Artful Monday - Bloom Purple

Bloom Purple

Originally uploaded by StampingMad

Another piece of art for the skinny book today. I sketched in a sunflower on a background of shimmery ink and acrylic paint. You can’t see how it really looks in this scan - the lightest inks are showing up as […]

Artful Monday - Shrink Plastic Revisited

I am working on a new set of skinny book pages as an emergency fill in for Altered Abbey’s skinny book swap. Some of them needed something extra, so I wrote phrases on some pieces of shrink plastic and popped them in the oven. I’m going to tie the little word charms to some of […]

Artful Monday - Captured Fairy

The little guy took one look at this adorable captured fairy jar video by Suzi Blu and decided we absolutely had to make one for his sister this morning. It turned out so cute but my laptop won’t connect to the internet for some reason, so I can’t show you ours. Here’s the tutorial, though:

I […]

Artful Monday - Another Sisters Fat Book Page

Here’s another of the “Sisters” fat book pages. This is a PSX stamp. I’m very fond of it and use it at least once a year on my sister’s birthday.
The saying is printed on tissue paper. I love this technique. If I use enough gel medium, the tissue paper kind of dissolves into the […]

Artful Monday - Button Charms

These little guys have nothing to do with stamping, but they are what I worked on all weekend, so I thought I’d tell you about them. Once you get the jump ring in the bottom button’s holes, they are really fun and easy to make. I made some that are three and four layers high, […]

Artful Monday - Mixed Media Mini Collage

For Artful Monday, I have a quick little mixed media collage piece to show you. I’m still trying to use up scraps. The champagne bottle stamp is a UM, so I’m not sure who made it. If I ever sell UMs, I think I will write my company name on the back in permanent ink. […]

Artful Monday - Inspiration Photo Collage

I was marooned without rubber stamps (or internet) for most of last week, so I don’t have any rubber stamp related pieces to show you today. However, I did have my camera with me, so I thought I’d put together a photo collage for you. In case you haven’t noticed, I love the water and […]

Artful Monday - Mixed Media Bird in Tree

I tried to scan the whole piece, but it comes out too dark every time, so I had to make do with a section photo, instead. This is an example of how different things can end up. I originally was planning to continue the cheery birds I’m working on. They’re so cute that you need […]

Make Art Monday - Mixed Media Skinny Book Page

Here’s another of the pieces I’ve been working on for the skinny book swap. I’m trying to wrap things up a few months earlier than the deadline because I’ll be pretty busy with school and Christmas present making. This one uses a piece of a vintage postcard and a gel medium photo transfer.
