Painting with different materials is very rewarding. I used watercolors, watercolor inks, acrylics inks, gouaches, watercolor pencils, oil pastels, chalk pastels, markers , acrylics on different type of papers as well. This is my second most liked activity!
2025-2026
Working with fiber, especially wool is a delicious feeling. It is like painting. These are some of my pieces from the last year and the beginning of this.
2025-2026
Making collages with different materials, as paper clippings, magazine paper, gelli prints, watercolors and using the imagination is really fun.
Playing with colors…Watercolors, watercolor inks, acrylic inks, gouache, neocolors, markers, watercolor pens… collages… on watercolor papers. Having fun!

Of course another seashore! They are popular and I love to make them. I spend my first 13 years going to the beach every weekend! Good memories!

My second cat this year! The first one was sold at the Show and Sell of the Handweavers of Bucks County, so I was commissioned to make another one but looking at the garden. It is fun to have the tail outside the frame of the window.
We have our Annual Show and Sale at the Handweavers of Bucks County on 22-24 of November, 2024
The second picture is part of my pieces that I am bringing to the Sell. Hope to see you there!

I never painted a Nativity in gouaches, just a needle felted one. It was interesting because the gouache is a very mate paint, but mixing it with the color pigments it shines! I used gold paint as well. It was a good experience.

It was the idea to hook a fish, but then it decided to be on the side with waves around, because he was fished! I put a hook in his mouth with some beads,just for the fun of it!

It is almost Christmas, and I always make some small Tomtar (Santas in Swedish) for the occasion. It is fun to play with the beards, and specially with the eyes! Hope that you like them. I made them for the Show and Sell of the Hand weavers of Bucks County this year.
