The birds have returned to our trees this week, so here's an "ode" to one of the great bird men: John James Audubon (1785-1851) was an American artist, well known for his beautiful drawings and paintings of birds, mammals, plants, and other subjects from nature. Shown here are some of his original works from a 1937 book, and cards crafted from those pages which were damaged, perfect for birthdays, Mother's and Father's Day. Celebrate the coming of Spring!
After all the bold reds of Christmas and Valentine's Day, I'm ready for soft, neutral color, or lack thereof! Here's some new stuff from the shop along those lines.
I'm a mom of 3 teens, wife of one husband, former teacher, retreat speaker, and youth leader, present collage artist having fun with vintage papers, antiques, mixed media, and sophisticated sarcasm!
Check out my shop sometime-
