into a calendar.

So, we're on vacation at Avila Beach and yesterday he went to work again! AMAZING! you can see my first renderings on the computer screen in the corner. I pulled together several images and fit them into a square frame. I love how the "running off the canvas" seems to pull you right into the picture. Mostly, I am truly AMAZED at my honey's talent! Later today, I'll lay in the color... still not sure if we want to go sky blue in the upper right, or a mix like the first angel canvas.

He is really AMAZING!

A weekend's work

2008-11-20T06:48:00.000-08:00

So, here are the pictures I was about to take yesterday when Persephone made her get-away. Done! 56 Holiday Dominoes, now waiting pretty ribbons.

.Customers in the shop love these little charms.... they fly out the door! (hint: I'm looking for/needing more dominoes!) Done! Dozens of greeting cards and notes made from Vintage Postcards of my town of Boulder Creek.
This is one of my customer's favorites... the old swimming hole taken in the 60's! It's a scan of an actual photograph.
Well, this one doesn't show up so great here, photographed and reduced... but I spent many hours playing with this almost all black and white postcard from 1910, looking down at Boulder Creek in the old days. Photoshop helped me make a blue sky and green up the Redwood mountains some.

Done! a set of greeting cards: the "Elder Artist", and "Good Morning, this is God...."

Done! well, this was an idle time creation, a set of Mother Mary tags
So, it was a productive and fun weekend in my studio! What were you up to?

Things that move in the night!

2008-11-19T06:36:00.000-08:00

Have you ever gone into your studio area and wondered "how did that get there?" Well, I started off this morning snapping pictures of my recent work to share here... and heard a noise from above. There, perched high atop, was Persephone doing her morning stretch after I had so unceremoniously switched on the blinding light which so rudely woke her! Just at that moment....

What does she hear? In a room down the hall,Grandpa is dishing out breakfast for all four kitties!

She quickly surveys her possible exit routes.

Shall she try going this way?

Will this support my weight? I'm sooo hungry!Hmmm, I dunno know..... I'm certainly not a "Fraidy Kat"One.... Two.... THREE! GO FOR IT!
The aftermath.... oh well, Grandma will clean up the mess!
The "After-Glow"....
Moments later..... ahhh, breakfast!
Would you PURRRLESE! get that camera outa here!

Encaustic Works (painted with wax)

2008-11-16T06:35:00.000-08:00

Here are some examples of the work I did in encaustics -hot wax. I love working with that medium, especially with the capacity to embed right into the hot wax.

This first one was done on a piece of fence board that my husband sanded down for me. I was able to embed vintage rosary beads, photos, holy cards, etc.

This next one is on a piece of Redwood fence board. Here I put down a layer of clear wax, then a photocopy of one of my favorite paintings (by me), on top of that I embedded the image of Holy Mary from a holy card. I mixed some colors into my wax and extended the greens, etc. onto the wood, drizzling additional wax around the borders. It was so fun to place her into a painting I did in the 1980's!

I created this one at a class that San Francisco's Center for the Book held last year. Got to play with some of their colors. There are layers of photos, vintage doilies and misc. papers also. There is some text right under the wax in the middle, but the camera didn't pick that up. I added the hardware embellishments at home.

Back in my studio again! HOORAY!

2008-11-14T06:20:00.000-08:00

Ok, ok.... I hereby promise to keep this blog going! Thank you Art & Soul friends who encouraged me to keep up with this! I've been creating, just not posting much. I spend an hour each morning reading my favorite blogs... so here's my commitment to stay current. I'm also going to post my favorite blogs (soon as I figure out how) for you all to enjoy as well!

This week I've included several of my recent journal creations. I keep at least four journals going all the time, my Letters to God/Thankfulness journal at night; an idea journal to write fabulous ideas and sketches; an inspirational journal where I keep my book/study notes; and my morning journal which is a remnant of Morning Pages, where I write about my goals for the day. Opps, I have a couple other journals, but will share about them somewhere down the line.

I've listed these in my Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5828756 so check them out!

Soldered Glass Necklaces

2008-05-29T08:12:00.000-07:00

Here are my first attempts at soldering glass after Sally Jean's fabulous class at Asilomar. My granddaughter talked me into the Rocky Horror and Sedwic designs... but my favorite is the Sinatra! Sold the first one to a delightful lady in France!

Back to creative work!

2008-02-24T08:41:00.000-08:00

Where has the time gone! It's almost spring here in the soggy redwoods! Finally put away all the Christmas ephemera, craft supplies, etc.... and started some new projects.

Very excited about my fat book for Art and Soul in Asilomar in April.... here's a look:
I took the artist image from one of my soul collage cards and plunked her down on the windswept dunes. Windswept is the theme of the fat book swap. There are still spaces at Art & Soul Asilomar.... see:
http://www.artandsoulretreat.com/Asilomar-2008.php

Sooo... I got busy and created a few little ATC's with wire hangers, currently listed on eBay....
"But I like myself the way I am"... digitally altered image applied on top of a 1919 Sears Catalog advertisment for corsets.

And here is the back side (back art), almost as cute as the front!

Art Walk ~ EYE CANDY!

2007-12-10T08:13:00.000-08:00

Oh my gosh.... I haven't posted in a week or so because I was getting ready for the Art Walk we had in our little town. Thought you'd all enjoy seeing some of the fabulous art! Sorry I didn't get pics of the 17 (!!) Bird Houses that one artist sold!

Here are some of the darling Brownies singing Christmas Carols in front of Sherrie's Fashions. My store is waaaay at the end of the block, you can see it in the distance. Actually, that big redwood tree is in our "Secret Garden" (back yard).

Carol makes these wonderful ceramic Tree ornaments every year. She has sold to the same people every year for the last 10 years.... they LOVE her "Boulder Creek" tree ornies! This year's is amazing! You can see them hanging.... shoulda took a closeup!!

But wait... here's a closeup of some of her other works. She takes her husband's photographs and puts them on these little ornaments, jewelry, night lights, etc. I don't know HOW he can get the hummingbird wings to stop like that! I LOVE the one with the fog in the redwood trees... taken from their deck overlooking our little town!

Here's my little space, in front of our shop window. I loved making those tiny domino tree ornaments. Have sold lots through the shop, so I hurried to make more for the Art Walk, but forgot them at home!! Didn't quite sell out though, so they're in the shop now.

I didn't get a very good shot of Ruth's LOVELY VIRGIN MARY art! Ruth was so excited... she sold three of her fabulous "Hippie" blankets!

Here's another shot of my table including my sunflower paintings. got lots of compliments, but no sales. Would these sell on eBay you think?

Here's Mike (Carol ~the ceramic ornament artist~ 's husband. His photos are out of this world! Next to him is Ginger.... wait till you see the closeups of her amazing work!

As promised.... here's Ginger's work! words don't do justice! her colors, textures, creativity! all AMAZING!!

Donna Lee's Dolls, shared a table/space with Ginger... her imagination and creativity with her unique dolls has made her a local favorite. I'm always keeping a lookout for unusual brushes or unique things for her to incorporate into one of these charming characters.

Here's better pics! I love the little sage bundles, they smell soo GOOD!

I just wish I had taken more pictures!! Everyone was bundled up... but having a ball! Then, at six pm, the fire engines came rolling into town, sirens blaring, announcing the arrival of our OWN SANTA! Santa then proceeded to light our huge Christmas tree. (Honestly, I wasn't asleep... I just forgot to take a pic of the tree! I'll get one later this week.) The fire department hosted a HUGE spaghetti feed. They are a volunteer department, and brother!! WE REALLY APPRECIATE THEM!! Thanks Guys, for all you contribute to our saftety here in the mountains!

Several hundred parents and children sang, laughed and cheered on Santa!

I love living in our little town!
Holiday Blessings to you all!

Angels for the Christmas Season!

2007-12-02T15:07:00.000-08:00

Here's a peek at my latest, just out of the art room, creation:

"Angel Mine"
An Angelic Victorian Christmas Book
A One of a Kind, Altered Art Paper Bag Album
All the papers have been digitally created uniquely using Photoshop.

Front cover with fibers, trims, silk ribbons

Close up

Inside pages 2-3
I digitally altered the inside steps of a church, then reproduced the inner arch
and put the entire original picture within the arch. The angel is from a picture of a stone angel.

Pages 4-5
This is a really deep, purplish blude. A picture of church windows, digitally altered, grunge brushes and more layered in for depth. Angels floating around are from Victorian Postcards.
Upper right, tied with a hand dyed silk ribbon are several of the
encaustic tags, also hung with silk ribbons.

Seen without the tags. Butterfly is hand dyed.

Pages 6-7
A beautiful angel (from a cemetary), digitally altered with grunge brushes,
writing, and more. Trimmed with flowered ribbon, small tags are attached.

Page 8-9
More digitally altered papers/pages, trimmed with vintage hand tatted trimming.
Tucked inside the left page is a surprise you'll see later.

Pages 10-11
I loved the texture of the cover paper so much I included it inside as well. Digitally created with lacy layers and a sweet angel peeking through.
The right side is a pocket with two vintage silk roses tied with a hand dyed silk ribbon. Both are removable.

Page 12-13 Below...
These were actually the first digital pages I created using angels. The color of
the graphics is vivid and sweet. I didn't want to add anymore, but the large vintage silk flower on the upper left just looked like it was made for this page.

Pages 14-16
More fun papers created with wonderful grunge and lace photoshop brushes.
Vintage tatted trip and a crochet rose adorn this pocket, which is holding two of the encaustic Angel Tags.

And here is the back of the book.

These are a few little extra angel cards with wonderful thoughts.

Tucked into one of the pockets you will find this altered book cover, ready to hang or display. Made from a 1895 prayer book,
it still has the owner's thoughts clearly written!

AND... here' another little surprise for you!
Wrapped in a vintage doily, tied with a silk ribbon

It's a little folding book! "The Lord's Prayer" with ten sweet angelic faces!
For the TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS....
These are the twelve encaustic (made with hot wax) tags, or cards, each tied with a silk ribbon.
I truly loved making this sweet little book
ANGEL MINE
I hope it will bring you an experience of inner peace, joy, and love.

Yipes! Healing Mat wont HEAL!

2007-11-29T06:09:00.000-08:00

Thought I'd get a head start in my studio this morning and started playing with my new spring loaded hole punch. WHAMMO! Great holes, but my poor little matt is now perforated! What should I have used instead!

LOOK!

Christmas ATC's

2007-11-29T05:29:00.000-08:00

I've been sitting with my laptop at night while watching Dancing with the Stars and creating fun layouts with vintage images of Santa and some old Victorian Photographs. (Still trying to beef up my feedback on my new eBay seller id. so each of these are listed there.)

Here's what I've done:
I've mounted all these on matt board, using my favorite Diamond Glaze... made the atcs nice and kinda chunky... just one of those "feel good" (in your hands) kinda things...

I just love this little girl, peering out from the windows, caught up in the curtains....

Adorable little twin babies... the photo was marked 1909. I had fun using photoshop brushes to make a grunged out background... I finished with using walnut inks on the sides and corners. Mounted all of them on matt board for strength. (I ran out of the bookboards I made! Hafta make more!)

The photo of this little girl is also about 1909... she's sitting on her front porch... she's got attitude! I couldn't resist putting her on top of the world! I used three different Victorian images, cut out the middle of the dotted one, cut out Santa, who was standing on the North Pole, and lifted a Santa hat off another.... plus I grunged out a piece of music.... all digitally!

I love this group of friends.... all bundled up for the chill! I painstakingly cut out little garland hair wreaths for the girls and Santa hats for the boys.... but the hats got lost in the overall composition. I felt I needed to add the garlands on the sides to soften the cut off parts of the photo. The Santa was from a Victorian image and I plunked down the kids after cutting out the background on their photo.

This shows one of the backgrounds I made using the grunge brushes... The little kitty was actually watching a fireplace in another picture.

I felt really good about this background! loved adding in the cracks, old script, etc.

The cool thing about photoshop is that you can alter the hue and saturation, and come up with an entirely new look!! So I've created several "backgrounds" to use for my atcs.... soo cool, who woulda thought!! (and I learned to type on an old manual clunker ~1960's~, then moved up in technology with the IBM selectric!... never dreamed about computers or doing what we can do now!!)

Have a FABULOUS, CREATIVE DAY!!
Hugs, Chris

Finished up this week

2007-11-25T15:35:00.000-08:00

Here are a few pieces I finished up this week. Currently listed on eBay! I just love that hot wax thing!!

Bookboards

2007-11-25T07:43:00.000-08:00

Here is how I learned to make bookboard from vintage book pages.....

Owning an antiques and art store.... I come across many books that are just too worn out. I love to choose books that already have a natural age discoloration. There's something just so organic and soulful about using these ancient pages as a substrate for today's work. In the two examples I'll post, you will see the 1890's dictionary pages, and also Sear's catalog pages (a 1970's reprint).

For my work surface I like to use a large piece of heavily waxed paper. The runoff glue is easier to wipe off. I use a 50/50 mixture of Methyl Cellulose http://www.dickblick.com/zz127/36/ and PVA for the glue. I make a large batch (8 oz. at a time) of this and keep it in the fridge. I use a wide, 3" brush to evenly apply the glue.

I simply glue one page on top of the next, alternating the direction of the pages. The grain is usually up and down, so the next sheet is glued sideways, and so on. Depending on the size of the pages, I'll fold over the surplus paper, building an even density.

Once each sheet is glued to the next, I run an bone folder across both directions... the surplus glue seeps out and I wipe it off. After a while I learned to get just the right amount on with little seepage. For the altered bag book pages, I used 6-8 book pages. This gives just enough strength. Also, seems to be a good strength for ATCs. For thicker, even sturdier, more bookboard like pages, just keep adding them on.

To prevent warping, bending, rippling....
THE MOST IMPORTANT.... not to be overlooked step, is the drying and pressing time. Each page is placed on top of several layers of newsprint paper, and another two or so sheets on top of that. Then a large board that extends to the edges of your pages. On top of that, a heavy weight, the heavier the better. The newsprint will wick out the dampness and will need to be changed several times. I'll switch out the damp for fresh paper about once an hour, maybe three times... then let the finished pages sit overnight. This will make them really nice and stiff and smooth.

I imagine you could do the pressing/wicking process between adding/gluing sheets, but I tend to be impatient. For me, it's kinda like quilting or weaving.... bringing together materials to make something new and wonderful!

It's really easy! Here's a pic of the 1890's dictionary pages as a finished project in an altered album:

Notice how the natural aging looks. I love it!

On the left below, you can see where I have folded the surplus paper back on itself, resulting in and interesting effect. Amazing, using dictionary pages, there are always some word/s that apply to the composition!

Here are tags I made from the Sear's catalog. (These I inked to give the aged look to the edges. (FYI... the ribbons on these tags are actual lingerie ribbon from an ancient spool! so cool!)

And these I cut down to ATC size. Fun stuff!

So, that in a nutshell is how I make "bookboard". I'd love to get feedback from you, about this process, or how you make yours.

THANKFULNESS on Thanksgiving

2007-11-22T06:24:00.000-08:00

I woke early this morning and was going to get in some art time, before Brit and I start the Thanksgiving Day cooking.... somehow, I got hooked into looking at old family photos and was STRUCK by the meaning of this day! Tears of thankfulness wont stop! This is what it's all about.

Here we were, TEN years ago!

And ten years later, this is the beautiful, confident, 15 year old, Brit, sipping on her Latte between classes at Cabrillo College!

Yes, this is what Thankfulness is all about. Thank you God, for giving us this phenomenal opportunity to share in your wonderment! And God Bless anyone who happens upon this posting!

Mother Mary Series now listed on ebay

2007-11-21T09:35:00.000-08:00

Here are a few of the Mother Mary altered art collages I'm now switching over to my eBay "redwoodmountainart" seller id.

It's been a GREAT MONDAY!

2007-11-19T16:59:00.000-08:00

HOORAY! I did it, five hours later, I finally got my new eBay identity up and running:
"redwoodmountainart", EXCLUSIVELY for my original art work. I'm still learning how this blog thing works. Still don't have a clue how to directly link my ebay listings.

In the mean time....
Here's some of my first listing:

This is the cover of this sweet little altered bag book album.... full of fun holiday images (collages) that I mostly created in photoshop.

This little girl rises right out of the Christmas pie and reaches up to the Victorian family, to hang her stocking too!

Some of the tags I made.

Just a few more pages....

OK one year later!

2007-11-18T06:46:00.000-08:00

Well at least I got it started! I moved on from doing Soul Collage cards and have finally got my studio in great shape! Been turning out lots of fun stuff... mixed in with lots of encaustics! I love the hot wax thing. So I hereby pledge... INTEND! to show off some of my work and build a network of like minded, creative souls.

Please let me know your thoughts on my art work. I live out here in the woods with my husband, granddaughter, two cats, a bird, and two dogs. Everyone always says "That's nice honey/grandma"...

This is the front of my latest altered book. The ladies woke me up at night to create their pages and statements.... I found allot of deeper meaning just wanting expression.

Here are the first pages. I used Photoshop to create digital collages throughout this book. I love to make my own paper!

Here are the next pages.... I played with a vintage catalog, then cut the ladies out, used encaustic medium to give them a sturdiness, then applied more wax to adhere them to the pages. Ended up covering some of my collage, but it all fit together.

This collage created herself! I took one Victorian nude image of a woman looking into the mirror and created copies of that, lessened the opacity, and circled the images around the original. I could probably write pages in my journal about the feelings this image invokes.

More fun pages.....

I especially loved creating these images.... those poor Victorian women really had to suck it in! I think I might make some ATCs out of catalog ads.

I wanted heavy cardstock, or bookboard weight paper to make these tags. I took a class at the Center for the Book in SF last month and learned how to make bookboard out of old book papers. So these pages are all from a 1890's French/English dictionary.. the pages were already distressed! Each card has a nice weighty feel to it since they are six to eight book pages thick. If anyone is interested, I'll be happy to post a "how to" make bookboard paper.

I found two 1950's Milton Bradley domino sets at a garage sale and was going to list them on eBay.... BUT, had fun using them here instead! The silk ribbon I dyed using permanent inks from my stamping supplies. Loved the way the colors blended.

This bevy of beauties turned out fabulous (if I say so myself). I played with the vintage images in Photoshop, created a white halo around each image, turned them all sepia, then coated them with wax. The wax makes them almost transparent.... I love the depth that encaustic creates.

Finally.... since the bookboard pages were all too big for the album, I had some scraps left over to cut into 2x3 sizes for ATCs. I just love the feel of these!

So, I'm thrilled to say that this creation of mine sold in less than one week on eBay! It's such a thrill to know that someone values your creation and that you have, maybe, touched their life in a small way.

She spreads her limbs
And flies on the seat of her pants
We are the grandmothers
Who have always been with you

Make faces, act silly
We cannot cry all the time
For, with every tear

Also wating for expression
We teach you to go on breathing
Relax, smile
Let in the light
Be the laughter
I am the one
Who is daughter of crazywoman
Silly grandmothers

The Mother's light directs me
Guides me to show the way

I am keen, I am clear
I am fiercely protective
I am the one, appearing soft
But wielding the ax
Protecting the messenger
Protecting the message

My masculine self
Unpenterable
Neither sticks, nor stones...
Nor harshly barbed arrows
Penetrate, abuse, nor abate
The purpose, the Mission

Ancient Sister

2006-09-04T20:44:00.000-07:00

My Ancient Sister Marta
Is calling me to go deeper
Just when I felt
Freedom in the light
She beacons from the portal
Yet another journey
Past the phoney pretties
Flowers blooming glorius
Chaos finally falling away
My vision is clearing
NOW FIRMLY GROUNDED IN MY GARDEN
THERE IS YET ANOTHER DOORWAY
AND BEYOND, A HALLWAY OF MANY ROOMS,
My sisters and mothers hanging there
Their stories fermenting
Fertilizing and nurshing
Wanting to be told
To realize their fateful purpose
Birthing and Creating
Circling, birthing, dying
Rebirthing, dying, birthing
The circle continues
Aware or not
Birth and death.

The Lost Child

standing firm
grounded in my garden
filling up to overflowing,
spilling out, channels of love
abundance is my state of being
Filled to overflowing
channeled into creativity
mindless, thoughtless
creates a void for creativity
filling me up once again
to overflowing, channeled love
waves crashing on shore,
repeating again and again
breathing, flowing in and out
over and over, again and again,
flowing in, flowing with, flowing around
creative abundance.
I am grounded in the garden
