I found a few bottles of paint I had forgotten about (okay, a little drawer full). I am sure no one else ever has lots of something cluttering up their studio. I want to use things up to free up space in my studio. Paint Party Friday was the perfect opportunity! This was my who [...]

Still loving my raindrop stencil from Julie Fei-Fan Balzer – this time I used it on denim then stitched the raindrops with a bit of batting inside them. I guess rain does bring flowers. I am so happy I have this for Friday, since that means Paint Party Friday! This was a canvas I wasn’t [...]
I’m into Christmas – especially trees. Now that all my trees are up at home I decided to make a canvas of trees. This one is 18×24 and it came together faster than I ever imagined. I’ve been making lots of papers – just experimenting so there was a nice stash of choices for making [...]
Thank you Leah and everyone I’ve met during Art Every Day Month. This was my first year participating and it has been a magical adventure. I completed more art in this one month than I have in the last 3 combined! This is a piece in progress – I felt it was a perfect background [...]
I finished up the background on this piece and I am now just enjoying it until my muse gives me a hint where to take it next. I must confess I tried to force the next step on this painting and my muse stormed out due to my impatience. Perhaps my impatience is coming from [...]
Day 28 of Art Every Day Month already? Where has the time gone????? It has been a bit of a jumble around here – wonderful family visits, Black Friday shopping, and the chaos of life has led to lots of projects in the works. I finally have my scanner set up in a place that [...]
My Silhouette cutter was my friend for making my Thanksgiving decorations. They were made from paper (you can see them here). I loved the pattern in the turkeys so I decided to use them as a stencil with spray inks. I only used part of the turkey as a stencil so it didn’t scream Thanksgiving. [...]
Happy Thanksgiving! I just couldn’t do browns for the holiday so I went purple! The tulle leaves were cut with my Sizzix, the turkey was from my Silhouette, and the Pilgrim women were also cut on the Silhouette but the paper was made from scans of my art during Art Every Day Month. I’m off [...]
This was just what I was doing – playing and exploring but explore was too long a word for the space…I keep thinking that I’m going to get into greens and browns for Thanksgiving, but this year may be a rainbow Thanksgiving! Be sure to check out all the other amazing artists participating in Art [...]
Day 22 of Art Every Day Month, and I am playing today. I stitched and then colored it in like a coloring book. The paint did not spread well on dry canvas so after spraying water all over it the paint was more like a dye. I really like how the colors ran together. I [...]
