Wyanne's Way

I'm being coached by a wonderful and talented Artist by the name of Wyanne Thompson.. Here is her Website.. So far I have taken three of her workshops and each one taught me soooo much!! In her workshop Watercolors Wyanne's Way I was taught wet on wet watercolor painting. I have been practicing this technique and in my newest piece I think I've got the hang of it... I used this technique in my background and on the birds.

I love how the birds came out.. Normally I would have used my neo color crayons and 

painted then shaded them but using a wet on wet technique I feel makes them come alive!!

This Piece is called "Listen to your Heart" and will be for sale in my Etsy Shop soon. I have to finish it with Beeswax yet. 

It's a small piece only 8x10 on Mixed Media Board..

You can easily frame it.

If anyone is interested before hand please

Special Auction Today!! My Piece - In my Garden - The Thread of Love

In my Garden - The Thread of Love - Mixed Media on Canvas

size - 11x14 inches

I am so Happy to welcome you to my auction

post for The Paint Party Friday Auction Blog Hop

 to Benefit the Sandy Hook Elementary School!

----------------------

On December 14th, 2012, tragedy struck as 20

 innocent children and 6 brave adults lost their lives in the second deadliest shooting in American history...

---------

Even though we are in March now I think about this tragedy almost every day. This has impacted me very much. To Think of what is going on in our Society today.

There is sooo much

 Hate today

beyond Hate is Anger

and Beyond Anger is

Fear

So many people are just in Survival Mode today

Some get so frustrated and full of Anxiety

they strike out in an Evil Way...

Many people today are just out for their own selves

They only see what will make them

Happy, richer, more satiated with Things to give them pleasure..

More, more, more!!

We have forgotten how to give to others. The good feeling that brings can really

outweigh many of our frustrations at times..

 what can we do to correct this in our World Today?

I have always believed in what I call

 "The Thread of Love"

When we as Good Human Beings can extend our hand to others in time of want and need..

Not just on a certain day or Christmas or when we are told to

But Everyday!

It doesn't have to be a big huge thing that we must do

Just a small gesture can be enough to pass on

"The Thread of Love"

When one person does good for another and then this person does something good for another 

and so on and so forth

Passing it on

we are extending this 

Thread of Love

Love is so strong it can overcome every obstacle I believe

It can overcome Evil

Though at times it might be very trying 

If we all can do a good thing for one person every day

we send out Energy of Love

It might be a friend, a stranger, a neighbor, a sibling or a family member

It Doesn't matter

Just so the positive Energy is flowing.

That I believe is the only way we are going to turn our world around

Can you just imagine if so many of us in this world would practice this Daily!

What Good Positive Energy would flow throughout the Universe!!

Okay I'll get off my Soapbox now. LOL

Easter is coming!

Do you believe Easter is almost here!! OMG it was just Christmas!! in fact it snowed last night here in Indianapolis... 

To get in the mood I created this piece using Tim Holtz's Easter Bunny Die.. He gives instructions for this on his blog this month..

I didn't have the die for the grass so I created it myself..

How fun was that! LOL

Isn't this a cutie patootie!! LOL  

Hey, Thanks for stopping by.

Changing Water to Wine

No this isn't a Sermon and it's not about Changing Water to Wine either. It's about changing a steel rule die into a Stamp and creating a Flower out of Tissue Paper.. but I got your interest didn't I? LOL

I entered Tim Holtz's Challenge to use his Tattered Floral Die.. It didn't matter how you used it you just had to use it in something.. Some people added it to gift bags, some made tags, some even made ornaments for the hair.. 

I decided to make a Stamp out of the die.. I got some Fun Foam and it was way too thin so I used my tape dispenser and taped about 4 pieces together. Then I used the die and cut out the flowers. My Vagabond cut them like butter. Once cut I attached them each to a piece of real stiff plastic. I got this off of what Tim Holtz puts his stamps on when you buy them. I cut each piece of plastic about a quarter inch around bigger then my foam stamp.

I found this wonderful little book I had in my stash for years.. It had a place to put a picture.. I put my Saying their.

I first put some Claudine Hellmuth Sticky Back Canvas onto the whole little book.. Front and insides. Then I put a layer of Gesso on it. Once dried I set out to stamp with my new stamps.. I don't have the new Paint from Tim Holtz so I tried to match up his colors by mixing my own. That's my next purchase. LOL

After I stamped on the inside I then did the outside.. I planned to paint a little painting on the inside but didn't know what to do on the front..... Then I got out some tissue paper and once again used the Tattered Floral Die and made some tissue flowers. Three of them.. I added 2 to the front and one inside..

The brads for the flowers I had fun with by putting some Liquid Scrap Dots on them and then dipping the head of the brad into Glitter. Cool Brads!!

I then did my little painting of the two Owls and printed out my saying "Owl Always Luv You"..

What a fun time I had doing this project.
