Art and Soul!!!!

I am thrilled to announce that I will be teaching Scribble Collage at Art and Soul this fall in Portland, Oregon. On Thursday, September 29 I'll be teaching a full-day session, in which we make loads of gorgeous scribble-painted papers and then make collages with them.


A few scribble collage studies from a student in a recent workshop:

The evening session, "Scribble Paint" will be a condensed version, in which we make the gorgeous papers, but not collage.

Advance Copy

I finally got my advance copy of Adventures in Mixed Media, and I am happy to report that it looks terrific. Nice color reproduction; the book design is awesome; I'm always impressed with the work of my photographers, John Polak and George Bouret. The official release date is April 26, but you can pre-order the book from Amazon if you like. I will bring copies to Art Unraveled in August, and Art and Soul in September to make them available as well. Here are a few sneak previews.

Remember these paper bags?
I did a chapter that includes making these shrines from foam core. The gorgeous one on the right is Carol Owen's; she is the inspiration for this project.
This chapter on Fusion, Fabric, and Fiber opens with a photo of Sue Bleiweiss's fabulous tea pot:
A couple of my own fusion fabric pieces:
There is a chapter on Mixed Media Dolls. The doll in the upper right of the left page is by Ingrid Dijkers.
And here is some eye candy from the chapter on books and boxes: paper mosaic with paper gems and glue gems. All the sparkle and glitz you could stand.
