Redwood Forest - Early Days Card
by paperswans

Early reader!

This may be my youngest fan! We haven't met, but I received this pic from her aunt who says her niece loves having this read to her multiple times a day.  The BUTTON board-book series was done so many years ago I can't even remember, probably in the mid-1980's.

So sweet!

And now my very newest book has arrived on my doorstep!

Celebrating September

A happy poem for Storyworks magazine

Fun poster assignments

These large posters were for Heinemann Publishing

More surface treatment experiments

This is addictive. I love not knowing exactly how these will turn out except that they will be magic ~ beautifully intriguing ~ mysterious.

Experiments in color

Playing with surface treatments on my beads:

washes, drips, spatters, layers on layers of paints, inks, patinas, glazes, powders to create something new. Plus even more layers of polycrylic to give some of them a surface that's glass-like.

Totally gorgeous colors.

Paper, paper, paper

Lately I've been on a paper bead kick ~ using my stash of painted papers, and designs I have made just for bead making ~ and have made boxes full of pretty patterned beads all waiting to become  used in a piece of jewelry.

These are works in progress:

Playing around with filters ...

Taking a break from listing new things in the shops (RocksandPaperSwans.etsy.com and PaperSwansandThings.etsy.com) to play with filters. This is 'ancient canvas'. Love the moody effects. 

These are older pieces already listed. Don't they look spectacular layered over each other?
