I really appreciate all of my readers and to show it, I’m going to do a bloggy giveaway. To enter, all you have to do is add a comment to this post. I will use one of those handy random number generators to pick the winner, who will be announced on April 27th.
First, I […]
Can you believe I forgot to take pictures? We had a small group - two people, but it was fun. Well, at least I remembered to take shots of the set up before the students arrived:
It was so interesting to see how different the students’ work was with the same kit I used to make […]
I’m teaching a fat book class at Studio 432 tomorrow. I have so many things I’m taking that my studio is looking nice and spacious. (I need to show you some pictures of my progress.) Anyway, I have a small class, but I’m bringing extra kits just in case. It is the first time I’m […]
This week, there are some great projects to browse through.
Cover girl! Here’s my heart…..
Noreen Crone-Findlay designed, spool knitted and wove a wonderful heart. The art director at Harlequin Romances liked it so much that she bought one for the cover of a new Harlequin Romance. And now, they’re holding a contest so readers can […]
Franklin D. Roosevelt says, “Art is not a treasure in the past or an importation from another land, but part of the present life of all living and creating peoples.”
Isn’t it nice to realize that we don’t all have to travel to Paris or back in time to the age of Impressionism to make art? […]
I came across a fantastic site this week - the GPP Street Team blog. How have I missed out on it all this time? They do month long challenges and this month, they are challenging us to make our own stencils. Awesome tutorials and a ton of great inspiration.
If you have a blog or […]
Sometimes, ideas for projects come from the oddest places. Here is where this Tuesday’s technique came from:
To make a spatter paint background, you’ll need an area where you can be messy. I used a big cardboard box base to protect things, but a gust of wind still blew paint back on the steps. You’ll also […]
Isn’t it ironic that I’m not quite happy with a piece of art called Be Happy? Well, I’ve fiddled with it until I’m sick of it so I’ve decided it is done anyway. I used a foam flower stamp for the background and the words are a rub on. The image is one of those […]
I think I mentioned that I was taking a portrait painting class from Paulette Insall online. I’ve learned so much so far. She really breaks things down into simple steps and I definitely am more confident drawing eyes. (Remember my flower eyes?) However, I’m terrified I’ll mess up my sketch when I start painting […]
This week, Step Outside Your Box Saturdays has a doodle challenge. It was based on Zentangles, which I’ve somehow completely missed. It is a very cool looking system. I will not buy it. I will not buy it. I will…what is that charge for Zentangles doing on my credit card?
Anyway, they have a few […]
