What’s new at the studio

Little House recently hosted the first of a series of monthly art journal workshops, and it was loads of fun! We discussed the basics of art journal creation, and then we focused on techniques to add color and texture to the first several pages of our blank books. We experimented with Gelli plate printing and came up with some beautiful “happy accidents” that we’ll add to our journals, creating the framework on which we’ll build our creative story telling. Stay tuned and watch these masterpieces come to life!

There are so many things that can be done with paper fabric! Over the last few weeks, I’ve had paper fabric pieces all over the studio in various stages of completion. Finished pieces – journals and bookmarks – have been dropped off at CC Lowell in Worcester and Dandelions in Barre, and new pieces are taking shape in the studio. Here is a wall hanging being pieced together. Stay tuned for updates on the progress!

UPDATE: She’s finished and ready to hang at a local gift shop!

Since the holiday rush has passed, it’s been a productive vacation. The studio is warm and cozy and there are lots of new projects percolating! I’m really excited to be experimenting with creating something called paper fabric. It’s a somewhat time consuming multi-step process, which forces me to slow down and enjoy myself – a nice change of pace from the past several weeks. Here are some of the results of this wonderful experiment – writing and art journals and bookmarks. Stay tuned for more fun with my paper fabric projects!
