RubyDog’s Art House, a collage and art supply store located on Main Street, has become one of my favorite places to shop for inspiring things to use in my work. Unfortunately the wonderful store is closing it’s doors this week. I will be very sad to see it go.
Tomorrow is Ruby Dog’s last day and the owner Leanne has decided to have a closing party:
Wednesday, June 25th we will be open from 12 noon to 8:00 pm. After 3:00 we’ll be serving tea, coffee and wine as well as nibblies. There will be lots of markdown specials (rubber stamps at 70% off, collage sheets for $2.00 and much more) and freebies.
Leanne has requested for people to bring in their work to show and share when they drop by. I’m planning on bringing my moleskin sketchbook, chock full of all sorts of wonderful ephemera purchased from Ruby Dog.

A few friends have recently been asking if I’ve still been keeping up with the weekly collage in my moleskin sketchbook, and the answer is “Yes!” I just haven’t been posting them to my blog because the book has become very thick with work and it makes it difficult to scan. I have about nine weeks worth of collages to post. I will try to upload a few more this week.

I’m working on a series of collaged pieces on wooden cradle frames. This is the second in the series, and I posted about the first one last week. For now I’m not sure where I am going with these works or whether they will have a common theme. I’m mostly just doing them for enjoyment.
