Inspirations

As I continue my journey of creating art to exorcise the creative ghosts inside me, I am constantly looking for art and artists that inspire me through new techniques, styles, and mediums that push the boundaries of my imagination. This quest has led me to a diverse array of artistic expressions, where each encounter opens a new door to possibilities I had not previously considered. I’ve decided…

Art Challenge: Y2K

2024 Art Challenge

I don’t normally new years resolutions but I am trying to challenge and push myself more to be creative. For 2024 I gave myself a self imposed challenge to create one piece of artwork a month for the whole year. The only rules I gave myself is to produce and get it done without any restrictions about content, quality, style, material, subject matter, or worries about the product being…

Victorito Chairs Before & After

Victorian side chairs show a little leg after being reupholstered in Mexican blankets

I found two of these worn antique victorian chairs at the world famous Rosebowl Flea Market last year and finally got around to refinishing them over the last few weekends. Stripped down to the frame then painted in a light gray chalk paint, these chairs were reupholstered in striped gray and white Mexican blankets. As a special twist, I used frayed blanket to trim the front legs. I think they’re…

Decorative Plate & caftan MIM

See how to make decorative plates in my first How To Video!

When you have funny and creative friends who watch even more Bravo than you do, occasionally you get invited to Caftan and Rosè parties (for the record this has only happened once to me). When you’re me, and you get excited by making your own costumes (not that this was a costume party), the only thing to suitable has to be sewn yourself; only to get wrangled into making outfits for your friend…

Mad for Plaid at Target Stores

There are three patterns that I can never get enough of. In order, they are a houndstooth, a herringbone, and a plaid. Target has taken that last one to the extreme and released enough items in plaid to make Cher Horowitz proud. From the home decor section to the grocery aisles, everything is covered in orderly and intersecting stripes of color. I’ve taken the liberty of highlighting the best of…
