Don't Be a Picklebump

Last month, I got brave and entered my first art show. My friend Ramona at Texas Art Asylum enocuraged me to give it a go.

I started playing with mixed media late last fall. Since then I’ve put together quite the stash of different materials and have been experimenting. I’ve got paper, paint, and glass bead medium on this piece. This weekend I think I’m going to try playing with string gel. It looks interesting and I’m feeling the need to create.

I’m also participating in an online class called Unravelling. I’m nervous about this, but excited too. One of the things that I figured out in the first couple days is that I’m essentially invisible. While I write a lot, I’m rarely in pictures. That needs to change.
