Here's a doll who brings me joy. Keith came out of my husbands old suit vest material. No pattern or plan as usual, which is why I am so happy with him I guess. Posted by Picasa

Not sure why I like this page so much but I do. Could be the vintage magazine people. Posted by Picasa

One of the first pages I did when starting altered books. I quickly found that personal symbology and meaning appear even when they are not planned. Making the whole area of altered books even more fascinating to me.Posted by Picasa

In The Garden This is a beeswax collage I did during the spring last year. The wax came from a day trip to the bee farm. I love the smell of beeswax and found this technique very relaxing. Posted by Picasa

Protected .........This is a watercolor I did the other day I had no idea the angel was going to appear. Isn't it funny how that happens? Posted by Picasa

Here it is January 2006, a new year.
One started with the intention of having a Joyful one.
So far I have been joyful every day if only for awhile.
I am so happy that my inner child has come out to play
(my intentions last year? To become more childlike)
and I intend to nourish her soul. I paint wings alot at the
moment, angels, birds and feathers.
To me, for now, this is Joy.



Do you want to come fly with me?
Take my hand here we go
The journeys not hard
if you enjoy the show...........
