June 3rd- new project

Greetings- here in Albuquerque we have had 2 evenings recently of really good rainfall- always welcome here. Good thing as we are to be in upper 90s for a few days.
I am doing the best I can like we all are during this intense time- the pandemic AND the unrest all over the country. I hope you are safe and healthy and hope you can remain that way.
I am doing the ICAD challenge again this year- This goes from June 1st to July 31st- you make something on an index card a day. I will share some of those later
I have started a new journal-I did the first page and am sharing that- it is of my wearing a mask-I altered that selfie with an app called Inkwork.
Yesterday I took a 2 hour online live class with Seth Apter. He is a terrific mixed media artist, teacher and he has a shop online where he sells products he has created.https://www.sethapter.com/
The class was Minibook Madness- it was a lot of fun.  The book I made is 2 1/2" square.  This is really abstract in nature compared to my usual narrative collage work.  I loved doing this. Thank you Seth.
This is the first page of my new journal.

  1. I love your cover, you are so talented at delivering emotion.
    I love your little book. I can tell you had fun.
    That is one of my main criteria for art.

  2. TaDa! A comment from me, right here on your blog. Even though I see your wonderful work elsewhere and have, during non-plague times, the pleasure of seeing you l-i-v-e, I do enjoy seeing/reading you here. In fact, you're inspiring me to (maybe) revive my blog! Also love Seth Apter; terrific teacher.
