So we headed out to our local "Rite Aid" on this terribly hot day and got an ice cream cone. Oh my-look at Gillian! Next time I think I will get the ice cream in a bowl!!!
This is a small 6x6 canvas panel that I am donating to Art Now For Autism.
This piece has taken so much out of me today I feel like I am going to literally collapse.
The drips on this piece represent the tears of a parent, who have just had their child diagnosed. and Hope, because there truly is always hope. I can testify to that one!
Layers of Acrylic paints, collage, image transfers and charcoal pencil.
Thanks to a friend, today I have had a couple hours of quality ME time. I can't tell you just how nice it has been to have some quiet time, by myself, to take some deep breaths and work in my art journal. WOW! What a difference it has made. Lately I have been sort of moping around not feeling too happy. Its very hard with the kids home from school and my little Gillian requires nearly constant attention. I sometimes feel so guilty for feeling such a need to have time for myself. But at the end of some quality quiet time I feel re-energized. I feel like I can take care of everyone better and the mood in the house is much happier :)
I bought some of Tim Holtz's Fragment Charms a few weeks back and finally I am getting around to having a play with them. I knew I wanted to do something today and those were sitting there so I decided thats what I would do, just for something different.
I heard that Maya Road was having a Virtual Warehouse Sale so aftera week of thinking about it I took the plunge and ordered a box. I just got it today-5 lbs of stuff in this box! I am pleased with it-its stuff I will definitely use.
Chipboard Books, letters, rubons, different embellishments-wow!
I love creating -mixed media collages being my favorite. I also carve stamps,Do Art Journalling, Stamping, bookbinding, and I am always exploring new techniques. Creativity is part of my daily life-it's my sanity. I have two kids that I adore-one that requires special needs and have been married 15 years. I am also currently very obsessed with Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga and all things Edward Cullen. Welcome to my world! Thanks for visiting!
