This is the first hat I’ve ever made, and boy was it ever a hoot! To enter the challenge that Kerry (YT: kerryluvcat) has going on through St. Patrick’s Day, I threw caution to the wind and just started pulling out everything I had that was green, which...

I created this ATC (Artist Trading Card, a miniature work of art usually 2.5″ x 3.5″ but sometimes larger) entitled “Boxer XO” for an English friend, Theresa (YT: Theresa Carr). However, once I was done with the layering, adding the little tag,...

Ok, I’ve had on my “to try” list a collage project that I saw on the Internet over 7 months ago. I don’t recall who was the artist (there may be several who do this); however, I knew the instant I saw this that I wanted to try to make a collage...
