Tissue papers, rubberstamping, tons of gold leafing, and a candy-bar wrapper topped with nail polish “dots’ crown her head. This 4×4 painting is layered with lots of yummy goodness and a gold heart around her neck. I undercoated the “dress” area with lavender paint and used ripped up and crumpled lavender tissue paper to make this gauzy looking wrap. The gold leafing helps to emphasize the folds and edges of the dress layers. I added the leafing to the “candy-bar-wrapper crown” to add extra depth and to make the piece more cohesive. With a lack of purple mini rhinestones I dug through my nail polish and added rich colored “dots” to her crown. She’ll be strung with purple fun fur once I’ve varnished and drilled holes in the top. Then she’ll be ready for a festival!
A wee little painting with winter visions in mind. This ornamental little painting will be strung on furry blue fun fur yarn. The cool colors of winter about with snowflakes and silver ice blowing in the wind. I used acrylics, chalks, rubberstamping, embossing, fun flock, and a delicious snow flake sticker that I cut into thirds. This piece is a meer 3 1/4 x 4 inches. It’s perfect for a small space such as your office cubicle or above your workspace at home. I’m making several more of these tinier treasures to put up for sale on Etsy over the holiday season. It’s an inexpensive way to buy origional artwork for a good price. Tomorrow I’ll have another posting of a darling 4×4 that I’ve just finished today. Until then!… God Bless You!
Navajo Sun! The end of summer brings Indian summers to different parts of the country. This piece was inspired by all the different embellishements at my fingertips. I just bought the paper that the dress is collaged with. It actually look just like fabric in person. The color was so vibrant and gorgeous that I thought it perfect for this Navajo Princess. She’s guilded with beads, and feathers, and gold leafing to emphasize the richness of the earth that she lives off of. Her eyes are copper with sparkles and she’s at peace with the passing of the summer season as it’s now time for her to reap what the summer season gifts to us in the autumn! Winter will soon be on it’s way and she’ll be wrapped in a wonderful fur by the fire eating s’mores. Hehe! God Bless you all this Sunday and I’ll be back here tomorrow with yet another little painting to share. Time to check on dinner! mmm…
This small 4×4 got it’s name as I as finishing it. My heart went into A-fib and I started praying and singing and asking for God’s Grace. So “Bee Still and Know that I am God” was one of the verses I was citing. At the moment I’m still in A-fib and will likely be heading to the hospital after I call my Dr. after he’s back from lunch. This is not the first time this has happened to me. However I have been hoping that it would be the last. This painting has lots of little goodies from napkin cut leaves, to flower embellishements. The small bee is from a celephane wrapper I had saved, it seemed perfect here. With glitter pens and shimmering paints the wings take on a sparkle which makes flying far more fun! The tine trail of blue flowers with dots are actually something I picked up at Rite Aid in the fingernail section. There truly are NO rules in mixed media! I love living outside the box. And until tomorrow. Please keep me in your prayers and I hope to be able to report a clean bill of health ASAP ~ Especially before the goverment gets it grimey hands on our healthcare system!
I simply couldn’t resis making Frida Margarita! I used cocktail napkins that have summertime cocktails all over them for her dress and the drink as well as the flamigo. The flowers are resin embellishments that I got in the scrapbooking section of Fred Meyers. I used Beadz and stickles on her neckline to give that extra “punch” of bling. The pink stars I’ve had forever and a day and are actually bought from Avon for fingernail bling. Since my nails are always covered with things other than nail polish I thought I’d make use of them in a more creative way. I added a few rhinestones and left her without pupils just for added interest. She’s a small 4×4 that I will drill holes in for hanging with fun fur! I think she’s delightful! What do you think?!
Here’s something a little different and adventureous from my normal “plank” of wood paintings. I had my dad rip my large piece of birch wood into smaller pieces for me. I thought I’d try painting some mini-paintings to make more affordable art items for holiday purchases. This orgionally was going to be a magnet but as per usual I got carried away and my creative juices took over. I have a stack of Ikea wooden frames I bought about 5 year ago that have been sitting in my closet with nothing in them. This is a 5×7 pink, black, and white explosion of happiness! The head tilt, the black lace, the bright pink daisies make this painting irresistable! Embellishements include a rhinestone flower and some resin hearts in black and white. Whatcha think!? Oh and as always…. Happy TGIF! Come back later this week for even more goodies that have been keeping my fingertips in layers of paint.
