Collage Play by Leada Wood, Texas Artist


I just love paper and have stacks of it. I delight in printing my own with my Gelli plate or using an old book that is ready to recycle and it is always fun to rip and glue my papers into a new design. Here is part of a series that I have made using a limited palette, collage, and a word that came to mind as I created each one.

Surprises Are Fun! by Leada Wood, Texas Artist





Commissions are a little disquieting as I never know how it’s going to turn out or whether the client will like my work. But when they do I am over the moon with gratitude! This young lady's  mama commissioned her a special Valentine that I had the pleasure to create for her. Judging by her reaction she was surprised!



Jalynn loves Minions, I mean who doesn't, they are so amusing! I created her a special Minion with her favorite color, song and she had brown hair and a brown eye. I am so happy that she really loved her Valentine. This is one Valentine she can enjoy for years to come. Thanks Molly!

Happy Valentine!s Day! By Leada Wood, Texas Artist


Valentine’s Day is in the air and that means a lot of folks are thinking about love. What does love mean to you? To me it means putting others before myself, to love them unconditionally, to overlook their wrongs and to be there for them...love is kind.




This "Joyful Heart" series was started when my granddaughter washed her bible with her bedsheets. She thought of me and how I recycle papers into art and gave me the remains. I patiently ironed the delicate sheets flat again and adhered them to small canvases and created a new thing with the pages as the background. The hearts are from my Gelli prints as I put my heart into all my work. While I work I use the time for meditation and prayer, giving glory to God who created everything. Each one is different just as each person is unique. We are created to be this person at this time in history so let your light shine and be joyful for the life you were given!



I think 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 says it best.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with truth. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 
1 Corinthians 13:4-8  

Wishing you the all the best that love really is....
