December Project at DIVAS (our monthly art club)

Lynn was our project hostess for December and she had us making these adorable chapel ornaments.  They are covered in glitter for sparkly and beautiful results.  A candle inside reflects through the tiny windows for a soft flow.  They are adorable and certainly reflect the season.  MERRY CHRISTMAS!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

May you enjoy the magic of the season.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

DIVAS Project Finalized

"Magical" was one of the most fun projects I have finished.  There are so many interpretations for this technique and I was able to get photos of some of them.  Most of my shots didn't do the project justice so I  hope to capture them at another time.

Below are photos of a few more by Debbie, Linda and Mindi:

 

DIVAS October/November Project

Our hostess, Debbie, prepared textured canvases for each of us with a photo of our choice already adhered.   The object is to apply elements to cover the entire canvas for a project Finnibair style per the photo below.  (Anna Dabrowska a polish artist aka Finnabair) 

 

I kick myself for not taking a photo of my canvas before I added the white gesso in preparation for the color sprays which we will apply in November.  Now it is more difficult to isolate all of the trinkets and texture added, but at least  you can get an idea.  I can't tell you  how excited everyone was to start this project.  I hope to photograph as many of the finished canvases as possible and share them here in the next month or so.

 



 

 

I can hardly wait to add color to bring out the details of the texture created from all of the trinkets. 



DIVAS SEPT PROJECT

At our local September DIVAS art group, we created what our hostess, Bobbie, referred to as BITCH BOXES, and the gals were very creative.  Because hubby doesn't like to go out to eat or he is unable to go out, I called my shadowbox KITCHEN CLOSED INDEFINITELY.  The boxes were 4-inches square with a depth of about 1-1/2 inches which we could fill with an image, trinkets or whatever.  Bobbie came well prepared with a great variety of  images, papers, trims, verses, etc. 

A Dark & Mysterious Digital Portrait

I have a digital blog; however, I could not link my second take of this portrait to the Digital Whisper Challenge so I posted it here to use this blog link.  For this piece, I added a filter by Topaz Labs called IMPRESSIONS.  To see the first version, visit my digital blog and scroll down.

 

Believe it or not, I have actually made many cards over the last several months, but I've been too busy (lazy) to get them uploaded to this blog. 

 

THANKS FOR VISITING!
