Moo Card

I'm going to ArtFest in April and I wanted to try out this printing service, called MooYou can order on line 100 of these little cards for about $20.  The size is about 1"x2".  Check them out. I will trade these.  I had 4 designs done.  You can print things on the back also.This image is from a painting I did and a mixed media Doll I made.

Mantra for the day

There are so many fun things to do.  I had to make myself a sign.  I'm not sure it will work.

Anne Bagby

Anne Bagby is a artist I have admired for years !!  She has a feature in the current Somerset Studio.  I had to try her project.  Of course I didn't totally follow the directions but this is what I came up with.  She is a very inspiring lady so check her out. www.annebagby.com

Inside the bag

I had some fun with the inside.  I added ribbons and contrasting colors for lining, also a pocket.  Now I'm going to paint a bunch and do some in smaller or bigger sizes.

New Inspiration

OK now I have my sewing area together.  and I have room in the studio so I can breath. All this lets my brain free up so I can get some work done. I've been reading a bunch about painting on fabric and canvas.  There are some great books out there I will post them  next.  Here is what I got out of it.  I always like bags for art supplies.  I love bags and containers, a girl can never have enough!!

 

The studio upside down

Part 2 of redoing the work space.  First you need to move every thing around,  and oh my what do you do with it during the process???

Yes it was worth all the hard work . I now have room to walk , set up my easel YEAH 



My next project will be the floor.  I'm going to paint it  YEAH again.  I'm happy !!

Refreshing the studio

Well winter has gotten to me again !  Every year I go through this.  My work area is never big enough and I really want to be out in Sunshine so I clean up my work space. It is good therapy and I usually find things I have lost.  Boy,, it really looks different this time.
