the bead buffet


THE BEAD BUFFET is a necklace that came to be because I have this not so great habit of tossing orphaned beads into a box as I am working. In lieu of sorting, I decided to use them as they were...I found beads of all colors and sizes, charms I made and a couple from a swap, a pendant with a clay face, buttons, sewing notions, pearls, handcrafted faux resin beads, and much more. It is eye candy and conversation all wrapped in one. This item is definitely one of a kind and availabe for purchase. contact: artwithmoxie@cox.net

elements and imagery


Title: ELEMENTS AND IMAGERY
Size: 22x30
Watercolor
This is one of my favorite pieces. The line drawing was exaggerated using a tool called "ink in a pencil" with emphasis on line, shape, and pattern.

encaustic to wear


This necklace will be part of an encaustic class that I will be teaching for Art Unraveled 2008 called "Those Blooming Encaustics".
