This is my very favorite photo of my Grandma.
I’ve used it many times in my art. As I age, I see myself reflected in her photo.

Apparently this plant doesn’t know what time of the year it is. This is the first blossom, of many, that has fully opened.
It gave me a good opportunity to practice some more macro shots with my camera. I love macro photography!
This plant was given by my kids school library staff last year for volunteering. Pretty simple job that gave my legs a good workout with all the squats putting the books back on the low shelves. :)
I looked out the patio door this morning and saw this beautiful ripple pattern in the new snow. So I geared back up to traipse around the house to take photos before the kids go running through it.
Of course I had to play around with the photo too. What do you think?
I’ve been playing a bit…no real direction or purpose. Just having fun.
The first item is any ATC. I made this one day when I had inserted my foot way too far down my throat for my comfort.
The other items are in a board book. I think this board book is the closest thing to an art journal that I’ve made so far. Other than this book that I haven’t been able to bring myself to actually journal in yet.
I joined a numbers themed ATC swap on ABC.
I used pages from a Mathmatic tables book…from back in the day that you didn’t just push the button on the calculator….as the background.
I attached these pages to recycled cereal and pasta boxes for a more sturdy base.
The woman’s image came from The Commons on Flickr. What a great resource for artists! Thanks to Penny for giving our group the heads up on this one!!
I love putting words into people mouths…especially when I can get a chuckle out of it!
I was inspired to work in a board book today for something different. I started by gluing down random scraps of text from old books. I then brushed on several colors until I was pleased with the background.
I took out this image of my Grandmother, her sisters and parents to use. Wasn’t sure what the page would become but wanted to use it none the less.
Here are a couple of close ups of each side.

Since it’s so dang cold here I thought maybe a little love could warm us up! Current temp here is -15 F.
I used mica on the left side of the image…I just know someone was going to ask. :)
The couple in the photo is of my Grandpa and Grandma Hanson circa 1929.
