I was craving the cool feel of clay today.  I have started relief domes done by a new method I just learned.  I’ll keep posting my progress.

Art Every Day month * day 7

Sunday, November 7th, 2010

I worked in the gallery all day today.   I had high hopes of working on jewelry when I came home, but I was not in the mood.  I had just got a new paint palette a few days ago and wanted to set it up with my paints instead. 

Everything is so clean and pristine – I can hardly wait till it’s all mucky’d up.  I love used palettes that glow with layers and layers of paint spatters, smears, and strokes.  They are the signs of business and creativeness.  It’s day will come :)

Have you got a messy, used, experienced, seasoned palette?  Take a pic and post the link here :)

Art Every Day month * day 6

Sunday, November 7th, 2010

memory box stamp, flower soft snow, watercolor paint

I’m a day late taking pictures because the light was too bad last night.   This is the last of my cards for a while… I’m pretty well stocked up.  These little gems have ‘snow’ on them.  Too cute.

Tonight I hope to get to my beads and work on some jewelry.

Art Every Day month * day 5

Friday, November 5th, 2010

I love the pom poms but they are a bit too big for this stamp.  I’m using some anyway because they are cute.  I need some time to work on my art or jewelry, but all I can squeeze in right now are my cards.

Art Every Day Month… day 2

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010

I have a wee bit of purple to add in yesterday’s painting, under a flower, on the advisement of my teacher, but I’m not working on that today.

Today I started a new painting… because it was class day.  Today we did wet on wet.  I forgot to sketch something out ahead of time, so I decided to whip up something cute for my g-baby, Ava.  Maybe she would like an owl for her wall?

OK, so this is NOT finished… it’s about mid-way.  Several layers of color have been gingerly painted on all-over wet paper, ‘willy nilly’ style.  Then I started to define the owl a bit more, bringing out his eyes a bit.  Next I’ll do leaves and maybe some fun flower shapes on it’s body.     For class we were suposed to leave this strictly paint on paper, but I might have to add some fun things with a pen and maybe a dash of acrylic.  I’m a mixed-media gal after all, so I gotta do what the heart tells me, lol. 

I’ll post more, next week when I get around to finishing it. 

Peace out and THANK YOU for visiting!

Project 365 lost and found

Friday, April 24th, 2009

… Jan *  in full swing

… Feb * I pretty much had a migraine every single day

… Mar * so busy playing catch up in work and life – pictures were scarce and time to upload them was worse

… April * so out of habbit, but wanting to start again

I was trying to take a photo a day and when I could not (I litterally could not see from the migraines and high blood sugar) and I thought I ruined it and would have to abandon the project .  But why?  I am doing this for myself, I didn’t comit to a group or anything… sometimes there is more than one photo I want to show… I can’t beat myself up when I’m too sick…  Why am I making all these rules for myself?  So I’ve decided to spend Sunday uploading the photos that I’ve taken and continue on…

Project 365 : photo a day

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

My son Tyler and I want to do this, this year.  I have a link above in the menu, and in the side bar to the right.  You’ll be able to follow my pics there.

Break out your cameras and do it to – it’s fascinating to see the snippets of your life, down the road.
