Crash trash smash-up (for match-day sports cup —a.k.a. Super Bowl LX)

And how did YOU spend the big game day?

I, myself, went mixed-media to the max!

Better here than in the oceans, amirite?

Materials include broken red, orange, and clear shards of plastic car head/tail lights from various area accidents, various plastic bags, see-through sparkle plastic sheet removed from the surface of a 3-ring binder, sequins, glitter, orange plastic straws sliced vertically, satin ribbon, paper (minimal), red plastic drawstrings from garbage bags, red plastic webbing used in produce sack, moss green shower loofa netting, kitchen sponge, turquoise ice melt rock salt, acrylic & spray paint, hot glue (colored and clear), Mod Podge sealant on two conjoined black canvas boards measuring 28 inches tall x 11 inches wide

"Briar Ring (Around the Rosie)”

-  Composed on and in honor 

 of David Lynch’s birthday  -

Textured hand-cut analog collage-painting of floral imagery & various ladybugs amidst abstract branches with shimmery black glitter dust over a 10 in. square mounted canvas, spray-painted gunmetal grey on sides, Mod Podge as sealant

 

 

Seasonal Impressions

Fascinating barbed-wire / honeycomb tread tire-tracks surfaced today amidst the drifting scars of our salted Maine winter roadways.  I doubt I'd create something so perfectly laid down in my own efforts at abstract art!

“Arden, Guardian of the Garden”

9 in. x 12 in. analog collage of classical art Frankensteined-together from several magazines & books with acrylic paint accents over a spray-painted mounted canvas of "tarnished" gold and Mod Podge sealant throughout

Because 2026 demands an angel protector 

 

Cat Memorial Christmas Project no. 2

Second Freya memorial token following the bespoke porcelain dish (see previous post), but rather for the holiday tree by way of ornament.  From a doctored photo initially on plain eggshell background that an Etsy seller took a stab at, which I then tricked-out further with pastel spray paints and a darker shade of “tarnish” to the gold frame to make it somewhat less garish.  Added my own double-sided powder pink satin ribbon for hanging and an inscription on the back in white ink.

Cat Memorial Christmas Project no. 1

Custom dish of Freya (d. December 11, 2025), ordered through an Etsy operation for my parents in a cream and cranberry design to match a porcelain family china set — and my mother Julie's cardigan, fortuitously!  Blue & white toile wrapping (with washi tape "ribbon") was similarly cat-themed, from Etsy.
