Stamping Mad

Work In Progress - A Bird’s Eye View

I don’t have a completed project to show you today, so I thought I’d share a canvas I’m working on for a swap. I used a home decor leaf stamp to make the background. I still need to work on the bird’s beak and I’m not sure if I’m done with the eye. I’ve redone […]

The Bird Made Her Nervous Skinny Book Page

I’m still playing around with skinny book pages. This format is downright addicting. The Bird Made Her Nervous is a melted crayon canvas with a home decor foam flower stamp stamped on it. Overtop of the crayon, I used paper lace and liquid acrylics to create a pattern. I sketched the big bird and used […]

One Woman’s Trash is a Little Girl’s Treasure

I have been working on skinny book pages for the upcoming skinny book swap I am participating in and had one page that just wasn’t working out. I commented that I had no idea how to fix it and was planning to cut it up for ATC backgrounds. My niece was sitting beside me working […]

Christmas in July - Mixed Media Star

It’s July and I have Christmas on my mind. I’ve been working on gifts and decorations for the last few days. One of the things I’ve made is this mixed media star. I cut it from flannel, painted it, stamped it with my current favorite home decor stamp and then sewed it together. I have […]

The Measure of a Man Mixed Media Collage

I finally stopped using the fern stamp and am now addicted to this fleur de lis home decor stamp. I’m playing around with a whole “Measure of a Man” series and this one is the first I’ve completed. The rest are harder because I’m trying to answer the question in this one. Once again, the […]

Artful Monday - Grow Mixed Media Collage

Today’s mixed media collage is a lot brighter than most of the pieces I do. Once more, I used the fern rubber stamp. I’m going to have to hide it from myself so I break out some of my other stamps!

Mixed Media - Don’t Be Afraid

Don’t be Afraid to Spread Your Wings is another mixed media collage I made using the article in Cloth, Paper Scissors. I used the fern home decor stamp again. I’m very fond of it lately, for some reason.
I took photos of the scanned art so you can see how they really look…

Artful Monday - Swim Through Troubles

One of the articles in Cloth, Paper, Scissors was by Chrysti, who makes such wonderful backgrounds for her mixed media pieces. I was so excited that I actually went to the store to buy Walnut Ink so I could try some backgrounds. (I guess that doesn’t sound like such a big thing, but it is […]

You Can’t Rush Art

I’ve been working on a few canvases for I don’t even want to know how long and finished some today. I needed a break and a cup of tea, but I decided to rush out while there wasn’t a breeze and spray a coat of sealer over a canvas that was dry. Well, I grabbed […]
