Collage Mania



I work several collages at a time so does Segundo, the second work was declared finished without any additional material...
... no amount of suggested materials will convince this one once he has decided a project is done!

Panoramic Sugar Eggs

A Fun holiday Craft for the whole family
Traditional Panoramic Sugar Eggs and some not so Traditional interpretations. We just couldn't resist making a skull, the family has Halloween on the Brain! Sugar, Meringue powder, and water are all it takes, frost with royal icing. Use plastic eggs from art and craft store as molds.

Coptic Interpretation



My dear Friend Champe Smith did a piece using this form when we were in Grad school together, I finally sat down and made a model for myself. Nothing like a little bookbinding to get your mind off doing your taxes! Coptic Sewn Book

Faux Book Box

I love this form just a little box to hide a treasure, used in Medieval times to hide items considered heretical. Tarot Cards, Biblical translations in everyday spoken languages, etc. This one is made with Japanese marble paper and holds a standard deck of cards.
