Here are nos. 9, 10, 11 and 12 in my heart series. They are all on 4.4" canvas.

5x7" frame called Fairy Tale. Lots of wooden strips, cut out florals, string and beads which, together, give this one a story book quality.

This is Camel's Palace, a 5x7" frame featuring a pack of Camel cigarettes and writing by George Finster. It was one of my early frames, done back around 2008.

This piece is named Lions and Tigers Oh My. It started out as two 5x7" Ikea frames, glued together and covered with a brown cotton quilt fabric and is about 3" deep. There are several small ceramic cats and a Laurel Burch brooch hidden in the center.

This is #554. Lots of jewelry, vintage buttons and an interesting fabric, wrapping the frame. I was very attached to this one but sold it anyway. At least I still have the pictures.

This is Larval Stage. 5x7" and not sure how deep. The yellow pearls inspired me. It is packed away and would be a hard sell, so I kept it.

This is a black and white necklace, posed and close-up. the tab and about 10 beads and made with poly clay by me and the rest of it is mostly old beads from necklaces in junk shops and thrift stores.

This is from my bird series. 10x10", grids painted on stretched canvas. Poly clay birds mounted on two squares of wood with beads. This one is in my bedroom. I made a mold of the bird from an old bird brooch.

I made this small heart yesterday. I painted an old green linen napkin with acrylic paint. The back of the piece is covered with felt and a hanger is attached. I do a lot of green, black and white for some reason. I mostly keep them as not everyone likes that color combo.

#582 in the frame series. the whole thing was inspired by that pink deco earring hanging from the top. I think I sold it. Can't remember.

Screen Gems. 5x7". Mostly old screen mounted on small black-painted barbecue skewers. The frame is covered in an orange, white and yellow piece of cotton.

This is my work area in Chicago. This was an early (simple) frame in progress. Note all the buttons. I used a lot back then.

Grid series. 10x10" plum.

This is how the necklace looks while wearing. They also look good draped across a mirror... or in a barn. Anywhere.

These are my necklaces, laid out on the worktable. They are about 3 ft. long and one side goes through the other. There are mostly old beads and home-made poly clay beads on these.

#8. This one is Penny's. Penny is my personal Pope.
May 22, 2025 at 1:15 PM
Small hearts #7. I kept this one as I love the black, white, green combo.
May 22, 2025 at 1:13 PM
#581. A fanciful fabric accented by a black feather. It mostly starts with the fabric.
