Mixed Media Piece: Directions

I'm currently in the middle of a mixed media piece that I've been referring to as "Directions". I was soooo happy to have found these little guys:



My canvas is primed and painted, and my Detroit map is ready to go! I've been sketching out how I'm going to use the delicate map; I want to get it perfect before I take the plunge and cut into it.

Motivation and drive have been lacking a little, unfortunately. This dark, dreary weather really drains my creativity. Spring has just started to show Minnesota a little leg, but in a few days I'll be back in lovely Detroit for a 2 month stint.

Okay, for all you kitty lovers out there, I thought I'd share 23 seconds of cat humor with you--Enjoy:



Etsy shop soon to open

I've been hard at work on some new mixed media pieces--I can't wait until they're finished! I've had maps and moving on my mind lately what with the 3 moves I'll be doing in these next few months, so you'll find that theme running through many of my recent pieces. Speaking of maps, I'm waiting for a few awesome atlas pages from mirabellamorello to use for a project I'm currently working on. I love how you can always find EXACTLY what you're looking for on Etsy! With that being said, my new Etsy shop, Wild Violets Art, will have a Grand Opening in the next few weeks. Stay tuned!
