Pieces for Fundraiser

So, my youngest sister and her band decided to have a fund raiser for the victims of the Japanese Tsunami.  Other bands and v ocalists joined up with her, and next thing you know it is HUGE!!!  Why am I telling you this (besides wanting to brag about my baby sister?) well because she asked me to donate a piece of my art for an auction they are having.

Of course I said yes immediately, but as the project grew, the venues multiplied, so I have sent off 3.  Here they are -

Let's hope they bring in a ton of money for this worthy cause.

Have a great evening all, I am off to work in my art journal.

Another She Art Girl

I loved making this one.  I designed my background paper which I then collaged on to the canvas and then added some stain and rub-ons.  Her skirt is fabric which I stamped before attacking with ModPodge.  Her shirt however is scrap from a glossy craft magazine as is her hat. 

No sooner was she created that she was adopted by a local young woman who "fell in love" with her.  Thank goodness I got a picture first.  lol

Have a great day everyone!

Latest She Art Girl

Good morning all!

Once again I was completely posessed by Christie Tomlinson's infectious teaching methods.  I LOVE her She-Art Class and can't wait to see what her next course will be.  I urge you crafty types to check Scarlet Lime out. 

Anyway I want to share my latest Girl with you.  This time we learned to add scenes and doodles to our art. 

Okay, I have to tell you - I love the way she turned out!  This one is definitely a keeper.  She is mine mine mine.  Muahahahaha!

Okay, so now I am off to work on my journal. 

Have a great day everyone!

There is life after a heart attack!

Hello my friends -

Life has been a little hectic here since my "mild heart attack" before Christmas.  No one can figure out why it happened or why I am still having issues, so I have been spending a lot of time (too much time) with cardiologists.  At least I am not in hospital...

I feel fine.  So no worries here.

So here's the scoop.  I am SICK of making cards!  I don't think I could put another one together if my life depended on it.  Of course, I need to do something, so I decided to visit the amazing world of altered art.  I visited and loved it so much I moved in.

I am taking Christie Tomlinson's She Art course and am just loving it.  Christie is a wonferfully quirkie woman with huge talent.  She is an excellent teacher and has the gft of making everyone feel good about their art.

Here is my first attempt -

and here is my second.

I am also learning to make Art Journals, and although I can only dream of being as good as artists such as Sheena MooreI am loving the process.

Here is the cover to my first book, I also prepped the pages and added fiber to make it interesting  -

 and here are a few pages

This is my FAVORITE page so far

So as you can see, I have not been idle, just doing my own thing and enjoying it.  I will keep you posted as I travel my artsy journey. So far I am having a blast!

Have a great day my lovelies.
