Work In Progress...

wish for a peak?
She is a work in progress, waiting for her finishing touches.



 This is how it all unravels...


Corrugated cardboard being sheltered with gesso. 


Creating layers, with paint and inks without any hesitation. 



Recycling an abandon and abused canvas, found on the side of the road. 


Torn papers for my pile of "stash".



All mixed together to make a 
* mixed- media coleslaw *


Now she rests. Awaiting, wondering, filled with anticipation... 
hoping to be hung up on the wall.



Paint with your heart. Tell your stories.
Hang them up on the walls, for everyone to see!

    1. Hello Vickie
      Thank you for taking an interest in my cardboard artwork... :]
      She is not an exact measurement (7 1/2" x 9 1/2"), due to using recyclable materials, you can run into this issue.
      I am okay with it, makes each piece authentic!!
      Enjoy the process...
