If you're a subscriber then you may already have your copy, but I'm so excited to share that my "Matchbook Minis," mini matchbook-style art journals made from shipping tags, have a staring role in my latest article in the Spring 2023 issue of Somerset Studio magazine. If you aren't a subscriber, it will be available on newsstands on February 1st.

Join Me for an Artistic Retreat! |
I'm thrilled to be returning in April 2023 to teach at the 20th Anniversary of the Art & Soul retreats in Portland, Orgeon.
I'm teaching 4 workshops, including two brand new classes. You can join me for "Stitches + Glue: Mixed Media with Paper and Fabric," "Wishes & Dreams Spirit Dolls," "Watercolor for Mixed Media," or my all time most popular class, "Angels & Icons." My classes run from April 16 - 19 and registration is now open. I hope to see some of you there! |
I'm very excited to announce that I'm going to be a part of a new mixed media retreat on the East coast, right here in Northern Virginia! It's the first Creative Minds Summit from Artistic Artifacts. I'll be joining the owner and creative genius, Judy Gula, along with a few friends and incredible instructors — Liz Kettle of Textile Evolution and Libby Williamson. If you love mixed media along with textiles and maybe even some thread and stitching, you're going to love the the Creative Minds Summit. We’re still in the planning stages, but registration will be open before you know it so make sure to save the date now — this will be a creative opportunity worth traveling for! Check back here or follow Artistic Artifacts to be the first to find out about classes and signups. |
I’m so excited to be able to share my latest stamp release with PaperArtsy! I have three brand new hand-drawn, stamp sets that work beautifully on their own, mixed together, or paired with stamps from my previous releases.
The new stamps are now available for purchase from your favorite independent PaperArtsy-carrying stores and will also be available in my shop when I'm back from India in mid-November. You can read more about the stamps in this release and see all the samples in the official stamp release blog post. |
At long last, I'm able to share that I'm joining in with several of my fellow PaperArtsy designers to partner with WOW! on two sets of embossing powder Trios that I was able to design to coordinate beautifully with my stamp and stencil designs.
The Silk Road Trio features three beautiful colors inspired by... wait for it... the Silk Road! This Trio includes some semi-transparent colors and they're also beautiful for Fall. The Ancient Orient Trio was inspired primarily by my trips to Turkey and the Middle East and includes a beautiful metallic. |

In this archived video I shared two ways to make your own seals using embossing powder and rubber stamps plus a fun marbling effect and tips for incorporating seals into projects like the sample for my Wrap & Roll online class.

My latest free demo, "Stitching with Stamps," was filmed live at Artistic Artifacts and is now available for replay. In this video I shared how I use my rubber stamp designs as patterns for beaded embroidery pieces that you can use for a variety of projects.

See my free demo for Stampers Grove (now archived for replay) where I shared techniques for masking with my EGL14 frame stamps and incorporated them into a handmade card. (Also perfect for tags, scrapbooking, art journaling, and more.)
