Cup and Saucer Bird

5.5x8.5 watercolor on paper done last week while in the mountains over a 2 day quick visit.  This bird, a jay, is eating from a china cup and saucer birdfeeder someone made and I thought was very sweet.

Cuppa Joe

5.5x8.5 mixed media on paper, today's work, patterned after a torn paper collage of the same imaginary cup and saucer.  I used Lamy Safari pen with Noodler's grey ink to draw, watercolor, and colored pencils.  Stamping done n left side to add the word 'java'.

Coffee or Tea - torn paper collage

12x12 collage on wrapped canvas using torn paper collaged on with matte medium, started over the weekend and finished yesterday.  Using a line drawing I tore, not cut, scraps of slick magazine piece colors and put into place with the medium.  Avoiding using any straight edges such as page sides, patterned paper was put over the wrapped edges.  I will varnish several times using gloss medium to give this cute mug a special shine.
