Today’s challenge was going to be wings and I saw that Illustration Friday has a theme of multiple, so I actually combined the two. It isn’t done because my day has just been insane, but this is what I have so far. I have to stop working on cardboard bits just because they are there, […]
Today’s challenge is to make a piece of art, an ATC, a greeting card, etc. that reminds you of the sea. Here’s the background that inspired the challenge. It is actually very shimmery in person, but the scanner never picks up stuff like that. If you participate in the challenge, please leave a comment with […]
I thought I was done with purple after last week, but then I got this gorgeous trim at Interior Alternatives this morning and had to make a purple Valentine arch for this week’s Gothic Arch challenge. (Interior Alternatives is an awesome fabric and trim warehouse store in Newark, Delaware.) The rose is cut out from […]
Today’s challenge is to avoid square or rectangular shaped art. Round, triangular, an octagon shape… I thought it would be easier than it was, but it is really a challenge to create a piece of art with a different shape dictating the layout.

Theme Thursday’s challenge for today was Spring. Since I’ve been trying to drum up excitement for a Think Spring Fat Book swap, I was really happy to see a related challenge.
I stamped the letters for spring on the page, but they didn’t show up as well as I wanted them to, so I inked […]
Today’s Gothic Arch Challenge was to use purple. I don’t usually play around with purple, but I really got into it and ended up making three. This is my favorite, but they’re all fairies and flowers. I think I’ll end up mounting them to something as a set of three - maybe a little table […]
I’ve been so busy this week that I’ve really had to squeeze in every moment of art time, but I love house art so much and wanted to participate in this challenge. By the time I got home tonight, I was wiped out, so I just made a kind of mini journal page. There are […]
I know you’ve got one, too. A stash of things that will make a good project someday. Well, for these little tiles, someday is officially here. I bought them from Target’s dollar spot about a year ago and couldn’t decide what to do with them, so I tucked them away. As I was organizing the […]
I was watching the Tracey Bautista class again and she mentioned making background stamps from cardboard. It sounded like the perfect project to entertain sick kids and adults who are sick of being stuck inside with sick kids and Scooby Doo playing for the zillionth time in the background, so that is today’s challenge. Make […]
I was reading Drawing from Within by Nick Meglin this week and one of the chapters was really thought provoking. Mr. Meglin talked about how so many of his students purchased tools used by great painters as if it would make them better artists. He pointed out that the great tennis stars could outplay us […]
