http://www.ephemeraology.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Taking the discarded and making it arted. Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Have you ever picked up ephemera at an estate sale, rummage sale or salvage store purely for its design and nostalgic qualities, only to discover later that this thing you bought actually serves a useful purpose? That very thing happened to me last night! I was packaging up my new stamp sets (available HERE. I bought this lovely thing about three years ago at one of my favorite stores - American Science and Surplus. And thanks for lettin...

http://www.ephemeraology.com/2013/07/part-of-team.html
Taking the discarded and making it arted. Tuesday, July 16, 2013. Part of a Team. Oh my goodness - I've been gone too long! It's been an incredibly busy summer! I've been teaching a lot, and taking classes, and organizing exhibits, and giving tours of the new MOWA. But it's great to be back! Another of my newest projects is being on the design team for Arnold Grummer's Paper Making! Every month until January. I uploaded my first blog post yesterday to their blog (read it HERE. I'm already having a BLAST!

I apologize for my lengthy absence but many of my art deadlines have passed and I'm able to write again. And speaking of writing, the tables have been turned on me - I have been the subject of a very lovely article in our local paper! When I learned that The Reporter. I still can't believe that I am able to write about...

Ephemeraology: I'm a-Pickin' - and I'm also a-Grinnin'!
http://www.ephemeraology.com/2013/08/im-pickin-and-im-also-grinnin.html
Taking the discarded and making it arted. Tuesday, August 27, 2013. I'm a-Pickin' - and I'm also a-Grinnin'! Hee hee - sorry for the terrible "Hee Haw" reference. In the title - but it's pretty appropriate! I had the most amazing experience a couple of weeks ago - a real, live pick! And some of the items we found were almost 100 years old. Oh my goodness gracious me. You can see us picking through one of the ENORMOUS boxes in the warehouse, here:. Alright, enough talk - onto the actual ephemera we picked!

Ephemeraology: September 2012
http://www.ephemeraology.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Taking the discarded and making it arted. Friday, September 28, 2012. The "Pleasant" People in your Neighborhood. My dear readers, I am closing in on my 500th POST. It is most exciting, but it's also odd that even though my blog is inherently nostalgic, I've never really discussed the affliction from which most of us "suffer". And when I saw these wonderful die cuts yesterday at the Fox Valley Antique Mall-. KA-POW. That "nostalgia" hit me right in the solar plexus. And they had to be mine. :). When I sa...

Ephemeraology: April 2013
http://www.ephemeraology.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Taking the discarded and making it arted. Monday, April 29, 2013. Putting my Stamp on it! Good morning fellow Ephemeraologists! I am back after a 4-week hiatus. April was insanely busy, in a good way. In the interim I've made some changes to the blog - I've decided to focus on what I initially intended the blog to be - "taking the discarded and making it arted." So without further ado, let's go! And with that set, I made this collage:. I used handmade (by me! They all fit on a square that's only 2X2"!

Ephemeraology: An Art Playdate!
http://www.ephemeraology.com/2011/08/art-playdate.html
Taking the discarded and making it arted. Thursday, August 18, 2011. To my dear readers - I apologize for not posting yesterday, but I do have a good reason - I had company. :D. My niece Sydney joined us on Tuesday night for a sleepover, and we spent the WHOLE day yesterday making fun art projects! I've discovered a very fun equation: old Real Simple magazines a creative little girl = a super fun day! It's a vessel made with a blown-up balloon and rolled-up magazine pages. Here's the cool part - Sydney m...
