Two Kids and One Art Studio Equals No Work Time for Me

I had such good intentions for the weekend. I tidied up some space and sat down to work on some projects. I didn’t get very much done before the county wide artist studio tour (very fun) and when I came back from the tour, I had two little visitors come to spend the day.
While I […]

Portrait Progress

I thought you might like to see my progress on the pieces I am working on for Paulette Insall’s class. I have been using a lot more water when I’m applying the acrylics and I think it does make a big difference.

Can you believe I am still using that Fleur di Lys stamp? It […]

Technique Tuesday - Aluminum Can Embellishments

If you’re anything like me, you spend half the time you’re drinking your Arizona Tea admiring the can. However, cutting up aluminum cans is kind of like dancing on razor wire barefoot. It is a dumb idea and you’re going to get cut. I drink a lot of this tea in its pretty green and […]

Art Supply Sunday - The Amazing Light Tent

You may have noticed the umm…horribleness of my photography. My art looks blurry, grainy, or both. So, I bought a light tent to see if it would help me take better art photos. They were awful, but I had the light tent in what we’ve renamed the shade room until someone puts the windows required […]

In Our House Night Challenge

I love houses, so I was really excited to see the In Our House challenge blog. This week’s challenge theme is night.
I used a Fleur des Lys stamp on the background, but you really can’t see much of it. The image is a packing tape transfer over a piece of vintage sheet music and […]

My Biggest Household Waste

The List Maven, one of the other Lifestyles channel bloggers, wants to know what I waste money on the most. I thought I’d add to the question a bit and show why I waste my money. So, here is a picture of the product I buy way too much of - paper towels - and […]

Card Player’s Birthday Card Layout

Sometimes, I use my rubber stamps to make cards. Crazy, isn’t it?
I realized at the last minute that I needed a birthday card for my poker loving brother, so I whipped up this one using a card stamp from Just for Fun on the way out the door.

A Letter I Sent to My Senators and Representative This Morning

I don’t know if you’ve heard about the Orphan Works Act. Ruined Art has a wonderful, in depth blog post about this lousy idea. I am not someone who joins petitions and emails my representatives so often I’m on a first name basis, but if this act passes, it has the potential to destroy the […]

Illustration Friday - Seed

I decided to combine portrait practice and today’s Illustration Friday word. Wow, do I need more practice. Anyway, after ignoring the slightly blue and sort of blotchy girl, I was pretty happy. I used a stamp I carved and several foam stamps on the background. The saying says, “Nurture the seed of your creativity and […]
