 I have three new circular collages to share in this post.


Not one of my favorites for sure. I thought the prompts were interesting and were easy enough to fit inside the circle. However it is missing a strong focal point. 

The prompts are:

1. Pattern with contrasting colors (red/green paper behind pocket)

2. Something sharp or pointed (cheddar cheese)

3. Old library card  or catalog entry (I had a card pocket from a library book)

4. snippet of a handwritten recipe

5. Clipping of a meaningful or mysterious phrase

6. Bonus: something gray or silver (foil wrapper as background)


This one is super simple but it covers the prompts. I have decided I am going to start another challenge for myself using the same cwp prompts but on a rectangular (possibly 5x7) substrate. Sometimes the 4" circle is just too confining. I have ideas that I think work great with the prompts but find it impossible to make them work in this format.

1. An image of something being held
2. A pair of glasses or a a monocle
3. Something bright
4. A picture of a piece of jewelry
5. Your favorite number or numbers
6. .A piece of graph paper

This is card #23


This one is okay. I intended for the stamping on the text to be very faint and that failed miserably. 
 

Prompts: 1. An empty chair or bench

                2.  A bold graphic pattern (pillow on the bench)

                3.  Instructions

                4. Stationery with a unique design

                5  A tree in winter

                6. Bonus: Label or tag from food packaging


The ABC Challenge has a longer wait time between prompts so I have only one to post and that is the letter K.

Prompts are: Kangaroo, Kitten, Kiss, and Kite. Here I had the room and still could not come up with a theme. I guess it was just one of those weeks.

The final two are the Full Deck Challenge cards.

The prompt for #21 was PUZZLE. Much as I love jigsaw puzzles, I opted to go in a different direction after seeing lots of puzzle pieces used in very clever ways on the Group Facebook Page. 

The answer to the puzzle is on the back of the card and by lifting the flaps you will find clues for the letter E and K.


My constant is a word that names a color. (Blanc Linen) My carry forward  is the eyelets.


Number 22, the final card for this post is this butterfly that has been sliced and reassembled.


The prompt was CUT-UP.

My constant is the color name Noir and my carry forward is the rub-on numbers and letters.

On The Upswing

After the last post, it seemed a good idea to do a follow up post to report that things are moving along nicely. This shot was taken before the remodel started.  The door at the end of the hallway leads into the bath now being remodeled. This is where the changes started.  The trim is off the doorway and the door opening will be enlarged to the width of the hallway. This shot taken of that same area now looks like this.  By closing the entrance from the hallway, that bathroom will now be the master bath by keeping the entrance from the bedroom only. This is how it looks from the bathroom side.  the door on the left leads to the hallway and the one on the right into the bedroom. Now it looks like this.  Part of the hallway has become part of the bathroom.  This is where the vanity will be installed.  The partial doorway you see on the right leads to the bedroom. Turning 180 degrees and looking across the room to the opposite cor...

Behind The Scenes

There is always so much that has to happen in a rehab that can't be documented as easily as progress photos or before and after shots.  Hours are spent selecting tile, choosing the perfect wall color, and even figuring out what shade of grout will make that tile sing. Then comes weighing in on the best pattern for tile layout. The internet is invaluable when searching for light fixtures, but it can also take you down the rabbit hole with the thousands of choices. This one is actually as long as it looks--48 inches.  Hopefully it looks good in place. (I know, weird looking.  It's upside down in this picture.) Speaking of getting lost scrolling through products on line, I got sidetracked for hours on one site that had 27,877 shower curtains. SERIOUSLY!!  It's easy to lose focus, Then there are faucets and shower heads to think about.  EDUCATING YOURSELF ON THIS TOPIC SHOULD BE WORTH A COUPLE  HOURS OF COLLEGE CREDIT A ...

Out of No Where

Isn't it uncanny how a project can sneak into an already crowded schedule? Recently a friend invited me to do a walk through on a two-family he was planning to buy.  A couple pieces of furniture had been left behind and they were dumpster material to him.  Did I go with him thinking there was something there for me?   NO. Was I looking for something in particular? NO.  Did the thought of finding a new project ever cross my mind? NO!  But, see for yourself.  Could you have passed this up?  It was sturdy (translates to a little heavy). There was nothing wrong with it.  It even had all the shelves and the pins that hold them in place.  And without the shelves it was not quite as heavy.  (Try telling me that as my friend and I are hauling it down a flight of stairs.)  More shelving on the side made it even more practical.  I'm sure they could be used for something besides VHS tapes. Here it is in my studio w...
