On Saturday as I was cleaning and sorting in the art room I kept coming across little bits and pieces that were in the wrong containers, did I put them in the right containers? No. I started to play. I thoroughly enjoyed losing myself in the little pieces.I have a few pieces of jewellery on my Etsy, with the excess of embellishments I have begun to list. But, I think the focus on paper has come from jewellery commissions I have to complete this week. Does that make sense? I read Misty’s latest post and thought, oh yes, that is me – best under pressure and last minute … now if only I could create art which ‘talks’ like hers.
By the way, I don’t normally use family pictures in my work, but the three little boys in the top ATC’s are my Dad and two of his brothers! Weren’t they cute?

Hi Julie, I love the work you have been creating...these latest pieces are just wonderful!!!
How scary it must have been with Archer. I am glad to hear he is feeling better. I had never heard that macadamias are toxic for dogs...thank you so much for sharing that. I will spread the word. xo
Your work always speaks to me. I love the way that you bring together the different elements and age them and choose just the right words to go along with them. I'll have to check out your etsy listings.

Hi Julie,
I often visit your blog, but have been remiss in leaving comments. Haven't seen you in ages. Not long 'til holidays!
I think your work is fantastically amazing! Very inspirational.
Hi Julie,
It's interesting how we see other people's art and feel that ours should "speak" more like theirs... or something like that. But yours DOES do that to me... to everyone here who has left a comment... you art always touches us. Your art is very emotional and beautiful and special, just like you. Love these... and happy to see family members. I enjoy using old family photos in some of my pieces from time to time too.
Keep up the beautiful work.
Holly

These are really beautiful - what rich color - Love them :)
Your ATCs are "seriously" awesome Julie!! So rich and detailed, I agree with Dot - they look so tactile. Thanks for the link to Sherry's blog - what a pleasure that has been for me as an after-work blog read before the cook dinner routine! PS Absolutely love the spider post too, especially the "note to self"!!
