Hi everybody! Clayborne here, with a new mixed-media collage titled, His Orchestra.

With Mother’s Day around the corner, I wanted to give you an idea for a handmade gift that keeps on giving. Baskets are in no short supply at your local Goodwill and I’m sure you have a can of spray paint sitting around somewhere.
