Collage | Squares in a Grid
Held in the palms of thousands of disgruntled people over the centuries have been ideas worth millions – if they only had taken the first step and then followed through. Robert M. Hayes Thanks for all your kind feedback on my post about reseting your art practice yesterday. I’m more than ten years in on […]
Going back to basics with your Artwork
Going back to basics today! When you take a longer break from your main art practice, it is sometimes hard to find your way back into the well known and comfortable making of art… You want to find your way back to that wonderful place where you know intuitively what to do next, and maybe […]
Hello Acrylics, Hello painted grid
Hello Acrylics, welcome out to play. I wish we could have a rendez vous every day you and me, but alas, it’s not happening. Actually it’s happening way too seldom these days. I know where you are and I should make time, but then it doesn’t happen. A week after thinking I should make time […]

365 Collages | Week 17

Checkered Wrist Warmers
Truth be told I knit these with yarn from my stash, but the colour combination could’ve been inspired by this book I’m reading. It’s called Hello Kitty Must Die by Angela S. Choi. It’s a quick, funny read about a young Asian American woman who will go far to bury the Hello Kitty stereotype forever… […]
Index cards piling up on me
I have not made an-index-card-a-day but I have made a card for each day so the pile is really big now! The June cards (above) are all scanned but the book I had planned to do with them is not. I actually think that the pile is too thick for a spiral binding! 30 index […]

the Sketchbook Project | Lines, squares and cross...
I got a sketchbook with the theme grids and lines in the mail last year for The Brooklyn Art Library and their huge sketchbook exhibition. This exhibition is now on tour in the US, and if you have the time I think you should go see it. I would spend a few hours (or days) […]
the Sketchbook Project | Pink Grids and lines
Today, an update from my personal sketchbook in The Sketchbook Project that I am participating in. Some finished spreads in my (trying to) “keep it simple” Moleskine sketchbook. Here we go; Pink squares in a pencil line grid. Lines of my painted paper. Rows of letters. Now collaged together from my “good scrap pile” and […]
the Sketchbook Project | Grids + b/w pages
This is update number three about my participation in/progress of The Sketchbook Project. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it below. Thanks!
