Magic Flexagon Book

This magic book is made with one sheet of card stock and folded in such a way to baffle the holder. 

The book opens up to a photo. Fold the pages back so the front of the book touches the back. In the middle there will be an opening to reveal another spread. Fold those pages back and, again, another spread.

Mini Folding Books

These mini folding books made with 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of card stock are so easy and fun to make! They are for my grandkids. 

I was so inspired by the artists at a Book Arts group meeting last month in Edmonds.

Mini paintings bloom with color

As I look at the calendar I am getting keenly aware that Christmas is getting closer. I'm painting a dozen 5x7 paintings as maybe gifts!  They have many layers of paint and paper on a canvas board. 

Not sure where I'm going with these!

These 12x12 canvasses are layered with paint and multi media. Great texture and colors. Hmmm... Next?  I often work on more than one so if I like the finished art I can have several. If I don't like the direction I have others to experiment with. But I love the final paintings!

So here are two finished canvases!

This is a close up of detail. 

Splashes of flowers make me happy

Layered with papers, tissue, sheet music and painted with many layers of acrylic paint, these flowers appeared. They are 8x10 board canvasses that I sell for $50 plus shipping. 

Welcome to my Home

The front door needs to say "Welcome" when my guests arrive to my home.  It was time to let my doors make a cheerful statement. 

Small cheerful canvasses

This morning I grabbed a few canvasses and some bright colors and started these paintings. I'll post later when they are finished. I sell these for $50. Great gift!
