Goin' in Circles...and an experiment with fabric

In this one I used Adirondack Spray Inks. stencils, gesso, colored pencils, and a white grease pencil.  I did mention that these are plain old file folders, right?  How brilliant is that?

********************************************

Today I ironed some canvas, or duck cloth onto freezer paper and ran it through my new Epson printer.  It worked great!  Then I used some colored pencils to color them up.  I'd love to know how you use fabric pieces like this in your art work, so please leave a comment and give me some ideas.  

So, so cute, house in Aspen

Beautiful door in Italy

Ahhhh, Venice...what can I say?  Eye candy everywhere.

Thanks!

Still Painting...

 

 In these pieces I used Adirondack Spray Inks, stencils, gesso, a Tim Holtz swirl mask, and a white grease pencil.

I am totally addicted to this...

Even more Mixed Media Mayhem!

I'm still having a wonderful time with inks and paints and stencils, thanks to Roben-Marie and her terrific Mixed Media Mayhem Class.

In these pieces I used Adirondack Spray Inks, stencils, gesso and a Tim Holtz swirl mask.

I'm also working on a special Thanksgiving ROD journal  for my daughter.  I hope to show you a video of that tomorrow.

Thanks for visiting my blog.  It means so much to me that you take the time to look at my art and to comment.  Really...

More Mixed Media Mayhem!

More mixed media mayhem!  I absolutely love this class!  All of these are plain old file folders which have been gessoed, inked, stenciled, and who-knows-what-else?  Ok, I even added a little Martha glitter that I couldn't resist!  Roben-Marie is an amazing artist and teacher.  I highly recommend Mixed Media Mayhem.  Go look at it...really!

Mail Art has flown!

Mail Art for Annie

Mail Art for Sally

I finished this mail art in Roben-Marie's Mixed Media Mayhem Class, which is a real kick!  Her videos are great and I'm learning so many new techniques with paint, ink and stencils.

I mailed these off: one to a friend in Mississippi and one for a Remains of the Day journal Round Robin.  This is becoming addictive!

My husband, who took these pieces to the post office, told me that the postal worker was so delighted with this mail art that she called over several co-workers to show them!  That's fun!

Roman monument clipart

This is a monument I photographed in Italy, so maybe you can use it in your Halloween art.  I made it super-contrasty so I could make it a Photoshop brush.  I will post the brush tomorrow, along with some others you might like.  I'd love to know if you use either one.

Thank you so much for reading and for commenting.  I appreciate you so much!

Halloween card for you and a confession

This is a little Halloween card I made last year and never sent to anyone!  Any comments on no follow-through?  'Cause I know all about that.  I am the mistress of UFOs.  But I'm fixing that now, right, by sharing this with you?  Whew, that's a relief.  Hey, maybe I'll even mail this to some friends this year...or the next...or the next...

I hope you can use this for some of your art this season. 

I used the Fortune Kit by the incomparable Rhonna Farrer, as well as her darling Halloween Snapshot Frames.  Both these are available at Two Peas in a Bucket. 

Happy Haunting!
