Meet Millie, the hostess with the mostest. She knows that Schlitz is the beer that made Milwaukee famous, but her cheese puffs are the hors d’oeuvres that made her cul-de-sac notorious!

Imperfect Garden 🔴
Mixed media collage on 10″ x 10″ deep wood panel.
This colorful little piece was an experiment and I love how it turned out! The background strips are deli paper sheets that I used to clean paint off of my brayer while monoprinting. Cut and pasted down with gel medium, they form the background for my little flower. The flower is heavy watercolor paper, covered with the painted deli papers, cut into a freehand flower, and outlined with paint marker. When I went to glue down the flower, I noticed that it wanted to curl outward. Instead of gluing it flat, I decided to just attach the flower’s center, and let the petals stick out a bit, making this piece a bit 3-dimensional!

Mission Fiesta 🔴
Mixed media collage on craft interfacing. 8″x8″ matted and framed to 12″x12″.
This little piece was a lot of fun to create! The craft interfacing is a new-to-me substrate, and I was excited to give it a try. The background is a series of colorful gelli-plate printed papers that I created and tore into pieces. The Alamo image was printed on deli paper, and attached to the background before I pulled out the sewing machine and added some zig-zag stitching to outline the building. I finished it off with some fiesta-colored Posca pens, and I think I really achieved the “Fiesta” vibe that permeates San Antonio, a city that I really love.

Freeze Frame
Abstract mixed media collage on heavy watercolor paper. 8″x8″ matted and framed to 12″x12″.
This little piece is a combination of colored mulberry papers, torn into strips, along with a black and white magazine image that I cut into tiny pieces and reassembled. To top off the piece, I added texture paste on the black and white images, and used Posca pens to add dots and scribbles. I chose the name “Freeze Frame” because the broken image reminds me of photo booths or negatives.
