    Playtime!!

    March 4, 2009 - By 


    I had the whole day to myself!!! I caught up on a a couple shows on the Tivo while lifting weights, took a walk and played in my craftroom a bit in addition to all the regular everyday junk that had to be done. Blah!

    While looking through my storage cabinet I found an altered book that had just a few pages left in it to alter. The book had some really nice drawings in it so I decided to just use watercolor crayons to embellish what was already there.

    I also tried my hand at an “inchie”. That’s a one inch by one inch collage. Not very exciting but I think I’ll try a few more and see if I can get the hang of it.

    A few things…

    February 17, 2009 - By 




    I’ve been playing a bit…no real direction or purpose. Just having fun.

    The first item is any ATC. I made this one day when I had inserted my foot way too far down my throat for my comfort.

    The other items are in a board book. I think this board book is the closest thing to an art journal that I’ve made so far. Other than this book that I haven’t been able to bring myself to actually journal in yet.

    Numbers ATC

    February 14, 2009 - By 


    I joined a numbers themed ATC swap on ABC.

    I used pages from a Mathmatic tables book…from back in the day that you didn’t just push the button on the calculator….as the background.
    I attached these pages to recycled cereal and pasta boxes for a more sturdy base.

    The woman’s image came from The Commons on Flickr. What a great resource for artists! Thanks to Penny for giving our group the heads up on this one!!

    I love putting words into people mouths…especially when I can get a chuckle out of it!
