The craving to draw elephants...

Don’t think I have used elephants in my work, but they showed up the other morning and seem to be here for me to explore for awhile. This is mixed paper and paint collage.

Painting and enjoying the process...

Pink flamingo jammy pants

Sewing from a pattern and using new fabric instead of  “altered clothing”  it was fun and in my world- everyone needs pink flamingo pj pants, 

Boro stitching....

I’m still drawn to boro stitching-so meditative and calming. This is next project, wools and antique buttons.
