Raising the Bar with Michelle Ward

on

Here’s the status of the art from my trip to Valley Ridge Art Studios for a the Raising the Bar weekend workshop with Michelle Ward:

2 are finished.

These 2 are waiting – waiting for me to decide if I want to leave them as they are or add more.  I usually add more than these have but I just like looking at them.  I may enjoy them for a while then I might be ready to add more to them….

This one is waiting for something silly.

This workshop pushed me out of my comfort zone and exposed me to things would not have on my own.  Thanks Michelle for a great weekend of learning and great conversations.

Painted and Stamped Pencils

on
Michelle Ward had a great project at her workshop – painted drumsticks.  These drumsticks have become my favorite treadmill tool.  Air drumming to music while on the treadmill really ups the fun level!  I enjoyed making these but I don’t have a bunch of drumsticks but I do have a bundle of pencils…I sanded the pencils, then painted them starting with yellow, then red, and finally black.  Then a little paint on a swirly stamp by Judikins and now my kids have fun pencils.

Stuck

on

My favorite quote lately is ” Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working,” by Pablo Picasso.  I hadn’t been finding much inspiration today (stuck) so I just decided to be working.  I used the leftovers from some chipboard I die cut recently and then just started inking, painting, dripping, gluing, and writing.  This will probably be recycled into some other art project in the future, but for now it got me unstuck.
