One World One Heart Giveaway


Well it's here! The One World One Heart Magic Carpet Ride!!!! This is a wonderful opportunity to meet inspiring, talented artists from all around the world by checking out their blogs and feasting your eyes on their giveaways with a chance to win one of their goodies. You can click on the Magic Ticket picture above which will take you to a listing of blogs participating in this event. You may want to pace yourself because last year there were 911 participants representing 28 countries. This event starts on January 24 and I will be randomly drawing 2 different winners on February 15th. To win one of the goodies below please leave a comment. If you don't have a blog, please leave your email address in the comment so I would have a way to reach you if you're a winner.

That being said, welcome to my blog! Have a look around. I'm a self taught mixed media artist and I dabble in just about everything from collage to fiber arts to jewelry making to painting to sculpture. My motto is "life is short so mix media it up!"

This is a hand dyed and hand felted wool ring embellished with tiny pink seed beads and a rhinestone button on top to add a little bling-a-licious-ness (yes, it's a word.....well, it is now because I just typed it!) The ring is adjustable to fit any size.


My second giveaway is "The Spring Pinkology Fairy". She measures 9 inches tall and has fully articulated arms and legs. Created from chipboard, cardstock, booktext, decorative papers, she's a sturdy gal! Her face is hand painted with beautiful green eyes and a tiny cleft in her chin.

Hey good luck! Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you'll visit again real soon! If you're mixed media artist or collage artist pop into my "Absolutely Free Collage Sheets" group over at Flickr for free collage sheets posted by generous artists.

Snowy Sunday!

It's coming down in a lazy meandering of fat fluffy flakes here in Northwestern Pennsylvania. We seem to be in a deep freeze too with temps getting down to 9 degrees last night.....brrrrrrrrr!
All of this snow has me thinking blue and white.......
I made this wool felted ring yesterday. It's embellished with tiny glass seed beads and it's adjustable. I think it looks like a wintery little piece of candy!

My friend Tracey sent me this wooden snowflake before Christmas with a tag attached to it saying "you can collage something on this". So this is what I came up with! It's truely a mixed media piece..... metal,paper, wood,string, felt, rubber stamps and of course....glitter.


I like this thick glitter I used aroundthe photo. It's sort of like Mica flakes only uniform in shape.
This little boy has such a glint in his eye.....sort of like, "I've got the perfect snowball and it's coming at you when you least expect it!" The photo is used by permission from Dave at Atypical Art on Flickr.
The piece measures 10 inches tall by 9 inches wide.


Meet Ivan! The second little Russian snowguy in a series I'm making. He's available over at Jingle All The Way Home.


He's created with wool felted pom-poms.


If you are a mixed media artist and are looking for free collage sheets to use, I'm inviting you to pop over to my "Absolutely Free Collage Sheets" and join to become a "collagette"!
