ARS POETICA ~ Bremerton WA

ARS Poetica 2013

Where art meets poetry

Collective Visions Gallery
331 Pacific Ave Bremerton, WA

April is National Poetry Month

Collective Vision Art Gallery gathered poets and artists. 

Artists created an piece inspire by a poet!

My assemblage was inspired by a poem written by Maria from Old Town Custom Framing and Gallery, 

located downtown Bremerton, WA. 

She wrote about a tree that fell in a storm and how that tree held so many memories of her children growing up. 

 Front of the box.

Representing the tree, 

the outside is covered with leaf pattern paper.

   Inside childhood memories

During the month of April you can see the poem and my assemblage on display at Claywerks Downtown Bremerton 308 Pacific Street.

The end of April  

There will be a special presentation 

by poets and artists.

Card made with an image from Altered Pages!

You will find these festive fastinators for sale at

Claywerks Too!

408 Pacific Ave Bremerton, WA 

Saturday March 16th 

Just in time for St. Patrick's Day!

Had made with Creative Paperclay® it is hard to believe these were once a clump of clay.  Cut into three pieces and air dried and sanded to smooth the surface. Then the top and brim are attached with slip.  Air dried again before painting. 

The fascinators were painted with Sakura 3D Crystal Lacquer & Terri Sproul Mixers. Then embellished with hat band, feathers and beads. 

Here is one of the Fascinators next to a 4 1/2 x 5 1/4 card. They aren't very big, each is attached to a head band. 

Enjoy a safe HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY!
