Coffee time!

Hi Bloggy friends!  I just wanted to show you a piece of art I created for my sister Angie for Christmas.  She LOVES COFFEE.  She loves MATH.  So I combined the two for her and this is called "Adding Caffeine". 

I love adding old paper to collages....it makes me think that something that was long forgotten is now front stage again.  I used a messed up Math book from 1893....very tattered and well used.  I put the "100" of the front....for no good reason....only that it was pretty.  I think is confused my sister.....lol.
I also love to add shading with brown ink and a small stiff paint brush.  I got lots of nice gifts for Christmas....and amongst them I got some large canvases.  I can't wait to create something with them.
