Spring is such a fickle friend ..
warm one day,
chilly the next..
we have had such a wet winter..
which made for a heavy pollen season here in Florida..
and people who suffer such things as allergies..

have had a rough time of it this year..
I have no such problems however..
but the weather greatly affects me and I miss the sun...
strange...
how the weather so disturbs us..
I know the sun is always shinning above the clouds..
but the warmth of the sun feels so good..
light is so invigorating...
and one can see everything so clearly.
So my pages for March reflect the view from my studio window..
the white flowers on the trees gone too soon..
in the rain.
the soft yellow gold of the new leaves..
and the brown sandy earth..
the birds fighting for room in their bath..
I used a variety of techniques for my pages..
including mono printing and packing tape transfer, that I manipulated and doubled...
as well as stencils applied to the page.. in layers.
Ingredients: Acrylic paint, watercolor paint, colored pencil, pencil, antique ephemera, stencils, mono prints, collaged papers, packing tape transfer.
This will be a very busy week as we get ready to visit Cuba..
which is very exciting..
it is a cultural exchange trip..
and we will have a guided tour..
so I am working in the studio to get things all set up
for our return..
We will have another video for you on
April 5..
I will cover my art journal with my mono print fabric
and I plan to create my travel journal, using a different non sewing technique
and applying
Plaster Cloth..
You can keep up with our travels on Facebook
and Instagram..
see you then..
Ciao, Ciao!
