Joni’s Things
My name is Joni Owens. I was surprised, and excited when Cyndi invited me to share some of my collage pieces with her readers. I love working with all sorts of odds and ends. I have had no formal training (the only art classes I remember were way, way back in I […]

Make Art Monday!
We’ve been doing some forum challenges just for fun at WetCanvas, in the Mixed Media forum. This piece illustrates the challenge we did for September: using packing tape (or contact paper) transfers in a collage. We keep it pretty simple, but still try to make it fun for as many people as possible.

I finished the mixed media beaded quilt that began as a class that I took with Nancy Eha back in August. The beaded medallion is so distinctive that it took me awhile to figure out how to finish the piece off. You can learn how to make this great medallion from Nancy’s book Bead Creative […]
