Altered Art Projects

Feb 5, 2006
This is my most recent piece. Seems like I have been creating a lot of cats lately. I did this with oil pastels and some inks on watercolor paper. I like how the oil pastels can be rubbed in to the texture of watercolor paper. This is an unlilkely pair but they seem to like each other huh?

Today is superbowl sunday and ask me if I care?!!! I have many different projects going on in the art department (my little home studio).

I am working on 6 altered art charm necklaces. I have a friend who ordered some that have a pic of her little grandson. I create these with glass slides and solder them with lead free solder on metal tape. You have probably seen these. Debbie, my friend who ordered these necklaces, is buying them for her daughters and one for herself. I am going to put little charms that will hang off the bottom.

I am also working on my art journals.
I received some tryptichs from my mothers husband. He handcrafted these per my directions so that I could use them for art. I absolutely love them. My mind is going 90 miles an hour on ideas for these. Be watching out for them!

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.

Etsy Treasury

I got an ETSY Treasury today! Look what I made! Go and check out the real thing here, it took me an hour to figure out how to just get a snapshot for the above photo. Rediculous. YOu should be able to just have some html and share the dang thing! Anyway, here it is, I would appreciate any views and/or comments. Hugs

Some Work Humor

Cows...A Poem by Richard Armous Cows Do nothing but browse And drowse And now and then moo. That's all they do. Yet even while grazing They aren't lazing. Even while snacking They aren't slacking. If not illustrious Thay are inner industrious, Making milk with all their might. With every bite. Cream too, With every chew. I'd like it fine Could I combine In such measure Business with pleasure . Happy Friday from the Funky Art Queen.
