Li’l k
I’ve been working on a new collage series titled Li’l k. All of the images are of me from my child hood circa early to mid 1970s. The fashion influence and blatant joy-of-being warms my heart. Check me out on IG @kathrynlissack. Each image is collaged and painted with acrylics on vintage paper, 14” x…What’s Been Going on These Days?
How time flies when you’re isolating! Winter is over, Spring sped by and summer is beginning to wane. I won’t bemoan the lack of diverse scenery or stimulating experiences this past year, because I know that I, and my family, are some the fortunate ones.

A little surprise {ing}
Psssssst! I’m making something new for the sale. I haven’t said anything before now because I wasn’t sure these would work. I’m making ceramic broaches that are adorned with found, rusted wire. Yes I am! I am treating the wire to keep the patina on… and not rub off onto clothing. Since these are a…

Holiday market collages continue

Holiday collage update
Today is a brief update on the little collages I’m creating for the craft market which I’ll be participating in early December. I have just about completed the third one (out of six). It’s quite sweet, don’t you agree?
