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 in love with so I glued a bunch of left overs from my die cutting with both the Silhouette and my Sizzix.
I slathered paint on and then paused – okay I was stuck. Grabbed some dimensional paint and wrote large words across it.
After the paint had been on a while I decided it wasn’t what I was looking for so I wiped it off. Then happiness struck – there was this great ghost of the word. Oh, happiness! This was also late a night so the lighting wasn’t the best.
Here’s the background in the morning light. I liked this so much I debated leaving it just as it was, but those raindrops just called to me.
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 my trees. Something unexpected happened while I was going through the papers – I used some of my absolute favorites that I had been saving for the “perfect” project. You might have guessed that I am an art supply hoarder – we all know the perfect project rarely comes along. Yeah- I might be letting go of perfect!!!!!
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 for my watercolor crayon “thanks” because of the ladies (and guys). AEDM is about art but mostly it is about the people – people willing to share their journey & encourage others. As an unexpected bonus I won a beautiful set of cards over at Tracey Fletcher King’s blog! Could this month get any better? I’m off to feverishly start signing up to follow blogs so I don’t miss out on future posts!
