Gothic Arch

These are the Gothic Arches for the January challenge on Mixed media art group-owner Belinda a.k.a. crazyartgirl.

This is the first time for me to work on Gothic Arches. It was fun and interesting, not sure that it would be my favorite size or shape to work on, but I'm happy I tried it out!

Top to bottom: Caged (the bigger of the three), Passive, and Ponder

Caged-I really just went for it, and I like the results.

Passive-I'm a little disappointed with this one because the body is too big on the image, but I like her face.

Ponder-I like this a lot...I guess because it sort of reminds me of a paper doll, and I like the coat! I also like how her face turned out.

Oh and of course, I had fun working on the backgrounds...you get all messy and gluey! That is part of the fun of making art!

ATCs for 2008

I am going to try to make an ATC for each day of 2008...YES! One ATC each day for the whole year of 2008!! So far so good!! :) I will post them in sets of seven, or once a week. They will range from collage, painted, sketched, etc. So this is my first set of seven.

They are as follows:

Top (R. to L.) 1/1-Solo; 1/2-Lucy; 1/3-Passive

Center (R. to L.) 1/4-Ponder; 1/5-Childhood Dreams (Robot Series); 1/6-When I'm in the garden My Heart sings

Bottom-1/7-Perfect begins with a...heart, moon, butterfly girl, cat, fish, or colors of blue, pink, purple, and red?

Yes, I know some of my titles are bigger than the art...but that's me!

Needle Felted Whimsy

This is a little needle felted figure I made using an idea I got from Art Doll Magazine. I needle felted the little guy and added a paper checkered hat, that I also made. I sewed an australian crystal bead on it's lil' heart belly. The head is jointed. The legs are wire that I glued into the wood block and added some silver glitter to finish it. I also painted and glued pieces of vintage sheet music to the block. I really had fun making it!

Star Wars Swap

I am in a Star Wars swap-Mos Eisley Cantina theme to be exact. I have to make one ATC with my choice of Cantina characters from Star Wars, and a bonus card of George Lucas. It was a challenge for me. I had fun doing them. It is my first time attempting a caricature using George Lucas...so don't laugh! I think it looks like him :)

Hand Drawn ATCs

I have worked on some more ATCs. I really am enjoying doing the hand drawn thing. It has really helped me build up my skills in drawing and being creative with watercolors and ink. I notice that I really enjoy working with paint, especially watercolors. Those are the first paint media I reach for when I want to add color to my work. Hope you enjoy the results. Top to bottom: Art Catz, Cupcake Obsession, and Jake.
