A set of my Bead Journal Project pieces were selected as the Bronze Prize winners in the Freeform/Home Decor category! I found out about it late in January and had to send them in for photographs. They haven’t made their way onto the FMG website yet, but they have made their way back home! The […]
February’s Snow Moon
I used a number of different patterns for dimensional snowflakes on this addition to my Beaded Journal pages. Some of them look kind of fuzzy in the photo, because they stick straight up and I can’t control the aperture on my camera for depth of field adjustments. Next camera, that’s for sure!

Karen, how do you describe your work?

What is your creative process like?
I usually am inspired by something very complicated, something that challenges me. I do a lot of sketches and watercolors as studies for pieces. I collect material, dead […]

January’s Wolf Moon
This one was a real design challenge for me. I wanted to do something realistic and not cartoonish, but I didn’t want to end up doing a silhouette against the full moon. Even though that would have fit my theme, it’s just done too much. Then I started thinking about […]
