peacock feather

Spent the day working on this feather.  I did it perfect last night then messed it UP!  Sometimes art is all about knowing when to stop!

bug out

Me and Tab got the blues today.

window jewelry

Added some beads and a feather to the blinds.  I really like the clean look without drapes and it seems much less dusty in there.

I had some fun this weekend practicing the face.  Toreee posted a beautiful girl on pinterest that paints her face in clown makeup.   http://toreee.tumblr.com/tagged/clown

gelli prints

I started with some striped fabric and decorated my entire bedroom around it.  It sparked many art projects, along with the scarf I made with said fabric.  I made these last four square canvas's with my original prints off the gelli plate.  I had scraps left over from the big striped collage so used them also.  

I can't tell you how much fun I have had.  My husband treated me with new window shades, great cushy new mattress and box springs, and to top it off I have a new dresser and nightstand to be delivered this Friday!  We have been married a long time and all my decorating dreams have come true.  

gelli print collages

I won't know if these look okay until I hang them.  Or posting on the Internet is a quick way to find out if they are horrible!

I finished this five square today.  Every time I pick up the gel pen for the fine detail Riki needs something.  I like this tonight but may hate it tomorrow.

gelli print collage

This is my first square or canvas I finished today.  So excited to have the ice broken on the creativity front. Who wants to start the New Year blocked?  I have not been blocked at all, as a matter of fact, I brought in the new year working on this piece.  My favorite thing to do in this world.  Art!

I used gelli prints on deli paper to collage the background with matte medium then added a block print.  Finished it off with gold gel pen and a swirly stencil.  I'm going to make at least four of these for my bedroom, maybe six.  They are going to look cool with the original kuba cloth collage I did for over the bed.

I found some great lamps at Tuesday morning for the nightstands.  Can't wait to see it all come together!  I will post pictures when it is all done!
