Anatomical Heart Shadowbox #5


found wood, paper, vinyl, paint
8 x 10 3/4 inches
I think this was the first one I made last  year...so I  put the frame on first, then painted it and added the design without painting the lath.  I like the natural look and the more roughly painted edge inside.

Mixed Media Quickie Number Thirty-Two

Air Mail
book cutouts, painted newspaper bits, found envelope, matboard
8 x 10 inches
Okay, this is one of my favorites.  Who doesn't love astronauts?  I don't think this letter would make the trip, though.  No air in space.

Mixed Media Quickie Number Ten

Centerpiece
found book page, painted book page, greeting card parts, vinyl, painted wallpaper
approx. 8 x 9 inches
I love old greeting card imagery.  I greatly admire illustrators and envy their skills.  The floral arrangement here takes me back to my flower shop days--flowers make the table!  But only if you buy from independent flower shops.  If you use those internet conglomerations, you are THROWING YOUR MONEY AWAY and will maybe be disappointed.  Take it from me, be a pal and spend that money locally!
