I can't believe the weather here in Wisconsin this week. The temperatures have gone from 17 degrees 10 days ago, to a balmy 65 degrees today. I've swept the front porch, opened the windows and have been basking in the warm sunlight drinking my morning coffee. As I still here, dog at my feet, listening to the birds, the wind and the occasional passerby. I am thinking about what it means to be here. As in here in Wisconsin. Little by little the boxes have been unpacked. Our home in Vermont rented, our new lives in the Midwest starting to take root. Getting back into the studio after the whirlwind of graduating from VCFA and moving has been challenging, to say the least. There are still plenty of boxes that need to be unpacked. Lots of materials that need to be purged. Things that need to find their right space. My new studio is up on the 3rd floor of this old 4-square we've made home. I'm not crazy about the old paneling, but the finished attic looks out on the neighborhood and offers a quiet place to be by myself and work on my art. Opening boxes and shifting through all "the Stuff" has definitely been inspiring. I've finished a few new pieces and mended a few that were damaged in the move. There's new work on the table. My old style mixed with a new sensibility informed by 2 1/2 years of grad school. This is something I just cannot escape-the resonance of crits and reviews by my peers and faculty. The endless defense of the work you make and the "why's" associate with it. It took a long time for me to open a jar of gel medium and start working on assemblage again. Finally, I feel like I am getting my mojo back. It's not as if it really left me. More like it was taking a long nap. Winter finally breaking into Spring, has opened a mental door for me. I am excited about the months to come. So, readers, if you will allow me, I am back to provide you further musings on Art, Life and Making. I hope you have been well. It feels like it has been an eternity. I know it sounds cliche, but a new chapter has started. 2015 is going to be a fantastic year!
This assemblage wall piece is infused with earthy, organic materials to add warmth to your cozy home. It consists of rust and wood elements, an antique book cover and vintage papers. Surround yourself with a unique esthetic that reflects your personality and taste. Not the cookie cutter art from big box stores. This fits into any contemporary styles. It is mounted on a cradled wood box for immediate hanging.
23 years. That's a long time. We, my husband Jim and I moved to Vermont in 1991. We left the hustle and bustle of New York for a life that was less hectic and a space that was less congested. Now it seems we are going forward into a adventure and moving to Madison, Wisconsin. I was recently offered a really wonderful job with a highly respected and outstanding apparel manufacture who is based out of Dodgeville, WI. Dodgeville is about 45 minutes west of Madison. It's a rural farming community with about 2,000 residents if you don't count the employees of Lands' End who make the commute into town on a daily basis. We will end up living somewhere in between. The moving trucks come in August and although that feels like it is at the very end of our (albeit short) summer I know it will be here quicker than I can imagine. So now everyday involves so cleaning, organizing and de-stashing. We are having a huge yard sale this weekend. And I have decided to open up my studio and have a special moving sale. I'll be selling many of my earlier works at a discount to move them out so I don't have to pack them. There will be collage, assemblages and prints. I will also be getting rid of a ton of rusty things, ephemera, old picture frames, what ever you need to make your own assemblages. I am not sure how big my studio will be in our new place, so I need to par down as much as possible. Jack and I concurred the garage yesterday and one of the the garden sheds the week before. Making my lists and sticking to it as close as I can. If you are in the Burlington area, don't be a stranger, come on by and say hi! (or good-bye, I suppose, as it shall be.) There will be lots of bargains and goodies out there on the lawn.... 877 Old Creamery Rd Williston, VT 05495 Friday, May 23rd: 9am to 3 pm Saturday May 24th: 9 am to 4 pm Feels good to let go of all these things. And give them to homes that will love them as much as I have. Be well friends. I'll post more later this week. There's so much going on for me right now and I do want to share it with you.

I was in a mojo funk yesterday and didn't actually make anything to share today (probably due to the BEAUTIFUL summer weather going on outside and the fact that I was not out in it) so I decided to do a post on, "Things I am Loving Right Now" after which I will be going outside to enjoy the sunshine! This print these chairs looking for new kitchen chairs at present...love the juxtaposition between the farm table (which I have) and the modern chairs. A new chandelier may be in order too! this series I purchased the 8 part series on iTunes ($13.99) for my recent trip to Chicago. Did not want to stop watching. Classic story by Dickens and as always, beautiful costumes, rich characters and cinematography by the Brits for Masterpiece Theater on PBS. So worth the money. ,,,,, If you want to purchase on iTunes as I did, just type the words Bleak House in search. this class by my friend Mou this recipe this book I bought The Greater Journey on the recommendation of my friend Sally, from Delaware. The book by David McCullough focus on Americans that lived in Paris between 1830 and 1900. So interesting how the author weaves medicine, art and science into the timeline of history. Let me just say that I have used Google on numerous occasions to look up pictures of the paintings described in the book (love when I have actually seen one in person), additional information on the Franco-Prussia war as well as the ever valiant American ambassador Elihu Washburne (someone should make a statue of him). these shoes just bought them. on sale. fabulous with navy dress. enough said. this art card 8 x 10 art card with envelope for mailing this inspiration check out Philippa's beautiful wallpaper here this advice Now get out an enjoy the sunshine... (except for Deb who lives on the sun). Now that I think about it, I will be flying to Arizona next week and therefore I will be on the sun with her! I better start drinking water now! (personally, I think I might feel better about having to be in Arizona in August if we have bruschetta for lunch at Postino's... no one does it better!). cheers for a great week everyone! paula

Lebendigkeit! Lila und Orange machen eine Show, wissen aber, wie sie für das zentrale dreidimensionale Design in den Hintergrund treten können. Alle meine Kunstwerke enthalten Upcycling-Artikel und hier finden Sie diese zusammen mit Dutzenden von Vintage-Fundstücken. Mit den Maßen 18" x 14" ist es etwas größer als meine üblichen Angebote. Die Textur spielt eine wichtige Rolle bei einem Hintergrund, der aus mehreren Schichten und Spritzern von Farbe und Wachs über mehrere Schablonendesigns unter Verwendung von Dimensionspaste besteht. In den Hintergrund sind Tyvek-Stücke eingewebt (von Ihnen wirklich in Kunstwerke verwandelt), die diesen komplizierten Hintergrund noch verstärken. Auf einer in Galerien verpackten Leinwand beträgt die Tiefe dieses Stücks 2,5 Zoll. Schauen Sie genau hin und Sie werden etwa 100 Verzierungen entdecken – sowohl alte als auch neue. Zu den Vintage-Artikeln gehören Fragmente eines Wandbehangs aus Harz, ein Spielzeugteller, verschiedene Metallgürtelteile, verschiedene Perlen, ein Halbmondanhänger, ein Knopf, eine Metallblume, Segmente eines roten Perlenkragens, eine große Strassbrosche, Metalldekor, ein gewebter Knopf, eine Halskette und Fragmente des Zifferblatts , mechanische Elemente und ein Stück eines dekorativen Harzbehälters. Zu den neueren Elementen gehören Knöpfe, Metallblätter, ein geflügeltes Herz, ein Perlenbogen, Perlen, ein Pfeil und ein runder Brennpunkt. Ein Drahtbügel ist angebracht. Da die Galerie mit Leinwand umwickelt ist und die Seiten fertig sind, ist keine Rahmung erforderlich. Abmessungen: 18,0" x 14,0" x 2,50" Gewicht: 3 Pfund. 6 Unzen Wenn Sie in der Nähe von Tulsa wohnen, können Sie dieses Stück in der Sky Gallery im Meadow Gold District finden. Alle bei Art Creations by Vicky verkauften Assemblage-Kunstwerke sind Originalwerke der Künstlerin Vicky Hensley und einzigartig. Weitere Informationen zu meinen Kreationen und dem Prozess finden Sie auf meiner Website - http://artcreationsbyvicky.com.

For this second mixed media assemblage canvas I decided to go with warmer colours. I really had autumn in mind whilst creating this. I picked up some long canvases at the works recently and I wanted to use them. They really do a great job of drawing someones eye from top to bottom. Especially if you add some leading lines. Here it is all finished. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I have already been tinkering with my next one. Again, any questions just ask! Always, Kass
