"Witches Brew Recipe" Altered Art

This is a small wooden wall hanging, which has been painted, sanded, stained, stamped, embossed and embellished. The metal "page tabs" display charms for the book's subjects: "Potions", "Frog's Legs" and "Eye of Newt".

Blog Award

Upon my return from vacation, I was pleasantly surprised to find out, that I had been given a Blog Award, from a fellow artist whose artwork & blog I admire, Lisa Lectura (ll*creations). Thank you Lisa!

Lisa is an extremely talented artist who creates gorgeous works of art, one of which, I am honored to own. I hope she doesn't mind my posting this, but I just wanted to show off one of her beautiful paintings - "Soar". You can see more of her creations on her blog (Look for ll*creations under my Art Blogs list)

Nature's Art

Well...It's been a busy month, seems like August just disappeared!

I just recently got back from our family's camping trip to Killbear Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada. A beautiful and perfect place to "get away", spend quality time with the family, re-connect with nature and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. I have been there several times and I am always amazed at how gorgeous nature can be. Here are a couple of photos I took while I was there...

The beaches are crystal clear and are reminiscent of large "underwater" Japanese rock gardens with the lines in the sand left from tides & waves.
