Throwback Thursday

On Throwback Thursdays I plan to share some of my older art. These two pieces, Journey I and Journey II are mixed-media canvases I created 2 years ago in December. They quickly sold at Juneau Artists Gallery, a cooperative I was part of back then. Although they were not placed in the art intentionally, if you examine the pieces you might see some cats. Someone said they thought that meant I had nine lives. I hope so!! What do you see in these pieces? Do they speak to you in any way?

 

 

Small 'Peace' of Art

Yesterday I made a (4"x6") postcard using stamps designed by my friend, Roc Nicholas. I used her church stamp, angel stamp, and steampunk border stamp--all which can be purchased at Stampotique.com.

It's A Wrap

Papaya Arts, one of my all-time favorite shops in Ashland, Oregon (a family favorite jaunt about a 2 hour drive from where we live in Redding, California) is offering a sale on some of their fabulous paper, which you can purchase online.

A Window of Possibility

The Possibility of Windows

Here's a simple Christmas decoration I came up with for our--I want to say 'dining room,' but we have an open floor plan--window that sits above our dining table. The strands are just connected to the curtain rod with those rings that easily open and close, from which hang small chain link, to which we added ornaments. This photo doesn't really do it justice, because the ornaments are glittery lime, fuchsia, and silver which look amazing in the sunlight. But it's difficult to take a decent photo facing into direct light. So hopefully you get the gist!

In other news, I think my blog building is just about complete, and I plan to start adding art and building a more substantial content as soon as possible.
I hope you  can follow me, add me to your blog list, and even recommend other blog or other social media connections.
Survivor tonight. Are you a fan? I'm a huge fan. I never miss a show!
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

The tree is up, the outside lights are hung, and (battery-operated) candles cast their glow from our windows, and a wreath adorns the door. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at our house, what about yours? What have you done? What else will you do?

The Blog Before This Blog

I just added a link to my former blog http://www.cparmelee.blogspot.com/, which for some reason can still be viewed, but I'm not able to post, edit, and/or manage it...thus I started this new blog. Which might be fitting since we're now living a new life in sunny California. (High temp today: 73!!). But my former blog does contain a lot of my artwork, so it's nice to be able to still access it.
