Report Cover Art

For an art therapy class for elder care we chose an extraordinary elder and wrote a paper on the person. We also made a piece of art with images of the person and work for the reports cover.

I choose Georgia O'Keeffe due to her being a truly inspirational woman who continues to do art up unto she was 96 years old.

I printed the images, burned the edges of the paper, added flower petals from a farmer's market flower, and watercolor some of the edges.

Here is the cover art for the paper with her two beautiful works and picture of her.

Beading

I am going to start to get into beading and I'm pretty excited about it. Right now I am in the mists of creating a mobile with wire and shimmery beads.

Here is a sneak peak if the bead colors. The art piece will be post lasted this year.
