Speaking of green, I'm happy to report that all the white paper that I use for my wall art is now all eco-friendly (my cards have always been). The paper is manufactured by a company that uses green energy in the form of a water mill. I've introduced a few of new pieces to my wall art page that you can see here.
My efforts in being more 'green' have also extended to using what I have. The cork, that is making it's first appearance in my wall art, is actually part of scraps that I had on hand from old projects. The entire alphabet will be forthcoming. Slowly... but surely.
Now, after a relaxing weekend, it's time to get to work! :)
Oh, I LOVE this! The cork is wonderful, but the "b" just really speaks to me (obviously)!
ReplyDeleteMore delightfulness from you. And I love your commitment to green, and the way you use your scraps to make more beautiful things. Also, I was so excited that your latest tree (#10) will soon be hanging on my wall.
ReplyDeleteSo perfect for my little guy "B."
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the different texture that the cork brings to your work.
I can't wait to see the rest of the alphabet! This is great..so simple but lovely.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I've tagged you as one of my favorite blogs, but don't feel obligated to participate. I know you are very busy! :o) I just wanted you to know I love reading your blog!
The green really does make your work pop!
ReplyDeleteHello! I know you from the inspiration boards! This is sooo cute! For the longest time I have been meaning to ask if you've ever heard of a fellow cutting artist Ida Pearle? Her work is amazing, I always think you might appreciate and enjoy it! http://www.idapearle.com/
ReplyDeleteI purchased this beautiful piece from your Etsy shop! I'm thrilled to receive it as it is a gift for a dear friend who loves butterflies, which have become a meaningful symbol to him of growth, change, freedom, and beauty.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I hope you will make some more of your beautiful tree pieces with blue backgrounds. I'm eager to purchase one for my home. :)
Thank you for sharing your wonderful work.
I can't wait for the rest of the alphabet. If you're not going in order can I put in a request for P? My daughter is REALLY (crazily) excited about her own initial at the moment--would love to purchase this for her as an extra special gift :)
ReplyDeleteKeep up the fantastic work on the blog and with the art!
Hi! I love checking in on your blog to see what you're up to, but this is the first time I've commented. I too am in love with paper. It's almost an addiction! My current 'fixation' is on using vintage dictionary and hymnal pages in my artwork. I've also used old hard-back book covers as canvases for my pieces (like on my icon.) They have such interesting textures that come through. Keep on bein' creative! (My art journal is a collaboration with my sisters and mom:

I love your artwork. AND I love the fact that you use eco-friendly paper. This is a fantastic idea and something we should all aspire to do with our creations - that is, use sustainable and eco-friendly options where ever possible.
ReplyDeleteIve just written an interesting post on recycling fashion in my blog. If you have some time it would be great if you could visit. I have a passion for creative thinking that is also practical and positive in effect.
