Bookshelf

Decopauge & Acrylics. A friend of ours gave us the bookshelf in pretty bad condition. I loved the style though, so cleaned, sanded & painted it one weekend. Decoupaged the next. However, it was silly to decoupage the shelf, since you can't see it if I use it, and it's not really useful, if I can't use it.

Ode to Ophelia Tryptch

Decopauge/Watercolor/Acrylic on Wood. I love the story of Ophelia, the Pre-Raphaelite painters that did her justice, and WOOD! :)

Box of Dreams for Andrea


This is a cigar box that was gift from South America. Before I even started decorating it, I thought it was a box of dreams, so voila! And who better to give a box of dreams to than my friend, Andrea.
Decopauge/acrylics, Corona bottle tops, scrapbooking items inside.

Valentine Postcard Tin

I now have over 220 postcards from around the world through Postcrossing.com. They are all incredible, and combine my love of art, postcards, travel & people!
The white wicker basket to the left of the red tin is filled with postcards I have on hand to send out to people.

Wall of Color

These are all items done on wood. Some painted, some decoupaged, some both. I like to work on wood because it seems more forgiving.
