wish jar : illuminated collage

January 10, 2006

illuminated collage

a new lamp design (based on the plywood collages) that I did for the fabulous Moody Buddha. Here is another one. They will be available for sale in February! There are so many beautiful designs on this site, I wouldn't be able to choose.

***********************
Also on the subject of illumination...On thursday am headed off on an artist retreat with eight inspiring and creative women. You know them...

Christine, Andrea, Jen, Penelope, Katrina, Kate, Christine, Pixie

I am so excited I am bursting. It is going to be rather surreal as I have only met one of them in person, and we've all been writing for years! So many thoughts flit through my head. I hope I can sleep tomorrow night.

Keri,
I was just wondering if you could explain how you collage on plywood. I am a bit confused about how it all works and I would like to get into it. Or do you know a web site or book that may be of help?
Thanks!
