- Posted using my iPhone and Blogpress.

paper, textiles, fiber and stuff

that's what my ART is made of

I am inspired by vintage photos and images

cast-off quits, linens and bluejeans,

I enjoy making new and repurposed projects

with paint, ink, paper, rubber stamps

repurposed fabric, embroidery,

quilted arts

As an emgering mixed-media artist

I continue to explore the conflict between

decorative and useful

new and repurposed

bonniebluedenim is Donna Cook

do justice

love kindness

walk humbly

create

the portrait image above is made from a photo taken in 1976

of Donna Cook

with a pinhole camera

it has been photo copied and adhered to the journal

and painted over with acrylic paint

it of course does not look like Donna Cook

I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift,

that gift would be curiosity."

Eleanor Roosevelt

Man can hardly even recognize the devils of his own creation.

Albert Schweitzer

We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
