Dream

I love mixed media, I like ink I like stencils, I don't get to play with that stuff as often as I should.   I need a bigger craft room.   haha (don't we all)

I had some distress oxide sprays on my desk just sprayed some random color on, then went to regular distress ink and added the blue with  Tim stencil.  (all we have to do is say Tim, and we all know who that it is)  Added the wood embellishments and done easy peasy

The image is Unity, and is from a kit of the month. 

Enjoy your day,

Dawn

Cas-ual Friday!

What do you mean it's Sunday.  I know I know, but hey I found this great little blog called CAS-ual Fridays, and joined in on there challenge for this week.  It was a tic-tac toe, shown here you chose which one u wanted to do, I took the Chipboard,Gem,Emboss row...What do you know this really was a hard one, but I personally love the way it turned out.  Yaa!




I used a tag I got from a pair of jeans, The heart was chipboard, I covered it in glitter then put crystal effects over it to seal it up.  I used a vintage button and some ribbon, I covered the whole thing in glimmer mist (this is a wedding card for my friend, it's not going to owh!)

Altered love!

  I am a sucker for this look.  When I first started it's about all I did, now I do it all, cute, punk, fun, altered etc..  I think I burned myself out at first only sticking to altered stuff.  Now that i've played around with this and that, I have more fun doing a bit of this and that.  KWIM Vern?

 This image was a rak, from Louise.  She's what I like to call a cream crafter.  She's the cream of the crop, and her work is outstanding. Check her out on her blog here!

I'm going to be getting a new camera, the camera I have now is a point and shoot pentax from '05.  If you have any suggestions let me know.  I'm also gonna make or buy a cheap light box.  I need to work on that for 2010.  (it's one of my goals)

Have a great day!

*****IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE THE SPELL CHECK WENT LET ME KNOW*****

Gothic Arch, who me?

I know silly title. I am so honored to be the hostess this week for Gothic arch. I am so in love with the arch work, it's fun, out of the square box and can be made into a card, or just a piece of art, I choose time as the theme, please feel free to join us and have some fun!

Thank you to Nancy, who gave me the privilege of hosting, she rocks, visit her blog here!

More of the Art Journal!

This page is sorta out of my comfort zone. I am NOT an artist, I can NOT draw for anything. So, for this page we were asked to draw our home & add some things around it. So, I put the pencil to the paper and put the house and then two trees, I like trees and it's a really fun page. I had more fun with this than any of the pages so far.

This picture is the sketch, we had to cover the paper w/ gesso then we put the drawling of our house down.

Then we were to add color and paint etc. I used acrylics then added water to give it some thinner flowing ability. I put it on with swirling motion to get texture. I added pp to the tree trunks, and green to the "heads". I also liked the words. I put "I will love me" Something we all may struggle with a little bit. I also put the words home on my house!

My House is not this big!!

Art Journal!

This page is really odd. I have no idea what the artist is going to have us do with it. All she asked is that we journal some private thoughts, then cover it with all types of tape. After that we were to paint over it with a wash of colors! So, This is my mess. Hopefully we will be adding to it!





Tomorrow, I'll be posting my favorite page so far.





See you later!

Monday Madness & a journal page!

Monday, Monday, Monday, I don't know about you but, I have never been to fond of Mondays. I usually get to go into work at 12 on these days, but since Lisa, is off I get to take her shift at the office too! Yeah, me!!

I got to work on my soul journal this weekend. I am kinda going faster then one page a day. I don't like keeping to her schedule, so I go until I feel done. I forgot to upload the taped page so, I'll do that later. We had to cut squares out and put them on the page. Things like...something blue, something we like, want etc.. It was cool.

Well, see ya later!

Claiming my soul journal!!!

Well, yesterdays task was to claim the journal, that was one side, the other was to do a armor thing. This is what I came up with. I finished today's task, and will post it tomorrow!!

This was before I added all my words to it. I want to keep something private!! LOL after all it is a journal!

Soul journal part 2,3!

I really hope that you try to work on this project on your own! It is really fun.

The next thing we were to do, was to make the journal our own. For this we were to cover our writings and then add our name to the page! This was so frustrating, I used a red sharpie, and it just ran, and ran! I won't do that again. It turned out the way I wanted. Hey, there are NO mistakes only creative opportunities!

Soul Journal....

I have wanted to do something like this for awhile. Anne, has been doing it on her blog and it prompted me to start my own Soul journal. It's an artist style journal. I really am having fun with it. This is day 1. Your to cover your page with dictionary paper. That was easy. 2nd was to write something that you were feeling. Not to hard!!

I will be posting as I go with this. Check out her blog you'll see some samples and links!

Artistic Kitty ATC..

Happy New Year once again. I am trying to work on my atc for my trading group. I hope to be all caught up and have them in the mail tomorrow.

So, This is for the letter K. I wanted to do KIN but could not find the stamp I wanted to use...go figure. So, I went with a artistic kitty instead.

I did alcohol inks on plain white cs. Then I did the k with red distress ink with orange ep over it. gives it that shabby inky look irl. I also added white and dots and junk cause I felt like it..lol

Enjoy!!

Altered book !!

For the last two years I have been working on 2 round robins with altered books. This is my last one. WOOO HOOO.

This is for serenity, with out words. I painted the flowers and the Asian symbol with black acrylic paint. I added glitter to the wet paint and some copper to the "flowers". I made a Gothic arch with some Asian stamps. and added a deep red button for a tiny bit of color. I also added the wings that will crackle over night.

I like to do abstract work. I have two paintings in my house. I have a bunch of canvas that is ready for me. Hope to get working on that again soon.
