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...

Mille Bornes clipart for you!


These cards are from an old french game we found in a closet, so I scanned some of the cards to use in art journals.   Feel free to use these in your art too.  I especially thought you ROD journalers might like them. 

This game probably belongs to my sister-in-law, who lived in France a few years ago.  We visited her there about 14 years ago (can it really have been that long?) and had a wonderful time  We also saw Normandy and the American Cemetery, which I highly recommend.  We decided on a ferry ride across the English Channel and saw the white cliffs of Dover on our way to Maidstone, Kent.  I would definitely go back there, also.  Sissinghurst Gardens is beyond beautiful. 

Too bad I wasn't art journaling then or I could have had a plethora of goodies.  Maybe we'll have to go back and do some hunting, gathering. 

Enjoy!
