I have said goodbye to our house guests and I am totally amped to get to work on my first 4×4. I am participating in this week’s 4 X 4 Friday challenge: Kings and Queens.
I am using this challenge to experiment with acrylic mediums. On tonight’s agenda, I am going to try and [...]
It is a weekend with the in-laws which leaves me no time for making things but lots of time for being a tourist in my own city.
Yesterday we walked around the East Village and the Village, which meant a stroll through the Union Square Greenmarket. Due to the glorioksy weather, at the edge of the [...]
I am going to walk away from my matchbook project for a bit. This morning I was rubber cementing away and I started to let the project get away from me. Right now it is too “flat” for my own liking and there are some techniques out there that I think would help me, but [...]
My grandmother would be so proud of me these days. (Well, that is a given; She was always proud of me.) She wished that I would pursue a life filled with art. During my childhood she praised all of my creative pursuits and she proudly hung my art in her home. One [...]
Last night, I had anxiety dreams about my stamps and how the images were too heavy. (It is settled, I am crazy.) So as soon as time permitted, about 8 am, I tackled texture on my stamps. I added some detail in the balloon, texture in the basket, and more definition in [...]
I did it. I carved some stamps I am pretty happy with. If you have been following my blog, you will know this has been a tedious journey, but I have had quite a few supporters.
This morning I decided I would start fresh, again, and this time I would do components to make [...]
When I was a little girl, and I would play at my grandmother’s apartment, I would pretend her home was a world of water. There were no roads or cars, just waterways and boats. I would jump from dry land to dry land or sometimes go for a long boat ride (usually up [...]
I was inspired to make this collage today after a fun lunchtime adventure with my husband and the wee one. I incorporated a postcard I picked up at the restaurant we dined at and a membership brochure from Printed Matter, Inc, where we stopped to peruse some artists’ books. I also used an [...]
But I am thinking this kind of tag will be easier as I can still sit on my caboose rather than chase kids 10x faster than me.
That’s right folks, I have been tagged by the eggdance. This tag challenges me to describe my life in six words.
Perhaps, “Who woulda thunk it? Not me.”
I am [...]
I created another page in my journal today. This one was inspired by my return to Yoga after two and a half years. Everytime I return to yoga (we have an on-again-off-again relationship) I experience a huge emotional release. Yes, I cry. Whatever works right? Anyway, I used the packing tape [...]
