It happens every time I attend an art workshop: I come home full of new techniques and eager to create.

The most recent workshops I took with
Judy Wilkenfeld are no different. (Well, maybe I'm a bit
more inspired, as she is my creative muse.)

These are just a few snippets of a project I'm working on -- techniques I learned this month from Judy. Like embossing velvet.

Like turning the things at hand (a box lid) into precious "antiques."

This project is far from finished, but I am approaching it armed with a deep well of inspiration.

And this is my find of the day. It's an old door handle, and it's
huge -- 17 inches tall! It will eventually grace the cover of an equally huge book.
*Do you think this image is up-side-down? Which side is the top of this handle?
