Illustration Friday - Old-Fashioned

Typewriters are old-fashioned symbols of production, correspondence and technology. I would love to have an old, black, manual typewriter as a giant paper weight in my office.

This is my contribution to this week's Illustration Friday.

What's in a name?

I consider myself to have a fairly creative mind. However, when it came to titling my recent mixed media art pieces I really drew a blank!

My most recent pieces are now posted in my Etsy shop. And, you will notice, they are generically named No.1, No.2, No.3, etc. Yawn. Maybe during my morning walks next week I will brainstorm for some dynamic, humorous names for them. Stay tuned.

September Morning Walks

Almost every morning of the last few weeks I have been walking around the paths not too far from our home. Yesterday, I finally remembered to bring my camera to record the glorious long shadows and bright morning sun.

Altered Books on Display at Varley Art Gallery

I am thrilled that my altered book is among the twelve on display at the Varley Art Gallery in Unionville. Yesterday, I viewed the exhibition and was amazed with the quality of ideas and artistry. To protect these beautiful creations they are displayed behind glass which I completely appreciate. However, you can not help but wish you had the opportunity to journey through all the pages of every book.

Thank you to artist Judith Livingston for co-ordinating the exhibit.

Here is a peek at my altered book.
