Creative Adventures



Recently, I had the great honor of creating an artwork
for Delain Johnson's new office:




I've known Delain since I was a little girl.
Her sons went to school with my brother Reed.




She has such a heart to counsel and care . . .



I know she will continue to help and encourage others.
When I delivered to her home,
we shared such rich conversation and hugs.

And she gave me many new ideas an inspiration for art.
She was participating in a community rummage sale,
and so I got to trade with her for these:





I am so excited to get to work and share what they become!
In addition, I have a little peg-hanger,
a 5-6 foot wooden shelf with pegs
and 4 hollow wooden columns that are already primed
...all from Delain.

Looking forward to sharing what they become!

Sharing photos of the work in progress on my new facebook fan page:
I'd "love" your "likes"!

  2. Love all the elements you used in this piece. I've wanted to get my hands dirty in mixed media for a while - and I've started a few pieces, but for whatever reason I'm holding myself back and go to other crafts that I feel comfortable doing. That's it -- I'll give it a go. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

  3. What a perfect name for a counseling center! And how special that you got to create a piece of art to minister to the people who go there...(or maybe it was just for your friend?!?!) And I love all the unique goodness in those pieces from the rummage sale! Hope to get peeks of your art that graces those "cast offs".

    Blessings on your weekend...
