My favorite surface to work on these days is wood. So here is how all of my latest art started out--
The long tall board I bought at Lowes --it started out as an 8ft. board and I had my husband cut it in half into the shape of a house--so now I have 2 house shaped boards--very inexpensive.
So the first thing I did was find some collage papers for it. I didn't paint any papers this time. I figured it was time to use some of these thousands of scrapbook papers, book pages, maps--you name it that I have been gathering all of these years.
and next came the first layer--
and continuing on--

This piece resulted from a class that I took last year at the art retreat that I taught at also from Carrie Tredo.---she's a very talented artist, and I'm happy to say that her and I will be teaching again this September in Mayville, NY on beautiful Lake Chautauqua on Sept. 5-7. You can find it's facebook HERE
and having more fun with these other wood pieces--
This is on an 8 x 8 deep edged cradle board inspired by Finnabair. I found her work years ago, and immediately fell in love with this dimensional style of art-making.
and here's the rest of the story--
And some more creative playing--
All of this resulted, I have to say, from trying to clean out my art space, which kind of failed miserably, but not really, because I kept finding all of these 'supplies' that helped bring these pieces together and gave me some great inspiration. You should try this too--if you happen to be in a slump--'clean'--it has its benefits!
