Collage Cafe: I must be an artist!
http://collagecafe04.blogspot.com/2010/06/i-must-be-artist.html
Sunday, June 13, 2010. I must be an artist! Two words. art studio. For me, it conjurs up so many things. one of the biggest being, you must be an artist to have a studio. and/or have money. and be making money from your art. and. and. and. all these very limiting 'rule' i had created in my head. Art studio' i thought. but she's a struggling grad student. how can she have an art studio? And so i placed it out in the universe. 'i will have an art studio'. Now for those of you who know me personally, you kn...

Collage Cafe: trash to treasure
http://collagecafe04.blogspot.com/2010/05/trash-to-treasure.html
Monday, May 17, 2010. Our task: create a bookmark from items destined for the trash or recycling. it's a salvaged goods bookmark. For the front I used a discarded paper I had used as a paint pallet and added a piece of a paper coffee cozy, some plastic that came as extraneous packaging, scraps of craft paper, old foil, and an old coil. To which I added scraps of ribbon with attached charms. On the back I added some fun sentences from a rescued book. This was a fast, fun project . I LOVE functional art.

Collage Cafe: November 2009
http://collagecafe04.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 27, 2009. I just finished the muffler with the cable stitch that I learned last Friday at our little craft get-together. I LOVE IT! Don't look too closely for the flaws. they are too numerous to count. I chose to leave them in. it adds a bit of character. ; ) If you know how to knit and purl you can learn how to do this, too. it's easy peasy! And bonus, I found the button in my stash. What is your 'before and after'? Links to this post. Tuesday, November 24, 2009. Links to this post.

Collage Cafe: Green
http://collagecafe04.blogspot.com/2010/06/green.html
Monday, June 7, 2010. This was a really fun swap! The challenge. create a piece of art the size of a postcard. any medium, style, subject. THEN hang it outside to 'weather' for a week. bring it in, let it dry if neccesary and then send it off 'naked' through the mail. We created two and sent them out into the world. What color would your art be? June 8, 2010 at 5:45 AM. I really like your use of paint! August 13, 2011 at 11:05 PM. August 14, 2011 at 12:09 AM. Please share you thoughts and ideas!

Collage Cafe: September 2009
http://collagecafe04.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 28, 2009. All it takes is a quick trip back to Michigan to add fuel to the flames of design inspiration. I have a vision. and of course it includes green in all its fabulous shades with a special emphasis on my current favorite color 'celery-lime' (thanks, Stacy, for the perfect descriptor name.). here is a preview of some of the fabric I'll be using to create new beauty. Visions of slipcovers, valances, and pillows are dancing in my head. What is YOUR favorite color? Links to this post.

Collage Cafe: Creative Journaling Kit
http://collagecafe04.blogspot.com/2010/05/creative-journaling-kit.html
Saturday, May 15, 2010. One of the things I truly love to do is give gifts. there is a fantastic pleasure in giving with joy something that you think the person will truly love. I recently took part in a swap that was to pull together a Creative Journaling Kit. We did not need to include the journal, just items to make the journaling fun. and we needed to make it something that could be transportable. What is your 'must have' in your journaling kit? May 15, 2010 at 12:35 AM. Yikes, I consider just about ...

I hosted my first swap. it was part of the newfangled zentagles group I belong to. this group encourages experimentation (in general, tangles are black ink on white/cream background). this one is not. I used watercolors, chalks, inks on water color paper. Http:/ www.daisyjanie.com/index.html. Links to this post. Wednesday, March 24, 2010. I took it literally. Links to this post.
