Day 11 of 30 Days of Art!

one of my favorite things to do is use magazines images and paint them some-what differently.

today's painting is about love and how when you are "in it" you shine.

today's ATC is about looking deeper in yourself and imagine the possibilities.

Day 10 of 30 Days of Art!

can you believe I've been doing this for 10 Days!? well, it doesn't feel like it and that's great because it's a long time till I reach 100!

today's painting is another mix of painting and journaling. I love the background! layers of paint and stamps.

today's ATC is simple but pretty. some nice layered paper and a butterfly stamp traced over with twine. and 3 very sparkly rhinestones.

Day 9 of 30 Days of ART

I'm enjoying my daily jaunt into the depths of my imagination. it's comforting to know that after a long day I get to play and get messy.

this painting started out as an ordinary painting but then turned into a journal page. love when the unexpected happens.

today's ATC is pretty cool I must admit, I created a paper clay heart wrapped it in twine coated it with rub n buff and added some word beads. so much fun!

Day 8 0f 30 Days of Art

I made it a week and I'm still going strong! I'm looking forward to tomorrow I may actually get done early.
so here is the painting, a mixed media lovely with a great message.

this ATC has a paper flower made from pre-painted paper that I had laying around. sometimes I will spend a couple of hours just smearing, scraping, splattering and flicking paint on paper just to have it on hand for just these moments...you never know when you'll need an awesome paper flower!

Day 7 of 30 Days of Art

today, I created this collage of this Strange yet lovely woman.

she is painted using acrylics over several layers of paint and paper. she holds the quote as to show balance because in life you must balance the good with the bad.

this ATC is one of my favorites, it is a 3D type of artwork that I recently became a fan of; hope you like it.

Day Six Of 30 Days of Art!

boy, am I tired! I had a very stressful day. yet nothing I had to go through today could compare to my daughter who lost her four-legged baby today. Ginger was her name and she had been sick for a very Long time so my daughter didn't want to see her suffer any longer and now she is at peace. and playing with the best yarn ever!

the painting is of Ginger

 I love you Ginger baby...

ATC number six (day six)

Day 5 of 30 days of Art

Day 5 of 30 Days of art Yay!
so, I tend to play with random crap that most people throw away and today Is no different. I used meat trays; the stuff your super market wraps the meat in.

I cut off the sides so I could have a flat surface to work on. then I took a dull pencil and drew out my design; here I chose an Owl, isn't he sweet? after I finished drawing the owl and was happy with the design (you only get as many go's as you have trays) Luckily one was enough. then I added the paints quickly so to keep it from drying. place your paper over it and use a brayer or a cup and roll out the print.

..print as many as you'd like the design never changes but you can change the colors as often as you like. this works great on T-shirts too!

Today's ATC is a collage of random goodness I gathered. the background is designer paper from Tim Holtz and so is the film strip ribbon ...just love all of his stuff!
