Green and Yellow ATCs for swap on the ArtTechniquesATCs group over on Yahoo: I love a good fleur de lis and this is one of my newest stamps. And playing with sequins and beads and bits of fiber. Sunflower ATCs also for swap on ArtTechniquesATCs Yahoo group: The one below is actually my favorite. I cut felt to the size of [...]

AOM ATC - Misty Mawn

The Artist of the Month for September on Art Technique ATCs is Misty Mawn. I had never heard of her (not surprising as I haven’t been around this medium for very long). When ever I have to draw something I remember that I should be practicing so that it will turn out like the beautiful picture in [...]

AT Journal: Body Image

I am skinny! I have always been skinny, my entire family is skinny and I will always be skinny. This used to bother me a great deal. Especially the first time a kid in school asked me if I was anorexic. No, I am not, have not, and never will be (I hope) anorexic. I [...]

A Soul Journey: My first art journal

Lately I have been obsessed with my art journal. I have wanted to work in an art journal for a while now but never could seem to get started. Then a great artist by the name of Sarah Whitmire posted a challenge on her blog that I happened upon. This challenge is really a daily prompt to create a spread in a journal. So far there isn't a LOT of journaling but I am guessing we will get to that eventually. This has been a real blast and if any of you have been thinking of doing an art journal this… Continue

Hey An Advertiser And My Ramblings

I haven't been to the site in a few days... I've been cramming trying to get some art commitments completed. Good thing too as I tried to cut off my finger today and am now a bit handicapped until this big cut on my index finger heals. Anyway, I logged in and saw the cute little button for 'Art Stamps, Layers of Color' and loved the look so decided to click on through. Wow, I love the signature stamps a lot. There are two sets I plan to get (Friday is payday). I thought, "Wow, how cool to find… Continue

Altered Book : How To Raise A Lady

I am working on an altered book that is just for me. Other than an 'experimenting' book I haven't created an altered book that was just personal, just for me. This one is about my daughter since she is my pride and joy and the title of the book was perfect. I originally started a book for her but it ended up being more of a practice/experiment book instead. So this one is 'really' just for her. I have two spreads completed and one currently in progress. I have recently heard of a university tha… Continue

My first fan fold book

I have made my first fan fold book and am posting pictures of it to my photos in just a few minutes. I went with a theme of cards/card games and included a different game for each page. Attached to the back of each page is a tag. When opened it reveals the rules for the chosen game. This will probably end up as a gift for my daughter (as she has already asked for it). I have to watch her though because she asks for every project and then no one else in the family gets any. It's good that she lik… Continue

Standing alone, looking at your feet in the mud because our journey has been so long and filled with all kinds of ups & downs....and the mud is the only color except her. I love it. I am so proud of that page because it was for her. Thanks for commenting on it and having good words about about it...I wasn't sure if I was just "bias"!
