Thank you for visiting my art blog! I am an artist in southern California, and this blog is about my journey into art. My art is mixed media original art, and very often my vehicle for sharing is a greeting card. I paint and ink and stamp and rip and shred and glue and emboss, but no designer paper is harmed in the making of my collages. It all starts with blank paper.

Send Us Your Spirit

The confirmation of my daughter and her dear friends offered the opportunity for this personal project.  I made three cards depicting the Holy Spirit with a dove on a red background, and other symbols of faith.  (I got a little help from clip art on this one, since I was not offering it up as completely original artwork.)

I'm enjoying a masking goo that I have been using which, when stamped, does not allow ink to penetrate.  That is how I was able to get the effect of the words on the dove.

It was a beautiful evening for our children, one which I will never forget.
