I started with grabbing my favorite items....an old vintage milk cap, Red and Ivory ticking paper, red seam binding mixed with ginghams, old rhinestone button, and metal embossed border that I aged myself. All things I adore!
but my favorite of all??? These vintage ceramic cherries...with the most perfect kitschiness. I finally found a home for them. These things all symbolize my love for the old and aged...things with history. My art always has a touch of that. I love layers and dimensions....things that make you take a second look. Of course the cherries are loved because they reflect my name.
Here is it all done and sitting on a little easel. It just makes me smile....it is so me!!!
