In The Studio This Week


Lots happening in the studio this week!

A custom order from Etsy that I've been working on . . .


A lady from Vancouver found me
and one of her mom's favorite sayings is,
~ live by what you trust, not by what you fear ~

Isn't that awesome?
I loved it!

So here's photos . . . the gloss is still drying around the beads . . .
so the photos are "fresh"



Excited about my business facebook page!

So, I'm making art like crazy!
~And loving it!~

I {may} be at the Sturgis Holiday Open House on November 18-19 also.
Will announce this when it's "for sure" on the fb page!








My "Studio" music this week has been this:




"What If We Were Real" by MANDISA.
An album loaded with TRUTH and powerful messages!
Love this song:  The Truth About Me




Creating new backgrounds with
my new Adirondack Alcohol Inks
and loving this
"patterned" background:


~ Proverbs 31 is my inspiration for this one ~
which reminds me of both of my grandmothers
in their own unique way.


And my little creative artist is working
by my side:


on her "Moxie Girl" kit that I am thinking
we need to use for our Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts.


I adore Operation Christmas Child
and Moxie Girls.
Have you heard of them?

Check out "OCC" here:  Operation Christmas Child
~ Love sharing Jesus with kids with all my heart ~
~ There's no greater difference in a life than wholehearted belief in and love for Him. ~

And here is "Moxie" message:


Here's a fun idea for this weekend:  Pumpkin Mess - age
It's a little tradition I do with my kids & at church last year.
Not sure who to give credit to . . . received it via e-mail several years ago.
But the message sticks & is SO good.

Here's to a great week in your studio!

    I love seeing your mixed media pieces- they are so neat!

    I wanted to do the pumpkin thing w/ my kids, but they got up early before me one morning and tried carving them without me (and without cleaning out the insides) so the pumpkins were ruined. Kinda proves a good point, though- if you try to do it alone and don't clean the insides out you get rotten pumpkins instead.

    You have so many wonderful things going on! I love the custom order piece. Just beautiful! Do you print your photos on regular photo paper? In the images the photos on the pieces look so wonderfully thick... love that! I hope you have great time at all your upcoming shows! Can't wait to see more of the gorgeous pieces you are making!

    Oh, and I am with Jennifer at Studio JRU - what do you use for your photos? I used actual photos (from Wal-Mart 1-hour printing) for the angel using texture photos, and now I am a little stuck, "worrying" if the finish will do something funky when I varnish it...I think I am going to spray it with fixative first... what do you use and if it is actual photos, how do you finish your pieces out?

    Wow. Love the special order piece -- all of it, really. Maybe during the Christmas holiday and I have almost a week off from work I'll try my hand at mixed media. I have several books but am just hesitant about trying it, for some reason. Maybe because I have more of a perfectionist than what I'd care to admit to.
