Art for today – “Bird”

This week’s “Artword” is “Bird”. I have not tried to do anything with a bird in the past, but I figured that the shape of a bird was something I could probably create with my collage work. I’m fairly happy with the result of this mixed media piece. It’s created with handpainted (with acrylic) papers, [...]

Art the past few days

I’ve been bad about posting. I’ve been spending time in the studio and I’ve been very focused on trying to get some art done, rather than spending time on the ! I have not finished much, but I have spent some time creating the first two layers of backgrounds for 14 or 15 small collages. [...]

Art today

I did art today. THANK GOODNESS! I was suffering from withdrawl! I took all the paid stamp orders to the post office (there are less than 75 mounted stamps left in my “for sale” pile! Thanks to all of you who helped!). I’ve been doing the happy dance since I started this process. It feels [...]

Studio Friday – on time – “This Is Me”

Studio Friday’s Challenge: “How about photographing a collage of the things we work with? An arranged collection of papers and embellishments, or fabrics and trims, or paints and paintbrushes, or whatever it is we do that says “this is me.” I know we did tools and supplies already, but I thought it would be fun [...]

Studio Friday – a little late

Studio Friday’s topic on Nov. 10th was “Studio Indulgences“. Well, I really spent a lot of time this week purging things that were taking up space but I didn’t use and I didn’t need. Now I see that my indulgences – little things that I need to have for comfort – are the things that [...]

Gifts

I received two lovely gifts in the mail this morning. I did an art trade with some friends and I received LOVELY pieces back. The piece to the left is from my dear friend, Tracey Kazimir-Cree. Tracey is also my web designer and such a talented artist. If the piece to the left doesn’t convince [...]

Another day of purging

I spent another day yesterday scanning and putting up my mounted rubber stamps for sale. It felt great, though it is exhausting! Thanks to all of you who are helping me purge by taking advantage of the great prices. All the paid orders went out in this morning’s mail. Any additional orders will go out [...]

No art yesterday

Yesterday I woke up fed up with all the clutter in my studio. It’s fairly organized, for a studio, but it’s not holding only the things I want it to hold, so that’s a problem! To that end, I spent yesterday purging. I’ve gone through a bunch of mounted stamps and placed some (over 150!) [...]

Art Everyday Month – Monday

I’m creating an art piece for JoAnnA, who has been diagnosed with advanced Breast Cancer. I don’t know her personally, but I’ve admired her art and we’re in several mixed media groups and organizations together. I feel like I could share some support with her. It always feels good to help out another person. I [...]

Sunday’s art

I spent most of Sunday with my husband, just relaxing, going to lunch, running some errands… But Sunday evening, while watching Extreme Makeover – Home Edition, I started sketching some faces. I keep challenging myself to get back into drawing, which I did as a kid all the time, but I donm’t usually take the [...]
