a little bit of DIS and a little bit of DAT…. As I had mentioned earlier.. I have been wanting to sneak in some time for lil’ (big) ole’ (not that old) me… so I have been snatching any moment I could get over the last week or two and have been spending quality time with my basement (craft studio)…

I have been painting, and transferring images, and collaging..  Like I was having an artistic TANTRUM! LOL.. my kids called me and didn’t get answers.. I was on a roll.. and no one could stop me….. LOL

So having said that, my stampies have been neglected and I miss them terribly… so they will be my VICTIMS today…bwahahahaha

So be kind to da tantrummy bella k?

I’m now gonna share a little piece of me ..

just a little journal page from scraps on my table .. this makes me happy

another little journal page playing with old chipboard, washi tape and some watercolors.. LOVED the smoodginess and watercoloriness of her cheeks

A painting not done yet.. still have lots to do but needed a bit of a break

I LOVE this one.. This painting is inspired by one of my faves.. SARAH AHEARN BELLEMARE.. she is wonderful..and hosting an amazing class right now. LOVE HER. and I LOVED this quote too

Ok so that’s about it.. a few more works in progress and will show you them when they are somewhat ready to be seen..LOL

Hiya sistahs!

Well I have been hibernating and creating and trying to make some of da stampies come to life.. I have also been working with 2 FABBY DABBY DEELISH new artists who will blow your socks off.  I am hoping to have some images for our impending release… bwahahahaha…. it’ll shock ya.

Ok so today is a blechy day.. cloudy.. sad…just yuck.  I ran out to surprise my kidlets with a Mcdonalds lunch at school.. and now I am back, I took a picture of my collage and just feeling inspired.

In this collage I used some patterned paper (my mind’s eye) which we are sold out of.. and the collage was inspired by the little stamp you see in there.. I dunno.  Something told me I had to use it..LOL.. It is Claudine’s little mailbox featured in her NEIGHBORHOOD set..  it’s such a little part of the set but I dunno.. it called my name.  I just love it.  I also used our SOLID FUNKY DANDELION stamp.  I just love that stamp.. I used it here as tree.. a lollipopish type of tree.. anyone see the LORAX?  I loved those trees..

I also typed on my new OLLLLLD typewriter the word “hoping” on a tag and sewed all over the place leaving the threads exposed…  I guess it’s how i feel sometimes?  exposed… I am always hoping .. and that little tiny mailbox is how it all started.  When I collage, I really like to tell a story.. or reflect a little piece of me in there…  I also used crayons and a big fat graphite pencil to make my marks.. and VOILA.  a piece of me on a teeny canvas.. (Uch I wish the WHOLE me would fit on that canvas..LOL!)

Is there a particular image that inspires you these days?  birdcages? animals? retro ?  what inspires you?

Hope you are having a creative day

mwah mwah mwah
