“Life is like a ten speed bicycle.  Most of us have gears we never use.”

~Charles M. Schulz

I like the above quote.  I think most of us have a few regrets about things we should have done.

I try and stay upbeat about life…one rule for me is never watch the news.  🙂

More pages from the altered book I’m working in lately.  This first one is a doodle page with lots of color and pen work done with mostly Sharpie Poster Paint Pens.

This page is acrylic paint, Caran d’Ache crayons and a some collage pieces:

This is a grid page…all acrylics with some pen work:

This one is all collage.  I used magazine pieces, plus some pieces of painted pages or doodles:

I’m back after a longer absence than I planned.  My computer has been in the shop.  Luckily, there wasn’t anything seriously wrong with it.

I hope all my dear readers find themselves engrossed in a lovely “new” year.  🙂

I have been working several pages in my “let’s boogie” altered book.  I had the book open one day and spilled purple ink over all the open pages on the right side of the book.  The purple spots will be easy to spot on some of the pages.  This first photo incorporates some of Teesha Moore’s images along with my own drawing and magazine collage…this is “The New Normal.”

My regular readers will remember that “Let’s Boogie” was originally a book of cartoons…I played with some of the cartoon images when I created this page… lots of acrylic paint and collage pieces:

This next one is mixed media.  I used paints, collage. colored pencils, and markers:

I haven’t been sketching as much lately…I need to get back into it.  Here’s a random imaginary animal that I also painted:

This last one is a girl with doodle hair:

…making the unknown, known

I’ll be back!
