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)

Okay I was making an ad piece for work and the feeder on top is what I started with. I added the green background, Nuthatch, and the holes in the suet...I love it! It has been a hit.

Day 5 of the 365 days of art

 Hello...so the spark today was to use something you collect in the piece. That would be hard...I am an artist...we collect everything. So at the paper tonight there was an ad with Ladybugs on the whole page. I cut some out and cut the wings. Then folding them made them look like they were flying. I thought...why not use aluminium cans. I watched people throw their cans away and started gathering them and washing them out. At home I have a large trash can (outside) lined that I toss them in every morning. When the can gets full I take them to be recycled.  So I cut up a can, used a marker to make dots and tah dah...done...kinda on the crafty side but C'est la vie.
