New Shrines

 New shrines I have been working on.
They are recycled cardboard, hot glue for texture, aluminum tape and multiple layers of PAINT.  I was looking through a Micheal DeMeng  book and got the inspiration.  Hope you like these.....tell me what you think.

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.

I wondered to myself if I could hand sew cardboard....well, you can!  This is what I did here.  I used watercolor crayons and gel pens.

Valentines Day Artwork 2011

With Valentines day swiftly approaching I wanted to work on some HEART ART.
On the black canvas I used complicated papers I made myself for the colorful hearts.

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.....

Here is the front and inside of the box.....

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
