It's a small world........................


I've been working on some small projects lately and having fun with them. These are pictures of the projects. The grouped twelve are Twinchies I did for a holiday project and the grouped six are Inchies that I did for a local exchange.

This is the first time I've worked on such small substrates but found you can really jam-pack them with art! The Inchies are 1 x 1 and the Twinchies are 2 x 2's. Cool, huh?

The third picture is of a 4 x 6 collaged postcard I did for an online project. The theme is Christmas and I started this piece with alcohol inks and went on from there.

I haven't been doing much painting really. I don't have any shows coming up until 2010 so I have a little time. I will be continuing, this week, with my Collage Workshop at the Albany Art Room and then planning some local workshops. More to come on that very soon!

In meantime; hope you are all well and having a good weekend. I wish you a safe, healthy and happy upcoming week.

Much love - Marilyn xxoo

I LOVE the itty bitties, Marilyn -- you could make jewelry out of them by attaching pins to the back, couldn't you? They would be so lovely to wear!
