Over the summer I created a series of small canvases as part of a fundraiser for our local art association.

I had so much fun with those that when I got my new stencils from Stencil Girl Products I made another 8×10 piece.

That started a series of 8×10 collages in September of 2020. My lofty goal was to create a collage a day. My realistic goal was to make art almost every day. And I did. Most of these have since been gifted, bartered or sold. Send me a message if you’re interested in one. The butterfly one is sold.

coverI have been very busy so far this year. I completed the Brooklyn Art Library’s Sketchbook Project. It will be available digitally at their website and will be traveling around the country during the next year. The first event will be the Bookmobile at The Other Art Fair at the Brooklyn Expo Center in the beginning of May. I made a flip through video that I posted on Instagram, but I have not been able to get the video onto my blog. Look for me on Instagram @jeanette.clawson. Here are some photos of the process of completing my sketchbook.

I will soon be living in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, near the shore of Lake Michigan. I hope to be exhibiting and teaching again in the near future.  I hope you have some beauty and peace in your day.

Year in Review

It has been quite a year. I have not made as much art as I would have liked and I have had a lot of problems with my blog, but looking at my year in review I feel excited about what I have learned. I also feel a whole lot better after 207 medical appointments/procedures in 2018, including 5 hours in surgery. I hope next year is more productive and healthier, but here are my journal pages from 2018.

These are the pages I have already blogged about. And here is the rest of the year.

Thank you for stopping by. May your new year be full of peace and beauty.

I was asked to donate a piece of art to the Morris County Art Association for a fundraiser so I made this little cutie. It measure 4″ x 4″ and comes with a tiny easel for display. Here are the pieces:

Here is the completed piece:

Zendala cover

I’m going to be teaching at the Morris County Art Association Studio again this year. We were asked to bring 2-3 pieces to hang in the studio so people from other classes can see our work. I have not done an altered book to hang on the wall since I moved to New Jersey! I found the book in an antique shop and when I saw it I knew it was perfect to showcase my Zendalas. I collaged over the text pages and used the illustrations as a background for my Zendalas.

This week the Diva Challenged us to recycle something for our substrate. She used a pizza box and treated it like a tan colored tile and inspired me to use a cereal box for mine. She also recommended we use a “Sunshine” string. So here is mine.

Surgery went well and I’m slowly but surely recovering. Hopefully I will be able to complete some more art projects in the coming days.

I hope you have a beautiful day.

thanksgiving cards

I have been very fortunate this year to have friends to drive me to my many doctors’ appointments and invite me to join in fun activities as I am able. So I decided to send out Thanksgiving Cards as my holiday cards this year. I have been making lots of Zentangle Tiles and people ask me what I do with them and now you can see. They make a lovely accent on a simply painted watercolor card.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you have a beautiful day.
