All week long I've been showing you my altered deck of cards which I have deemed Project 52. I began this project about 18 mos ago and just recently finished it.
Here are a few more cards.
I was trying to get a little more creative in how I photographed some of these cards.
I take a pause here to share with you a family gathering photograph taken last night at a family gathering celebrating a "send off" for my 82 yr old Mom who is beginning a new chapter in her life. She is retired clergy after more than 30 yrs and is looking forward to new ventures in another state. It is a major change for her as you can imagine. So here you have us including our four legged friends.
Me and Mom.
And my daughter with her grandmother.
You can see we enjoyed not only the sweets but the "spirits."
Okay. A few more cards to share with you before I head over to the
party. It's a warm, supportive place to share your art and see what others are doing.
So, that's all for today. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Hug those people you love for they will not always be here. One more thing. I am now on Instagram (jogatheringwild) and would love for you to follow me if you are inclined. I also would love to follow you if you let me know you are there. Thanks for your support. Thanks for visiting here today. Happy Paint Party Friday.

ReplyDeletebeautiful cards Jo, lots of detail. Good luck to your mom, thanks for sharing the warm family photos.

ReplyDeleteHi Jo. Loved your cards, well done on them. Enjoyed the photos of you and your family. You say your mom is going to another state? Wow that is a venture for sure. I wish your mom the best in her new journey. I'm sure you will miss her. Take care and keep up the great work on your cards.
ReplyDeleteThe detailing in your altered deck of cards is amazing, and the joy you experienced in their making is evident. I think its wonderful that we both chose to celebrate our blessed upbringing as PK's too. I believe great minds really think alike! Your family shots portray the love and strong bonds between your lovely family members. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteFabulous Mixed Media paintings!

What a fun project! I love the variety of techniques you have used in the cards. I'm sure it feels great to have completed a big project like that. Best wishes to your mom on her new journey!
ReplyDeleteThe cards are WONDERFUL but the pics of your family is what made me grin! :D The love is apparent!!
ReplyDeleteLovely and colorful creativity and beautiful post! Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteEach of these cards is a wonderful work of art. I love how you use colour and pattern, and all the colourful flowers.
ReplyDeleteNice to see you with your family too.
I enjoyed seeing pictures of your family as well as your colorful and varied art.
ReplyDeleteI would love to move my fingers over those cards, they look like they have wonderful texture. And thumbs up to your mum, relocating to another state at her age, wow! I looked at your leggings on Redbubble and you're right: they look amazing. I still need to make some of those in Society6 if I ever find the time....
ReplyDeleteOh such nice family photos,! Hope you took lots! Great altered cards too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
