New Years Resolution


I have decided to try and write in my blog at least once a week or more. Hopefully I will have new projects to show each week and it will get my butt going.

Here are some of my art projects I have accomplished it the last 4 months....

My Art Book....


The Front



The Back
This was a book I found at Staples which had a brown paper cover. I painted it with gesso used a  stencil and added moulding paste to give a raised effect for the front.  Then I added paper, gel medium and paint and designed this book cover.  It was a very liberating! I just played freely with the products also did the inside covers....





My Second Canvas....

Jelly Bean Row





I also like to use fabric like a canvas.....  To Michelle



I used a heavy weight canvas -- wrote an angel poem and then a letter to Michelle from me. Then using gel medium burnished her pictures on top. I sandwiched it with batting and quilted it. I used Adirondack  Colour Wash, pastels, stickles and stamps. I bound it so I can put it on the wall in my bedroom. It was very therapeutic making a remembrance to Michelle. 

I am so looking forward to doing a lot more Art............
