Saturday’s art and cleaning up

I am working on this collage today. I have to head out in a bit, so I won’t get to finish it to my satisfaction. I really am amazed that i start out with one thing, but end up with somethieng else almost every time. I love the colors in this one and I tried [...]

Art Every Day

Yesterday my friend Angie came over and we tried to get the soldering iron to work. It didn’t work. I’m going to re-tin the tip later today and if that doesn’t help, I’ll be heading back to the stained glass store tomorrow. I’m bummed, but it will all be OK! (edit: read more below!) So, [...]

Accomplishment!

This week’s Artword is “Red”. As I mentioned in an earlier post today, I felt like I didn’t get much done. Well, my dear husband is at the Rolling Stones concert and so I had a quiet evening to hunker down and do some art. This is what came out! I painted the background a [...]

My art day?

I feel very unaccomplished today, though most of my day was spent either organizing my projects, creating background papers or other sundry things. It seems like very little of my day today was spent actually creating art. I went to the stained glass store and learned how to cut glass and got all the tools [...]

Some new collages to share

I started this post last night, but was interrupted by, well, life! LOL Yesterday’s art is two collages. Both are up on Etsy. This collage is an ode or rather a commentary on numbers and how they, in many ways, rain on our lives and can sometimes darken our dreams. Many of our dreams are [...]

My Websmith Wizard and Charity Art

This morning my fabulous websmith fixed my mess! Somehow I missed or removed some html… don’t ask. I’m not an html wizard. I use WYSIWIG editors! LOL Today I added the Adopt Me collage (right) to my CafePress shop. For every item purchased, I will be donating $3 to Safe Haven for Animals of Arizona. [...]

First offerings on Etsy

I’ve finally done it! I’ve taken the plunge into selling my own artwork. It’s artwork I love and would love to hang in my home, so that’s the sign for me that it might just sell. We’ll have to see! I opened my Etsy shop. I have some more to put up, but I do [...]

Technical Difficulties

Hi ho everyone, It appears that at some point on Thursday I broke the formatting of my blog. My web designer is aware of it, and she’s goign to get on it this weekend, but I just wanted you all to know that we are on it! I’m headed to the Mesa Stamp Convention to [...]

Interconnected

Studio Friday’s topic is “Interconnected” and in looking at my studio, I saw this woven watercolor collage I did in a class with Jacqueline Sullivan a while back. I recently finished it when I added some metal repoussage. It’s mounted on an 8″ x 10″ canvas board and, as you can see, goes over the [...]

New CafePress Shop

I’m excited to announce that I now have a new CafePress shop. It’s really in the beginning stages, and only 3 designs are currently available, but it’s now 9:30 pm and I’m exhausted! Is there a particular image you would like to see in my CafePress shop? If so, let me know via comments and [...]
