Is this it?  I might come across some other pre-cut 4 x 5s, because stuff just turns up around here.  I do have, however, a plethora of smaller pieces of paper which I will probably start on sometime.  I have no excuse not to be working.

Here comes my last five mini collages, folks.  I have run out of old pieces of 4 x 5 inch matboard pieces--I can't believe it!  I'm so glad that I was able to use up some old stuff and even incorporate it into some designs.  I would have had more if I'd not left them out in the rain for a few days, therefore causing a bit of mold to grow on some of the paper.  They were mostly protected in little clear envelopes, though.

Today I'm installing larger mixed media work at Parisi Cafe in Union Station, through the Now Showing program--!  Very excited!  Pictures to come.

P.S. I'm sorry the title to this one is a pun.

The idea of shortening makes me wanna gag, but it's a necessary evil for yummy pie crust.  My recipe only uses butter, flour, salt, and vodka--put it in a food processor and BAM! 

Hey, I'm on Instagram, are you?

Some people wouldn't consider most of these "cars" at all, really, since we have a truck, a station wagon, and a big ol' van.  Not sorry.

The black vinyl edge on the left is from the F that was originally on this little guy.
