Mix Media Art

Most of my mix media art pieces include recycled paper, stitching, fabric and water color.  These pieces were inspired by a brooch of a colorful house a friend was wearing.  Each piece finishes at 5" X 7".   Below are "a few photos":

I call these pieces "around the way".  The metal objects in the pieces are sewing notions.  I hope they inspire you to create art for your space using recycled, materials.

Love! Love! Love! Kenye West!

You already know I'm a fan of Kenye West's creative genius.  For fall 2015, he teamed up with Adidas and designed his much anticipated shoe line "Yeezi".  Below are "a few photos":

Decorating Tiny/Small Balconies

I love the idea of creating exceptional tiny/small outdoor spaces.  A plant, seating (bench or chair), small outdoor rug and a candle = retreat.  Use your small space anyway that makes you happy whether it's a potted garden, outdoor grilling, or a mini gym.  If needed, you can had privacy to your balcony with hanging shades, tall plants, or by weaving canvas like materials through metal railings.  The view your balcony from the inside of your home should put a smile on your face.

Below are "a few photos" of tiny/small balconies on my Pinterest account:

Young Man's Prom Party Desert Table

Joi at "Joi'ous Affairs Party Rentals and More" created this blue and white desert table for a high school prom party sendoff.  

Two different size boxes covered with blue and white stripe wrapping paper were used to create the tiered cupcake holder.  Handmade bubblegum necklaces, a few blue and white suckers and a couple trays of bite size cheese cake was just enough for his small group of family and friend well wishers to enjoy.

Below "are a few photos":

I hope these photos are inspirational for you when creating a small desert table for your next event.

2015 Los Angeles Natural Hair & Lifestyle Expo

This is my third year working with the "Natural Hair and Lifestyle Expo".  I'm heading up the design/art volunteers and together we are creating the branding, stage decorating, murals and signage for the event. 

I'm also creating a "Nappywood Pop Up Shop" that will retail tee shirts I designed for the event, in addition to, my fashions, artwork, quilts, pillows and throws.   

The show is energy charged, educational and inspirational! 

Don't Miss it!!!

Decorating a Small Bathroom

I enjoyed helping my Mom decorate her small bathroom.

Inspiration bathroom

After 40 years in the same home, my Mother's bathroom was not going to change it's size.  Unfortunately, I don't have any before pictures.  But, I started by decluttering the bathroom.  It had way too much stuff for such a small space.  

What I love about the inspiration room is the shelving on the walls.  It brings your eyes up creating the illusion of more space.   My Mom found her picture at Big Lots for $8.00 and the curtain rod for $3.00.   I showed her how to make the curtains (from a earlier post) the fabric and ribbon cost about $7.00,  she purchased the shelves from Target Home for $19.00.  It didn't cost much to give her bathroom a fresh and updated look.  Below are "a few photos":

Redecorating/rearranging your home brings new energy to your space and creates inner and outer harmony.
