Collage Squared

I've been making some collage pieces on wood. 3.5 x 3.5 pieces. Some 3.5x 6 too. It's so fun. I had these epoxy stickers from Fiskar and they worked out perfect for some embellishment. I have a couple 8 x 10 mixed media pieces I'm working on too. I have been playing a lot in studio in the evenings. I love trying brighter colors and neat papers. I've been too long in the prim/antiqued palette. It so fun for me, evolving and opening up to other techniques and colors. Maybe it's the Spring fresh weather. Cleaning and brightening up around the house. Whatever it is ... it's so fun. Until later ... :) P

2010 Yada Yada - Laugh Out Loud

New Year - New Beginning - New Me yada yada ... Every year I say things like that. Well like last year, I'm going to keep going in my quest for more art fun. Last year was simply amazing. Meeting new people, interaction on art communities, challenges. So, my super talented daughter got me this book for Christmas.(I should get her one back). I had wanted it for quite awhile. It is super fantastic. I am having so much fun with it. I'm going on an adventure with this book. A one year adventure. LOL I have chosen my word to represent my year and here it is ... "TRY". I'm going to try new techniques, new things, new places, new forms of art, new supplies, new dreams, ... on and on. You get the picture. If you see this book, pick it up, buy it. Very interesting.
The first new thing I'm trying is an art journal. I love working in it, and it's relaxing, challenging and surprising what comes out of my head. (Well, maybe not to some.) Giggle! So that's where I am right now.
I would also appreciate comments with your favorite quotes. I can go on line and find some that inspire me, but I thought it would be fun to have some from my online friends and art community. You can leave them here or on my Facebook wall. Well until later, Hug P

Tiny Lil' Canvas Angels

Well this is the last of my tiny canvas'. I love working on these ACEO size pieces. I hope to have a post soon of them more complete. I'm going to add some inspiring word snips and embellishments. Hmmm ... They are fun and I'm coasting until January when I want to do some little bit bigger mixed media. I'm embarking on a new adventure about art.

I'll share more later. Just wanted to drop in and share what's going on. I'm in on a swap at MLB and my work was in the feature photos at Millande's. How fun is that. So, I better get moving. Until later, Hug P

Whatcha' Working On?

I'm working on a larger canvas board. Just trying something new to me. Layered backgrounds from a tutorial on line. It was so fun. Just gluing paper, adding gesso and painting, rubbing some ink. I have painted a girl playing with lightening bugs.She is so facinated with them, she sat her dolly by the tree. I have aways to go yet, but it's so fun. I have words to add and embellishments. Just playing. Leave me a comments, you know I love it. What do you think? Until later, keep creating. :) P

Mind Wide Open - Challenge

Gail over at Mind Wide Open has a beautiful image to use in her challenge this month. I wanted to remind everyone.

So ... give it a check. http://mind-wideopen.blogspot.com/ You might want to join in the fun. Hug,:o) P
