"South Laguna", experimenting with mixed-media ATC

I'm really into the beach theme and think I will carry that throughout the summer in my blog....anyway, I'm experimenting alot with some different mediums I have been wantin' to try. I tell you, this took the longest of anything I've worked on thus far. It's got layers of build up on it, acrylics, color pencils, gesso, cut collage pieces and wallpaper, paint on top of that, some markers, you get the picture! Anyhow, I'm definitely trying things out. I make a lot of mistakes, I will tell you about a few pieces I made the last few days later. I recognize this is part of the process when you are trying to explore new territory. Anyhow, I do share almost every thing I make on my blog. even if I'm not 100% happy with it. It helps get me out of my comfort zone. Anyway, enough on that. Gotta go to the eyedoc again. I am still having trouble with my eye. Say a prayer for me or send happy thoughts my way, ok! Have a GREAT beachy day (if only in your mind! lol!)

You have no idea how inspiring your artwork is and I absolutely love the fact that you recycle images, paper, wallpaper, junk mail etc. I know I won't have time to try anything until summer's end (too much garden to care for and several visits planned with friends coming from Ontario to the west coast), but I'd love to get my teeth into something when the wintery rainy season starts. You are amazing and deserve a real pat on the back for the amount of work you churn out on a regular basis.

Barb--you are so kind. start saving your gardening ephemera: little seed envies, etc. so you can make a garden collage!! Thank you again for your kind words! --Lia
