Heartstrings Hanging

In my travels and stress of the past month I nearly forgot that Heartstrings had been hung in my absence by the lovely ladies of the Whatcom Art Guild ❤️
I finally got downtown to Hair Art Studio to see it hanging and it made me happy! Of course it’ll be even more happy to see it sold but I love these mixed media canvases that are inspired by the power of music and mental health and life in general for most people!

If you’re out shopping downtown Bellingham this month please stop by and see all the art of local artists, many who are members of the Whatcom Art Guild and Market!!

Like the bio for Refind Creations
Autumn is the color of my dreams
The world is drenched in rusty hues
As leaves transform from deep luscious greens
To a vibrant mosaic in shades of orange, red, yellow and brown
Catching the low slant of sunbeams
Creating a breathtaking yet nearly sublime beauty
Unsurpassed
Causing the soul to ache for the coziness of Fall, the crispness of Autumn, the changing of seasons

Petals as Paint Peaceful

My heart is happy with this work in progress from my Petals as Paint collection.
A collage of dahlias, hydrangea and elderberry — this creates a peaceful scene on a breezy day. A mist creates a foggy field beneath a periwinkle sky. A place of solace. Two trees stand in tranquility amidst a golden meadow.

Dahlia Petals as Paint

The beauty of the dahlia has captured my imagination. The color wheel is built right in – reds and yellows, purples with white, and all manner of pinks and orange that create a beautiful palette for Painting with Petals.
I discovered a new adhesive. You all know I suffer from adhesions – sometimes getting glued to my own self. This is acrylic medium glossy and I loved it. Some change in the petals occurred after this photo but much less than using a water based adhesive.
It’s going into a frame and will be available at Whatcom Art Market tomorrow morning. An explosion of Fireworks Dahlia

Refind Evolution

It all started in a garden
Then a lady came along and picked a dazzling fireworks Dahlia
She scanned it and photographed it multiple times. She filtered and posted and delighted the world
She dried it for weeks until it became kind of sad looking but she saw great potential
She unwrapped a canvas covered in burlap. She applied layers of aerosol adhesive and began plucking the sad looking petals and placing them in a design onto the canvas until a pattern developed. She said it was her favorite so far – but she says that every time. She said it looks like a dream catcher. He said it looks like fireworks. And the other he said it looks like an explosion.
She will let it sit and ponder what it will become — sleep on it dreaming of delightful ideas and share them with the world.

Sunflowers for Sale

Thank you to all the people who’ve put a little sunflower in their lives!
The most recent went to my very nice friend Nancy, who stopped by the Whatcom Art Market and rescued one for her beautiful garden… or maybe for inside her home as a reminder of her garden as the days shorten and the seasons change!
I love their whimsical styling. These are a Refind of fishing cork, pine cone scales, acorns, upholstery tacks, antique lighting pieces and stems made of iron pipes.
