fifi’s grafitti

Finally got my scanner connected again although the office is still a mess. Most of my paint lately goes on the walls of the house, but I do have time every now and then to throw some at a piece of paper.

While wandering the virtual shelves at amazon.com, I found this book, Soul Collage: An Intuitive Collage Process for Individuals and Groups>. I read the blurb about it and decided to do my own analysis of my collage. I usually think my collages have to have some ironic or symbolic meaning, but now I’m just putting […]

I’ve been practicing drawing a bit. These characters are about the best I can do when trying to draw human heads. I’ve been copying some faces from the daily comic strips hoping to come up with something with more dimension. It’s been nice to finally find my art pens and some of my journals to […]

I haven’t done collage for awhile, but I was inspired by the wordplay associated with this week’s theme over at Scrapiteria. Thanks for the inspiration (and a good time), Renzntzman!
Sorry for the less than sharp quality. My office is still in chaos & the scanner’s not set up yet, so I had to shoot this […]

I was inspired by an empty tomato can. Needless to say, not much of the can’s label survived the creative process.

“It’s going to be beyond fashion.” (quote from fashion mag.) Hmmmmm. If we think about just what that might really mean perhaps we don’t need the fashion mags or anyone else telling us what to wear.
I experimented with some magazine clippings after looking at some of the faces Teesha Moore has made. Mine didn’t turn […]

What I came up with for this week’s prompt on Inspire Me Thursday, which was “Light.”
Dreams and Vision are two recurring themes in my art so it wasn’t a stretch to realize “light” is a part of that. This is the first full-page spread in my new homemade journal, made of watercolor paper bound with […]

I finally got the 3D items glued to my pages for the “Around the World Chunky Swap” on Flickr. This was a really fun project but I got stuck at the end. It was as if I didn’t want the fun to end. I put the pages aside, and before I knew it two weeks […]

It’s good to have visitors but it’s also good to get back to your regular schedule. I’m not good about keeping up a journal when my schedule’s all screwy. I’ve managed to do it a few times while vacationing, but when I read it later it seems to be a pretty sparse piece of writing.
Anyway […]

This week’s prompt on Inspire Me Thursday was “Circles”. This assemblage, made of recycled parts, is my submission.
I had a few square wooden rosettes we removed from some of the doorframes as we’re remodeling (someone tried to give the illusion of an update) and thought to do something with the circles on the block. […]
