2019/2020 Thoughts about art and traveling

Living in our motor-home and traveling has changed my artistic focus. With limited space and idle time, smaller painting and sewing projects keep me occupied. Visiting art galleries and a variety of art venues along the way have given me a new appreciation of both local art and history. While on the road these are the projects that keep me creating.



These fish are custom cabinet nobs 
made from Sculpey clay. 





The soap dispenser is a Softsoap bottle primed and painted to match the mermaid which hangs above one or our bathroom sinks.  
The mermaid is made with paper twill from Japan, the other fish is made of metal  by an unknown artist.





The kitchen soap dispenser was primed and painted along with the 3 drawer dresser, the makeup bag was a sewing project.






A queen bed size quilt, another sewing project completed.





This painted soap dispenser is for the other bathroom sink.  A Sculpey soap dish custom fitted for the sink rim.  The desert landscape was created by an artist from Tubac Arizona.  






This Sculpey fish is for another cabinet. The fabric piece is a table runner.
