Escape into Whimsy

Escape into Whimsy

Whimsy is a flight of my imagination and a result of my love affair with paper and paint and just plain playing with my work. Whimsy won me an award and now sits proudly in a gallery. A grown-up version of my Uncommon Cards, Whimsy is made of hand painted and created papers and found objects. It is sort of a painting reconstructed.  Whimsy measures 9 x 20" and is framed in a shadow box.

MY UNCOMMON CARDS

The photos at the side are examples of my new project: Uncommon Cards. These are tiny jeweled masterpieces on card stock  accompanied by an envelope.
They are in two sizes: one is a gift tag size of 3" x 3" and the other regular card size: 4 1/2 " x 5 1/2 inches. They are also suitable for framing as each is an original and cannot be duplicated. These little art pieces have taught me a lot and as I do them it is easy to get lost in them.
