Polaroid Fun

So I bought one of those little instant photo cameras by Polaroid called an IZone 200. It was about 14.00 dollars and the film was around $10 for a pack of three. I bought this at Christmas time I believe and did not really use it until now. I lost my instructions and could not figure out how to load the darn thing. It's really not that hard but I think I was supposed to be a blond . Heehee. So I figured out how to load the thing by going to the Polaroid site (I guess there are a lot of dingy people like me out there). But this morning I discovered their "Creativity" site. This is really cool. http://www.polaroid.com/creative/index.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441759987&bmUID=1141993848831&bmLocale=en_US

If you are interested in Polaroid transfer techniques-the instructions are here. Also, it has a great craft section (see the link at the bottom) for all kinds of fun things to do with Polaroids. Do you still have your old Polaroid? Anyway, instant gratification and lots of fun to be had with one of these things.

Back to my little Izone. It takes tiny little pics and my plan is to use these pics in my journals and journal swaps. I also found a cool idea for making wine glass charms that I may try this weekend. It looks very easy and would be a cute idea-even for me. I plan to take some pics today with my izone and I will share either tonight or tomorrow. Happy Friday!!! Yea!

Paper Flowers and Fabric Flowers

Well, I'm kind of in a creative funk again. I hate it when this happens! I'm so glad that next weekend I am going to Fredricksberg, TX again to the trade days. I know it will inspire me in all kinds of directions. Meanwhile, while I am trying to get my groove back........I have been making a lot of little short term projects in the paper department. I made this little posey pin from faux vintage post/letters etc papers from the scrapbooking department. I actually wore it yesterday on my jacket. Then I spotted this book on Fabric Flowers by Elizabeth Helene Searle at the fabric store and I had to get it. I used her instructions to make this first fabric flower. I want to try several of her other flowers instructions. Now, what will I do with them? Who knows? Does it really matter if I am enjoying myself? Probably everyone will get fabric or paper flowers for Christmas! Heehee Have a great day.

Lost Sole Challenge

childs shoe in front of hs Originally uploaded by Funky Art Queen I'm starting to wonder if I am the only one that sees all these single shoes on the road. This is not the first time I have addressed this isue on my blog . I see at least one single shoe every day on the highway or a street in town. I don't understand where all these shoes come from. Every time I see a shoe on the road, I wonder how it got there.?.....I wonder what story goes with the shoe. If it is a childs shoe like this one, I wonder if a mother is going crazy searching the house for this shoe? Why just one shoe and not the pair of shoes?! I see shoes on the road all the time. They are just not always in the most convenient places for photographing. But, on occasion, these single shoes are in a location that I feel comfortable enough to stop and photograph them. The particular shoe was spotted in front of the Big Spring High School on 11th place. It was late evening in the summer so I felt very comfortable in

Funky and Proud

Just wanted to say a big thanks to all who responded to the last post. You are all so smart and insightful. I think after much thought and several good conversations with my friends, I feel better about this whole idea. My conclusion, I do many different things that fall under the "mixed media" category...even the jewelry. I have this never ending curiosity and desire to learn new techniques. Whatever I am working on at the moment is satisfying my creative cravings...if not, I don't do it. If I don't enjoy something....I don't do it. It is that simple. The "Funky Art Queen" thing? It occured to me that the people that would be put off by my d.b.a. would be those that most likely would not be drawn to my art in the first place. Thanks again. I just love every one of you. Next blog......not all about me I promise. HUGS
