Tiny Treasure Paradise

Please peruse my postcards from a weekend fundraiser chock full of teeny tiny treasures.  Hundreds, literally, of tiny matchbook artworks. Several came home with me to join my growing collection of matchbox love.

This one from Mexico...seaside chicken love 

and my Monarch matchbox that I decided needed to stay here in the Mango Studio.

My contribution found a good home...the women that bought it adores butterflies is going to name her first born Mariposa and this piece will be in the nursery...wow

Patti's wonderful tiny bird nest shrine is one I hovered over the bidding table for...

as well as Sue Wallingford's marvelous teeny coptic stitched books and accompanying needle felted treasures...so fitting as Mr R and I are both monkeys

an evening full of fun and purpose!

More Postcards from other Paradises...

Petals and Pedals

Gathered bike parts from friends and neighbors...thank you so!

Our Lady of the Pedals

My submission to this years Bike Art show for Bike Month this June

Fitting for the spring day it feels like today, but 8" - 12" of snow tomorrow...they say

Re-Visiting the Parajo Bird House

long ago...I used to stitch together stamps and beads, feathers and wire

and little tin things I bought...

telephone wire that I wrapped

and made these little 'jewelry boxes'....to hold tiny creations

the Parajo Bird House came back to me for some minor repairs.  She is holding up quite well given her age and I was happy to have her with me for a short time.

Everything old is new again...no fooling

More Matchbox Monarchs

the other little matchbox artwork...I decided I did not want to part with it

but did want to make something for the Small Resources/Big Possibilities event...so I grabbed another matchbox, still in the clutch of the Monarch

and pictured tiny Monarchs bursting forth

the little matchbox unable to contain them...

so please do, if you can, join us at the Gala event.  Friday, April 12th at the Boulder Contemporary Art Museum.  Tickets available at Brown Paper Tickets Much more info HERE

JOY in a little package

my thoughts still swarm around the Monarch...

the tightly knit group of roosting creatures

the myths and lore and legend

encompass me...

I created this tiny shrine, the Methuselah Shrine, for this years Small Resources/Big Possibilities fund raiser at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art.

the rabble takes flight

guarding the goddess within

a new season born
