Art Saves Lives! A stamped table collaboration

I’m starting to get into the swing of creating a bit more, after going through a quieter period. If you are not doing a lot of art for whatever reason, do not despair.

1994 stamped shirt wears well!

It was the day after Christmas. I was looking for something lightweight, but long sleeve, to wear outside while enjoying a fire Steven was making in the chimenea.

In sight, in mind

A couple of weeks ago I was doing a few quick gel plate prints because I had saved some interesting leaves I wanted to print . . . I also used some leftover white paint like a mask with the gel plate, printing on top of some old calendar art . . .

something fishy going on . . .

Yes, something fishy is going on! I went back to working in my larger 9" x 12" Dylusions Journal. The other morning I went on an "artist's date" with myself…

Finished Table

The table is now finished. See this post if you missed part 1. Actually, that would be part 1 of the second life of this table. Steven made the table 2 years ago…

Table Stamping

Here is a table my husband Steven made that I stamped. The top finish had gotten quite scuffed because we use the table so much. I asked Steven to refinish it…

more mail art . . .

I love to create mail art. My pieces often have rubber stamping all over the envelope. I still use lots of stamps from my days working in an Art Rubber Stamp Store. It's a quick way to add art! Although, mail art can be so many different things . . . This card is from the Ringling Museum in Florida . . .

An exchange with Frieda

It is always nice to exchange art with friends, but especially lovely when exchanging with someone you have gotten to know over time and whose art you admire so much!

my first prayer flag

Prayer Flags. Have you ever made one? Traditional Tibetan prayer flags are usually squares or rectangles of brightly colored fabric, often woodblock printed.

ART Journal crayon spread

I finished this spread in my journal yesterday after Joy left, but it was too late and I was too tired to post it. After a good night sleep, a scan and some resizing of photos, here's how I finished my watercolor crayon background spread…
