JoJo's energy, in the photo above, has the energy I need.
As mentioned in Sunday's Blog #2719, Brandon needed
access to under the desk cords, as well as the desktop, screens 
andlaptop.But now I am looking at ...



I have a mess, stacks, and stacks, tiring to even look at.





Maybe I'll do an after if and when an after happens?
 

I much preferred the view out my studio window.

Great mail from Kim Draper, in Wyoming!
Muse Mail is always such a treat to receive.
I was waiting, hoping to get my scanner working, 
but it's still playing hooky, so I shot these with the i-phone.








Thank you Kim for these treasures! I love them!









And today, a little reveal of my tiny yard, mentioned here.
Not quite done, but 300% better thanks to Mark & Jesse. 


Jesse & Mark


Most of my 10 x 60' yard was carpeted with pine needles.







The yard has been tamed, notice the rocks?




Trees trimmed, one cut down, gutter cleaned, an all day job.




























The Sago palm trimmed, the monster palm now well-mannered.




Looking left, above ... and right, below.
 



If you notice a lot of bells, wind chimes & hanging stuff ...
it is said that they protect from evil spirits.
I have so many, I am protecting the whole neighborhood.
 

the previous umbrella base
























 I made several trips to the trash, but still have a lot of stuff!
Huge improvement in one day! 
Thanks Mark & Jesse! My heroes!

Finishing up the four week Mixed Media series ...





I wanted to post some of the class work by artists.
Week 4 was mixed media on books.




Cut and used singly, or turned and used double, length-wise.














This was just 
a sample.
Not great, 
but showed
possibilities.

A step-by-step 
of the process 
making it can
 be seen here.










by Linda

Linda used a small address book, gutted & rotated length-wise,
utilizing the original book lining and adding artwork.



by Cathy

by Valerie

Valerie's book had a beautiful lining, she added her art work to it.


by Hannah
Hannah did two singles and hung one from a branch!


by Hannah

by Susan

Susan also used the original book lining 
as the background for her art, work in progress.




Gitty chose to use her book interior as a free standing art.


by George


George lined the book inside with pages from the book, 
then adding collage elements.



by Linda



by Judy

Judy used her book's original lining as background, 
and maybe inspiration for her work.


by Connie

Connie designed her book to hang on the wall as shown above,
then to be opened to show the artwork below, work in progress.

A great group and a fun three hours together.









Last week's class was mixed media on wood, here.
The class, being just three hours in length, 
does not always allow for completion. 
When I am really lucky the artists bring, or send 
me photos of their completed work. 

 

by Linda




Linda utilized photos from her childhood on the Polo Field 
in Garden Grove. She reduced their size and printed 
for collage onto the bamboo polo ball. 
Amazing work on a round surface.



by Judy

Judy finished her wood square panel mixed media collage,
using various tissue & hand marked papers. 
A beautiful gift for her granddaughter.


I love seeing the completed final works!
