Two New Artist Trading Cards & New Songs

I spent the day in my art room messing around and ended up making a couple new ATC's. Time in the art room is so nice and relaxing... with music playing and endless creativity. It usually feels like I should be creating a lot more in the time I spend, but I guess the process just takes time. I do have one other project I started yesterday as well, but I haven't finished it yet, when I do I will take a picture so I can post it. I haven't quite figured out what it will be.

The ATC below, I set on a black background to take a picture. I like it so much on there, I am thinking of mounting it on black and just hanging it on the wall.

I also changed up my play list of music for my blog. I will have to listen to it a few times before I know I will be keeping it as is, but I hope you like the songs I chose.

Thanks for stopping by.

A new painting

It has been forever since I added anything to this blog... but I finished a painting, so I wanted to post it! I can't say it is one of my best, but I find the painting process very therapeutic.



I hope everyone is doing well. I have missed seeing every one's work, so I am glad to be back!

It's been a long time...I'm back!

It has been quite a long time since my last blog post. 5 months... wow. So, I guess I need to catch my blog up with what I have been up to...

I discovered what fun I can have with polymer clay! Thanks to my friends Merry & DJ who taught me some basics, I have totally taken off with it and have been having a blast... so much so that this past weekend my friends Rhea, Merry & I had our first experience showing our stuff at an art show. It was a lot of fun, and I could not have asked for better partners to do this with.

We now have a new etsy store where I have just started to post our stuff. There is a mini store link on the right side of my blog where you can click and check it out.

Here are some of my newest designs:

I hope you will go check out my store and see more of my designs....and I can't wait to start browsing the blogs again to see what you all have been up to.

Thanks for visiting my blog!

Polymer Clay Pendants

Wow...it has been a while since I actually completed a project and added it to my blog. My cousin Nikki introduced me to some neat people who work with polymer clay, and she hosted a craft day for us. I had so much fun that I have jumped into the world of polymer clay. I need to take a picture of the polymer clay rose that DJ taught us how to make and post it here... it is really pretty!

These are some pendants that I made last night:

Thanks for coming to check out my art. I hope to have time for more soon.

A Birthday Present

The other day was a friends birthday and I wanted to make her something special. I forgot to scan it or photograph it when I was through, so I took a couple pictures with my phone in different lights to try to get a good one. Neither one of the pics really do it justice....but at least you get the idea. The background was actually acrylic paint, a really pretty swirly mix of red and yellow that produced some nice oranges.... but it was not all orange as it appears in the picture. The butterfly was from Tim Holtz grunge board. I painted it with acrylic paints and then used my stamp pad to add the black areas and then dipped it in UTEE for the shine.

Thanks so much for visiting!

Today I am the guest host for a challenge blog called Saturday Surprise. Please go check it out and join in the fun!

I hope every one is having a wonderful and safe weekend!

Earrings

Today I had lunch with my friend Veronica who I have not seen in 20 years, as well as my friend Beth. Last night I was thinking that I wanted to bring them a little something, so I made them these earrings:



I think they turned out great! Alcohol inks make everything beautiful!

Thanks for visiting!
