Day 5 in the 30 Day of Painting Challenge

This did not start out looking the way it does now. I wanted to learn different types of painting in acrylics. I like the background but I didn't like anything else about the painting I was doing, so I scraped the paint off started again and decided to do some stamping and embossing on the painted background. I wanted the background to show through the objects I choose. I am pleased with how it turned out.

 

 



A Day with the Sunflowers

September 2, 2014 Challenge

 

This is a mix media painting I started awhile back but was not happy with it. I thought I would

challenge myself today and finish it. Still not real happy with it, but I know with practice I will achieve the look that I want.

30 paintings in 30 days challenge

I am not sure how I found Leslie Saeta's blog but I am glad I did. I have excepted the challenge to do 30 paintings in 30 days. I use to paint a lot in oils and acrylics but have not done either one for awhile, so this is the perfect opportunity to get me motived to paint. I will start out doing acrylics. I don't really have a theme to go on but I am just going to see what each day will bring to the canvas.

Done with Acrylics

I really enjoy making little art books and altering things

 

 

A little meandering book

you can find the tutorial on them on Utube

I like to put little tags with either scripture or quotes



 This little book is made out of paperclay and tea dyed paper

 

 I glued pages together and on the right made a little window and added a charm
 

 This is really a card but I turned it into an art card
 

 

To hold the card together it has a sleeve on it
 



All of it unfolds with different layers

Art Journaling 101 Group

Thought I would play catch up with everyone on what I have been doing over these past months. I haven't posted any of my art for a few months. I am involved in some art groups on Facebook and that is where a lot of my time and sharing has been going.
 I am going to be sharing with you some art journaling pages that I have created using prompts from a group I was involved in Art Journaling 101 in Swap-bot. I wanted to try it but I found out it is just not my thing, it was fun but not for me.

Sister Day

My sister Colleen had a sister play day and made this little treasure boxes. they are made out of small match boxes.

When you stand them up they look like tine books. Too cute

We also made some paper roses.
We had a great time, but the time just goes to fast.

Art Journal group Challenge #7 image Owl

 My sister and I had a sister day and made our art journal pages together to see how each would create the Owl.The cutie was created by my sister Colleen.

              This is the Owl I created. Our art is always different and unique. It is a blessing to have a sister that likes the same things. We always have fun when we are together.

Memory Boxes

My sister in Law wanted me to make special little books
for 3 girls and 2 boys.
I made memory boxes for them 

I call these my Blessing Dolls.
They have charms, little photo frames, beads.

These little books are called squash books

With each letter of their name is a meaning.
She also gave me some personality traits and what they like.
The Front

The Back

All the treasures goes into the memory box.
They can add new treasures for keepsakes.
