The collage art of Nicole Natri

Nicole’s art is extremely affecting, evocative, and provocative. Nothing whimsical or cute here…just artwork that will make you think and feel, deeply. I recommend visiting her blog, but only if you don’t mind collage artwork without butterfly wings and happy little dunce hats!

Phoenix finished!

Dani has finished her maple log sculpture! I’m so pleased for her, especially after she had a certain amount of difficulty getting the stain to go on the way she wanted.
