One of the assignments from the online altered book class I’m taking was to create a color wheel from magazine images. 
I wasn’t sure how I was going to make a color wheel fit into my Nature’s Majesty theme but then I noticed how well Mother Nature uses the color wheel on her own I knew I’d make it work.
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.
I had begun an online altered book class. Why you ask? I thought it would be fun to learn some new techniques and it would also get my creative juices flowing. It also helped that my good friend Elizabeth was teaching the class.
These are photos from my 1st two weeks of homework assignments.
The first was to choose a book and remove pages while leaving a block of pages to cut a niche at the end in the next lesson.
The next was to reinforce the book end pages and cut the niche.
Of course, now I’m two weeks behind on my assignments and virtually all of my stuff is boxed up since my craft zone is covered in boxes of my parents stuff I’m sorting through for them.
Since my last post almost all my time and energy has been taken up dealing with my folks and their health issues.
My life feels a bit chaotic right now. I felt this kaleidoscope I made a while back summed up what my mind has been doing for the past week.
I hope to get back on track soon by doing at least a little bit of art now and again. As well as keeping up with the altered book blog class I am taking.
I was so surprised this morning when I read a comment left by Shelliebellie at STUFF by me telling me she had given me an award.
Upon receiving this award I am to tell 7 things about myself and pick 7 others who are deserving of this award. Here goes…
- I’m an only child.
- I have a commercial drivers licence.
- I hate baking but love to cook.
- I think I’m allergic to chocolate but it doesn’t stop me from eating it.
- I want to learn to weld so I can make garden art sculptures.
- I’m terrified going over bridges.
- We have fish every Friday and we aren’t even Catholic.
It was hard to pick just 7 blogs I enjoy. I did manage to narrow it down to these…
Cross that project off my list.
