Still loving this online collage workshop! Details in previous post. This is a grid with three-inch squares.
Lesson 1 grid from Catherine Rains’s incredible (free!) “Collage Breakthrough” online workshop this week and next. So wonderful already, with Cat’s warm and clear teaching style and generous team members, too, sharing their work. Thousands of folks are tuning in and creating from all corners of the globe.
This exercise was much akin to patchwork quilting to me. Loved it!
Here’s Cat’s website:

It’s almost here – Dec. 16! How will you celebrate? I’ve been enjoying nods to Jane Austen all year – here’s my post today over at my author blog with links to ways you might get your Jane Austen on, too!
Poetry Friday – Cheers to Jane Austen! – Robyn Hood Black… The Jane Austen House over in England has offered many online gems.
On Instagram (artsylettersgifts) and in my Etsy listing, I have a short video of the making of this glass cabochon ornament. The image is based on the circa 1810 sketch Cassandra Austen made of her beloved sister.
My favorite Jane Austen novel is Pride and Prejudice – what’s yours?
Still having fun at the online Gel Printers Summit 2025. Even found one of my Poetry Friday pals in there! The summit is organized each year by artist Drew Steinbrecher.
I’m “behind” already, but participants have lifetime access to the courses, which is great. Here’s my latest adventure. I strayed far off course from the project in Tania Ahmed‘s wonderful session but ended up making a little triptych on vintage library cards with leaf prints and bits of stencils.
Here were some earlier play-prints from courses with
Rebecca Chapman and Kellee Conrad – again, very far afield from the actual instructions!
Well, as mentioned, I’m behind, so back to it….
