Wow have I been gone for a little bit. Well, not really gone but not able to post much. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday and if you have the crud like the rest of us, it hit you after Christmas Day!
I’ve been busy in the studio, and have a number of things to show you . . . now that the holidays are over . . . but first and foremost, I must show you some CHA projects I’ve been working on.
Today’s project is one I’ve worked on for my friend, Ken Oliver, using one of his new lines of paper and inks, which are premiering at CHA.
The paper used is Ken’s new line, Studio, and it features items that he has placed around his home and in his studio. If you were one of the lucky one who attended his Art at the Edge and went to visit his home, you’ll recognize some of the images in the papers. Quite frankly, it’s quickly become one of my favorites!!
The storage unit is the Verona Creative Storage Kit in the Forever Moments line by Tonic Studios. I will say that this storage kit is quite the endeavor, 2 or 3 days to paint and assemble . . . well at least for me . . . but I do believe it is well worth it in the end!
The flower in the center at the top was made from bits and scraps of the left over paper, using Tonic Studios Scalloped Circle Layering Die Set.
I also need to mention that Ken’s papers come in 12×12 and 6×6, perfect for card makers and bigger projects, and it has a glossy finish making for a quite thick and sturdy sheet of paper!
So I think that’s all for me at this time! Like I said earlier, I have so much to show you in the next few days . . . I’ll be back!
Sherry your altered storage unit is just fabulous. Love it. You added several decorative details which made it extra pretty. Wow… Love the result. Now I’ll have a look around to see where it can be bought.. ??
Thank you for sharing this storage unit for inspiration.

Sherry, this is spectacular. Your work always is. The papers are beautiful. Looking forward to their release. Can’t wait to see what’s next. I hope the crud is just a memory and you have nothing but great health in 2015.
Sorry for disturbing once again. But since I find your storage unit so extremely lovely I just made some investigation of where to buy it and the price. Found out that the price is £32.95…….. Sigh… A bit on the heavy side concerning price level… Might be able to find something a little similar on bric a brac market….
But anyway thank you for sharing. It will look decorative many places !!! You made a great work on the unit.
More hugs from Monica… Spain
Hey Sherri,
Sorry to hear you had the crud! Better days ahead in 2015.
Wow, this is awesome. A lot of times when I go garage saleing I find little boxes such as this which could be covered similarly. And for just a buck or two so they are out there, just have to look. Looking forward to seeing what else is up “your sleeve.”
Happy New Year,
