Art and other things

Now that it is February we are starting to get busy on new images and samples. January flew by so quickly...or so it seems. I have been busy birding on the weekends, working, organizing and upcycling, working on orders, and enjoying the little free time I have. Here in Oklahoma we have not really had our winter yet, though it is cold tonight. We had rain on Friday and some folks had hail and thunderstorms. We still need more rain and moisture. This past spring and summer was really bad...we are still in a drought. I am, however, getting excited about garden season. I bought some seeds and onion starters. Yum!

                                    I see the moon and the moon sees me.
Happy New Year! Yes, it is a new year....and goals..oh yes...goals. uck! This should be an amazing year. In a few months we will be heading to Artfest in Washington. I can hardly wait! And then there is Stampaway in August. Just a quick note...You will be hearing a bunch about both of these events.

So...We submitted class proposals for Stampaway 2012. I am so excited to hear if the classes have been accepted. I am not really sure when this will happen...but we will update you when we hear! The theme this year is steampunk. We will have a booth...and the booth number is...We're #1...Oh yeah! With new images in the works, and many finished, new samples are on the way!
Another area that we are working on is our booth decor...it is going to be off the hook! Our booth will be amazing this year. We have started making new samples and even new altered books. If you would like to contribute new samples for our booth...we always welcome them!

Whoopsy...day 11 of 365 days of art

So the spark was to make a stencil and use it in your art. I found this old alphabet card and, it being close to Halloween, did a bat. I used an ink pad I had in my car and a paper towel. I changed the banana into a moon....and tah dah...done. I did this during my break at the paper. (work)

Day 12 of 365 days of art and Stampaway 2012

The spark was to take a dollar bill and make something. So....I made a boat and it is on the water....clever.....ohhhh yes! Hey, it was 11:30 at night and I was looking at another 5 hours before I got to go home...so clever it is.
In other news....I have been working on my new catalog. I am combining all the supplements with main catalog and even adding new images. These images will premiere in Cincinnati, Ohio at Stampaway 2012. I am so excited. I am re-working the look of the catalog and our booth. I plan to post more stamping samples....when I get a wee bit more time....don't hold your breath...for long...it could happen...in the near future.

Day 10 of 365

The spark....make something really, really small. so I cut out this paperboy. I did not have fine detail scissors so I use full size scissors. I places him on a newspaper at work. I cut the man out of that same brown paper that I made the ten-word story from. (see last blog)
