Windows on the Water...Gallery and Gifts.

If you are in Gibsons. BC this summer check out the new gallery at the SunnyCrest mall. It,s called Windows on the Water. Its a beautiful space run by three awesome ladies. Debra,Christina and Lee. Inside you will find beautiful artisan jewelry,pottery,soaps,teas and musical instruments and of course some pretty fantastic art! Lots of other things too, so come down and take a peek. Oh did I mention my art is in there too! {shameless self promotion!}

Don't walk into the bathroom with the light off!

Ok... so I got addicted to gel transfers recently to use in my Mixed Media art.I print out the image on plain paper then cover it with Tar gel { a super goopy sticky gel that dries clear and flexible}.Leave it to dry for twenty four hours laid flat Wet the white paper backing with a spray bottle until the paper is soaked. Then rub off the paper gently with your finger until you have removed it all. Now you have a Gelskin. Rinse the skin in cool water and hang to dry then lay flat between plastic until you want to use it. I hung mine over the shower and freaked out my family.....so put the light on in the bathroom!

Missing.......
