My Journey Into Art

this is the last 4 x 4 with a theme of quotes.I love this painting by Monet and the quote I put with it!
Now I’m off to do another 4 x 4.5 monthly mingle and 18 something or others as thank you for members of a swap I hosted.
Thank you for all your kind comments [...]

the theme for this one is letters and quotes. I was looking through my stash of paper and found a piece of one of my favourite Basic Grey lines and it had ‘my’ on it. PERFECT!!!!!!! So I looked through my stash of quotes for something starting with my that would pertain to an artist [...]

are you getting tired of these yet? LOL Only 2 more to go! This was another open theme so I did vintage friends.

This one’s theme is Vintage Children.
only 3 more to go! LOL These are getting harder as I go. 2 left are both quotes which I love but to try to illustrate what I choose, hmmmmmmm, and the other one is open theme.

These were done for a 2-4-2 swap with 2 other artists.

this is for an open theme but as the recipient is partial to Oriental themes, I decided to go Oriental. When I 1st started to stamp, I went through a phase where almost everything I did was oriental but over the last couple of years, I do it very seldom. But, I had these gorgeous [...]

this one is for a vintage men theme.

and this one is vintage children. These are getting addicting and I’m really enjoying doing them up. I’m going to miss ding these when I’m done the 10 but I may just do some for me! LOL

Are You More Yin or Yang?
I enjoy doing these little quizzes for the fun. I don’t know how accurate they are but heck a little diversion never hurt anyone! LOL

Why is it that you can sit all day and stew for ideas but they always come when you should be in bed? I did have the elements for this one ready but I didn’t know how it was going to come together.
The quote is one of my favourites from Oscar Wilde “I [...]

I’m involved in a 4×4 swap with 10 other artists and each of us has our own theme. I wanted to get started on them as I’m going back to work earlier than I thought and I won’t have as much time to get them all done and out in time.
This is the 1st one [...]

I was approached by a lady today, Lara Berch, who has a NEW tutorial site. She asked me if she could link to me! I was so honoured that of course I said yes! LOL I haven’t had time to check out all she has to offer, but I will!!!! So far it looks great [...]

I’m almost at 1000 hits on my counter and I’d like to thank everyone who visits and gives me a [...]

this is the atc I was working on when I got the idea for the mans image one. I had fun with it. I love using lace and fabric in my stuff now and I’ll get more pieces of the vintage table cloth I have cut up so I can just grab for it [...]

using an image that Kelly offered up as a challenge on her yahoo group Altered Designs. I’m not very good at masculine anything but this image produced a spark and as I was already playing, I decided to get this one out 1st. The one I was working on is drying now as I type [...]

I just made for a challenge on a new Yahoo group for collage artists that just formed only days ago. I’m really impressed with this group and the owner! It’s obvious that she’s put a lot of thought, time and effort into this group and I congratulate her.
There were so many great atcs uploaded [...]
