| What have I been up to? Well, cleaning my studio for one thing....and it is a BIG job! A little daunting but once you start you have to keep at it, right? I am making progress.... I will show you pictures when I'm finally done... |
 |
| And, I've been whining a lot. San Francisco has been crazy hot. And it isn't normal for us at all. My house has been so hot I haven't been able to sleep, or do much of anything. But I see some fog rolling in now.....thank God. |
 |
| I took a collage workshop with Molly Meng at SF Center for the Book. Lots of fun. She is a delightful instructor. |
 |
| I went to a Typewriter Jam at SF Center for the Book too. TOO much fun. People came and brought their own typewriters and what beauties they were. I think the biggest hot of the evening was the large type typewriter my friend Monica brought. SOOOOOOOOO cool. I sure would like one of those but it seems they are very hard to come by. |
 |
| I've been making weekly trips to Scrap SF (the main reason my studio is in such dire need of cleaning and organizing). I found these old photo booklets and changed them up a little to make them Ephemera Sleeve Booklets. Pretty nifty way to organize you small bits for collage, don't you think? |
 |
| OK, another reason for my overloaded studio is my trips to the SF Public Library book sales....I admit it....I don't usually buy bibles but when I opened it and found that hair inside....well, I could NOT resist. Don't you wonder about the story behind this? I sure do. |
 |
| More from the library sale....I am repurposing books to make altered books and collages....I just love old, old papers. |
 |
| Altered Book Show The show closed and my piece sold.....I went up to Marin to see the show.... |
 |
| Another wonderful collage workshop at Scrap SF taught by the amazing Sally Wassink. Just look at those tables! We had such a great time and the hours just flew by. |
 |
| I dragged out my old Big Shot and have been having fun with some creative die cutting.... |
 |
| My collages made at Sally's ScrapSF workshop |
 |
| Sending out some mail art of course.... |
 |
| More die cutting (easy to do on a HOT day). I love using very old papers like these for the little bags... |
 |
| OK, now I think I definitely deserve a gin and tonic....it's HOT and I have been SO good. That's my story and I'n sticking to it. SEND GOOD MAIL --- GET GOOD MAIL |
