After working on my crayon papers for months now I have been invited to exhibit them at the Rockport Library!
Please come to the Open House on Wednesday the 26th from 4:00 - 6:00 PM to view them in person. (The detail is luscious.)
I will also be teaching a workshop on Saturday the 29th from 1:30 - 3:00PM. All materials provided. And it is easier than it looks: coloring brown paper with crayons. But then there are a few twists to make it interesting. (There's ironing and crumpling, embroidery, and embellishments with buttons, papers and beads...)
I am so looking forward to seeing you there!

WOW!
Wish I could be there to see these in person--the texture must be amazing up close and personal.
Congratulations and have a great time!
XXOO~~♥

The texture is thrilling to me. I have loved, loved making them!!! All those little beadies. :)
These turned out great! I might have to try my hand at this technique, my first try was terrible. Love yours.
Hey Jan, have you ever posted pics of your papers? Or did you really not like them so much?
Has anyone else posted pics? Link here because I'd love to see them and I will send others your way.
Hi there! Jan, (your 3rd comment) sent me here to loook at your papers - they're fabulous! I set myself a challenge of one or 2 saleable collage a week this year, after doing a square a day last year (I have nearly 360 precious, to me, squares in 2 'sketchbooks')I used Jill A kennedy's article, too ;), love her work. Because of my self imposed time constraint I didn't take it as far as you (or Jill!) & you inspire me to carry it on, thank you.
So sad you had to give up that studio space - I watched the video. Maybe one day it will be the right time again.
Hi Emma, I went to take a peek at yours on your blog and I like them so much! It is so interesting to see how the original drawings change over and over again with each step - yeah?
Thanks for stopping by.Oh! and I did a Brooklyn Art Library book too. More fun.
Robin, my crayon pieces have not been on my blog, they are buried in a pile of papers, maybe I will cut them up to use somewhere else some day but they are not worthy of much. Your pieces are so labor intensive! I looked again closer today and can hardly believe all the detail you have put on them! Gorgeous!
I make sense out of my love for embellishment by remembering that the word "bead" comes from the Sanskrit word for "prayer".
Congratulations on your Rockport Library show!
What fabulous work, I love it, it looks very complicated, with so much detail.
Thanks, Ro. I visited your blog - am loving your journal pages. Wowzers.
