Woo Hoo it was a fun day.
Rugs & paintings and labyrinths... Oh my!

We are so excited to hit the Farmer's Market scene. Darcie Saunders & I are partnering for a few shows and loving it.

One of my rugs! It is sold... I started it as an Olympic Challenge. Could I hook this larger rug in two weeks of watching the Winter Olympics on tv... the answer - nope, but close! It took me three.

Part of the 30 for 30 (30 square feet of painting in 30 days) Love it's Seattle Vibe!

A domino necklace...

3 Little Birds... Painted on a cupboard door. I hooked some vintage buttons to it around the frame.

It is all about creating for me - so here are a few pictures of my latest stuff & some oldies but goodies!

30-4-30

A fellow artist (Darcie) and I decided to do something drastic to get ready for a summer of creativity... 30 sq. feet of painting in 30 days. These are the pictures of getting ready for the project. I am now done and loved the experience! BTW - 30 is a lot.

The process of getting ready -

1 - Started with large lumber sheets

2 - Cut them down to 1 ft square & sanded them

3 - Covered with two coats of Golden's GAC 100

4 - Then we got to painting

SUM OTHER ONESIES! YO!

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy Onesies!

Tagging a Onesie! Baby Bling

I started with a blank onesie, Tulip Fabric Spray Paints and various masks (hand cut craft foam, a flower taken apart, peace sign craft) I also put a layer of mat board (I had it laying around) inside the onesie to protect the back side

Lay out the masks to keep the whites

I start with my lightest color & work with quick sweeping action to get an even coat

I sprayed this diagonally with a rainbow brite theme. If your spray lifts one of your masks just skooch it back in place

I removed the masks gingerly while still wet and flipped them onto my journal and took prints with the paint left on the mask... so the mask became a stamp. If using a acrylic mask you can flip that onto another onesie for a positive print. Another variation can be achieved if you move the mask once you spray one color - move your mask - then spray another color. You should have a great image in a new color!

Have fun creating... and yes I did this and another onesie in 15 minutes... not including dry time!

Glitter

Wouldn't the world be a happier place with more glitter in the world? I just found a glitter pen (at Fred Myers - it is an elmers pen). I played around with it and loved the look. I also have quite a few loose glitters that I have mixed with gloss gel medium to keep it a little cleaner in the studio. This is a great trick for glitter fests with the kid-lets.

Spend 15 minutes creating today!
