Collectors Edition: Chapter 10


Welcome to the fourth edition of The Pulse -- The State of the Art -- a survey in words and pictures of the online artist community. Nearly 150 artists have answered a list of questions which make up The Pulse. Their responses will be presented as a series of online and print projects. Links to the first four projects (Secret Sunday, The Book Guild, StudioScapes, Viewer's Choice) can be found on the sidebar of my blog.



Collectors Edition is the fifth installment in which your favorite artists share their favorite collection or obsession.

One of my obsessions is layering acrylics on different surfaces, writing onto the surfaces, painting more, writing more…. And then turning them into something cool.  I have been making wallets, art journals, and decorative pillows from fused plastic bags, using this layering method.

My stamp collection.

"Jewelry bowl" was taken when I was getting ready for a vendor sale and had many pieces of completed jewelry all at once (a rarity).

My camera.

My very small collection of antique shell covered boxes.

Clocks

"First Light" 6x6 mixed media, is a combination of my 2 obsessions at the moment. Photography and birds. I carry my Canon Powershot with me wherever I go. The image of birds sitting on power lines or in bare tree branches is very moving to me and I just can't get enough of them. Using mixed media techniques, I can combine my love of photography and painting and the bird imagery to produce this series.
