WIP Wednesdays!

I know, I've been a bit of a blogging slacker lately!

I know I've said it before, but I honestly don't know how other artists & bloggers get it all done! Between house, PTO & family life; design obligations & just-for-fun creative time, I hardly have a minute to take a photo let alone get it edited to put up here! LOL!!

BUT, I think I might have a small solution that will keep me posting at least once a week! 

A "WIP Wednesdays" post! 

What is a "WIP Wednesdays" post you ask? Well, it's a "Work In Progress" post to show you what's on my desk, easel, workspace that week!

Hopefully I can get in a groove & take a few pics of what I've been doing each week & post it every Wednesday!

Now, I know I am not perfect & I hope that you will bare with me as I get it rolling, cuz I know I might miss a few here & there! But I thought it was worth a go!

So, without further ado…

Just a little peek at the canvas on my easel today…

Layer 1

 This is the beginning of a 18x36 canvas I am doing for my little niece, Alyssa's bedroom.

Layer 2

Of course the photo doesn't show it, but you can see some of the textured layers under the paint as well as see the raised texture of them in some areas!

I can't wait to do the next layer…a girl, some butterflies & trees!

See you next Wednesday, if not before!

Cheers!

She Was a Nurturing Soul

Hello!

Thanks for stopping by today!

This month for the Altered Pages Challenge (Starts on Monday, 4/8) we were to work with some of the great Bird Collages Jean has. Here are some pictures of the canvas board I did.
(You can read a little bit about the products I used on the Scrap-a-Teeny Blog where the official "challenge" post is located!)
I've been reading & playing around with Suzi Blu's "Mixed Media Girls" book & decided to give one a try...I'm really proud of how she turned out!

"She was a nurturing soul"

As you can see, she's very dimensional with lots of texture!

I even decided to list her in my Etsy shop...I plan to make more! Many, many more! In all shapes & sizes!
She was too much fun to create!

Cheers!
