Last month I was contacted by a young lady to paint the perfect gift for her grandfather who was retiring. She had a photograph of the two of them together and she said it was her favorite picture. Happy retirement Col. Allen!

Discarded bling-Tuesday’s Treasure Chest
Posted in Art, Tuesday's Treasure Chest, tagged assemblage, Bling, construction, jewelry, shells on June 4, 2013| 3 Comments »
I gave away my old jewelry and buttons a few months ago, of course I need them now, sigh.
My artist/friend Betty K. has inspired me to create bling assemblages with “pretty” junk, so I have been visiting antique/flea markets scouring the broken jewelry cases and displays. Sometimes I come away with some finds and sometimes I leave with lots of sneezes.
Last week I finished my first bling assemblage and started my second one, the second one includes tiny shells and jewelry.
I am hooked on bling junk now, thanks Betty K.
