SUPER BOWL WHAT???????




I don't watch or "DO" sports, so during the super bowl I created this....I made the house out of free cardboard and the glued on color images of my own work.  I LOVE color as you can see.  I would love a comment.

Another Journaling creation.......

This goes along with my other piece about mean people, gossips, back stabbers and such....

Heart Grid, stitched cardboard.....

I used this as a Catharsis......

I have been dealing with some moody, not so nice women at work and I decided to use it in my work....though it is dark it carries a universal message.....

Heart themed work for the new year

After purchasing some jewelry from coldwater creek I had these cool boxes and I thought I would make something with them.  Valentine's Day is approaching so that is the theme I started with.

It is a new year and hoping this one is better
