Artist: KATE BINGAMAN-BURT 

I love to share artists that you might not know of, even though they are very good and popular. Kate is on one of my sub-stacks and I love how she draws her purchases, and has even put out a collection in a book.

The bigger purchases this month are a tattoo (my third) to commemorate the building (a ladder), no longer driving a Honda Fit (Clifton drives it now), and joining the Subaru coven of former Fit drivers (hi Briar and Kat). I miss my Fit, but I love my seat warmers, and I love having a car that’s not from 2013 (hello, technology!).

Years ago I taught a class where we made cards out of the cards you may be getting in the mail from various charitable organizations. I wish they would use those resources for their charity, but it seems impossible to stop, since many sell your name to others. But since we have these cards and envelopes, I tried to use them? Mitzi, one of the artists in that class really took to that idea and she regularly sends me great cards. Because I am a procrastinator, her cards arrive and move me into gear soon after. This is the card Mitzi sent for Halloween.

I had just received a packet of Christmas cards, so I glued the card together, and added a grey paper to cover most of the face of the card, then started to make a witch with small scraps I keep in a little basket on my desk, that plus marker outline, done. Less than an hour total.

I mainly tear my collage scraps.

The hat folds to fit in the envelope. Kinda wonky, but I still think a wonky hand made card is more fun than a bought card?
