Creative Time

I'm taking another on line workshop from 
Christy Tomlinson
This time it's an Art Journaling Workshop called  
She Had Three Hearts 

Christy has already given us so many fun ideas for texture, color, transfers, and it's only the first week! 
Here's  one of my pages so far. 

I used watercolor pencils,  Neocolor Wax Pastels, acrylic paints & transfers.
I'm not sure I'm finished with this page,  in fact I haven't added my journaling yet, 
but so far it's been so much fun creating!

This is just an 8X10 mixed media collage canvas I started a couple of weeks ago.  
I'm not really too happy with the results here, but for me it's been more about the adventure and 
learning to apply different medias to canvas. 

I've decided to call this 

Crescent Moon at Dusk




Finally, this was the last She Art Girl I completed a while back from Christy's last Workshop.
I made this one for a friend that really adores Vintage Trailers. 



Well friends, the weekend is finally upon us!
I feel like I haven't  had much time lately to just read blogs, so I'm looking forward to a long holiday weekend to get caught up with all of you! 

Thank you for dropping by! 
I'll be around for a visit soon.

Watercolor on Tea Bags

Image
Hello Friends!  Hope you are enjoying your weekend, especially  if this is a long weekend for you!  It seems like I've been drinking a lot of tea lately, so I  thought it was time to get out my tea bags  and get creative!  This is a mixed-media piece on watercolor paper. First, I tore pieces of the tea bags and glued them to the  watercolor paper to start my background. This is another piece I started just today where I decided to use a rubber stamp before applying the tea bags for added interest.  I love the color and texture the tea bags create.  After the background was dry, I started to sketch out my design.   The dragonfly is a rubber stamp. Finally, a little simple hand stitching on linen for added texture. The light was so beautiful and inviting on my desk today. Oh, and don't you just love my new pencil box I got at the  second-hand store for 97 cents?

The Art of A Rain Chain

Image
"Art"   is probably not the first word that comes to mind for most people when it rains.  If you have ever seen a  Rain Chain   then maybe you'll understand why I think of it this way.  copper, metal, patina, design, texture, beauty... peaceful,  mesmerizing... If you've read my blog for some time, you might remember, this "desert girl" is fascinated with  rain chains. :-) I'm still traveling...Seattle...it's raining... I'm sharing my Rain Chain Art this week at Lisa Gordon's  Creative Exchange I have been reading and enjoying your comments. When I'm back home, I will have more time to visit and get caught up with you.  Hope your week is off to a great start!  Becca

Creating Art with Tea Bags

Image
As summer approaches and the sunshine is plentiful here in the  desert southwest, I drink a lot of this... Making sun tea here only takes a short time. I've been using 6 regular size tea bags for the above container. (I like a pretty strong flavor)  You can add sugar or not, I enjoy it with a little mint leaves & lemon and  sometimes an added sweetener.  I started having so many tea bags and I've seen my friend Kimmie   create art with them, so I thought I'd give it a try!  I just let the bags completely dry,  remove the tag & staple then open them up carefully and empty the tea. Open the bags at the seam line and this is what you have,  beautifully tea stained papers for collage, sewing, etc.  Here, I used old dictionary book paper to create my flower design on water color paper.  I painted the flowers with watercolors.  Collaged torn tea bags onto the background, then stitched around  each flower for dimension.  This book mark I made using water
