Arches

These have all been done on corrigated

cardboard.  Then added acrylics and found papers.

 

 

I've made prints of them and put them on my Etsy 

Have been interested in arches lately.

I'm pretty excited with some new pieces I've been working on. Have really been enjoying making these mixed media collages. I love using different types of architecture such as arches and old buildings to get my inspiration.

BALD EAGLE

The gentleman who bought this gourd, bought it for his father who loves bald eagles. The mountains in the background are Mt. Baker in Washington.

Customized Pieces

I also do custom pieces through Etsy.  You can view art on my shop through simplygourdgeous1.  I'm in the process of doing two more pieces.  One of women in South Africa, and another of Mt. Baker, Washington, incorporating American Bald Eagles. Will display these when finished.

LATEST

I did this one for someone who had been to Mt. Kilimanjaro, and asked me to replicate what he saw there. I used inlay with black beads around the mouth of the gourd.  I research all my custom gourds for patterns, traditions and customs of the region.
