What’s happening…

I started with INSTAGRAM a  while ago but am starting a regular practice again. It will be an easy way for me to get work from the studio out. I have been photographing completed quilts and paintings at first light on the weekends.

So, I will be able to just load them to my Instagram account right from my cellphone. Just trying to catch up.

Getting my ducks in a row…

I’ve been busy these past months getting my ducks in a row.  Re-organizing my office and studio space; ordering supplies and starting my painting sessions were among the first things to get done.

 

 


Sharing what I’ve learned…

Some people lead, others follow.  Still others march by the beat of their own drum.  When I realized this is me, I felt like I belonged.

[EVENT] February 2020 – Mountain Blues Sold at Auction

Mountain Blues (2016) Painting Sold at Local Auction

I found out that my painting Mountain Blues was sold at Safe Alliance’s Art with Heart auction this year.  I love sending my baby out into the world while doing it for a great cause – battered and abused women.  Love this event and look forward to next year.

DSDLAB Tutorial 1.1 – How to Create Mosaic Textures in Photoshop

Mosaic textures are a great way to add a gridded, 3D effect onto your digital designs. I recently tried this effect on an image of a sunflower that I silk painted and subsequently printed as fabric. I think the effect can add depth and interest to any design.

What you’ll need
Photoshop CS or Elements or any graphics program
