So, wanna see what I made?

One pic is of my parents' Christmas present. One is an overview of a set of windows I did for a friend. One is a detailed view of one window. And the other is a piece I finished last night.

The other two are of the top of a hiking staff I did with the Lunatic Artist a while back.

More to come later.

I like them
Funky yet simple.

And I'm still stealing the idea of the leaf/star thing infront of the window for a giant collage for my kids' bedroom. I'll send you a pic when it is done.

I'll be looking for it!
They're supposed to be ivy leaves, of course, but they do rather resemble stars now that you mention it...

My idea for even doing a collage came from some funky pink wrapping paper my mother found.
I knew I would need new art for the way we are re-decorating their room. Then my mother sent this crazy wrapping paper over with the thought I could do something with it. I thought for several days and came up with absolute zippo. Then I saw your ivy and the leaves look similar to the stars on this paper....viola a thought struck.

I'm going to try to get it done this week while I'm on vacation. But I also have to re-finish several pieces of furniture, re-arrange the room, pull all the baby stuff off the walls, etc....and we're getting over being sick.

But any way I plan it, I have to get the collage done asap before the kids decide to play with the paper only to look at me innocently and say, "Oh, were you going to use this for something?"

Me likey!
Especially the leaves. That sort of thing would look amazing in my parents house (thatched cottage, beams etc). Congrats!

It's something I'm experimenting with.
I like the idea of free form open pieces with a lot of open space in them. That way it doesn't obscure the window, but can still catch the light nicely.

I'm accepting commissions, by the way. *grin*
