Everything You Can Imagine Is Real

Mixed media collage on canvas board. Made from various scrap papers, vintage papers and cutouts.

Everything you can imagine is real!

This saying can be true when it comes to art. Truly you can bring anything to life in your artwork. Your imagination is your sketchbook. Pretend you are swept away to a new place where you are surrounded by your favorite things. Use pictures and words to describe your feelings and thoughts. Then everything you can imagine will become real.

A Special Treasure Box

This is my treasure box. I make all sorts of little artsy pieces to go in it. It is an ongoing project since I will be adding more little things as time goes by. My hope is that one day I fill it full then I can wrap an old ribbon or belt around it and pass it on to someone special in my life.

Yes, I know the pictures are not all that great. I am still learning how to use my new camera...lol.

Yield To Love

Invigorating... is the process we all go through when we allow ourselves to love someone; and even when we allow someone to love us as well. A picture of the depth and thoughts and our journey into the freedom that comes when we just yield and let ourselves go.
