Glass Factory

Hello Lovelies....

Here is what I have been working on in the Glass Studio as of late. This is a wall mounted sculpture titled "Transpire Memphis" Measuring 30"x16"x1". It was shipped out yesterday and I am awaiting it's safe arrival in Memphis. I am always a bundle of nerves until the work is home safe and sound.

Wishing you a wonderful Friday.

SDC100: Anything Goes

Stampotique Designer's Challenge 

I am a bit late with my blog post for this challenge. A lot of deadlines has left the fun stuff to wait.

Kim Howard is our host this time and she has given us the freedom to create. I wanted to create a peaceful tag with Tim Holtz watercolor technique using Distress Stains right onto the stamp and spritzing with water then stamping. I love this technique.

Wishing you a very wonderful, quite weekend.

Monster's Guide to Happiness....

Hello Hello Creatives...

I was invited to do a guest blog for Artistcellar (where I get all my cool stencils) and I would like  to share the tutorial for  the meandering book "Monster's Guide To Happiness". I loved this idea that I found from artist Susie LaFond on Cloth Paper Scissors website. And thought I would put my own spin on it. Using Stampotique Originals stamps and Artistcellar stencil Constellation.

You can go to Artistcellar blog to see the tutorial.

Wishing you a very creative day.

Creativity and the Re-invention....

Happy Thursday....

I have a video that I would like to share with you today. Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love) talking about creativity, and the possibility of re-inventing out perception of it. It's Funny, and bone-true, just like her book. And it's worth watching if only for the description of the poem and the poet.... you'll see. It took my breath away.

I have been investigating the ideas of creativity and the source of where it comes from. For me it has a real sweeping feeling to me. I refer to my creativity as the "board of directors", I of course am the head of the table. This way of thinking started when I was in art school and feeling I needed that "Space" to move through my ideas and creative life.  This video explains some of what we as artists feel when we have that moment of clarity.

Wishing you a very creative day.

Encaustic Class....

Hello Everyone...

I have been a bit MIA lately. I was taking this amazing class with Encaustic Artist Jeff Juhlin with Art Access VSA in Salt Lake City. This was an amazing fun class. Opened my eyes to how fun it is to melt Encaustic Wax. There are so many applications.
Enjoy Your Monday-
