Paulette Insall class

I have been having fun with Paulette Insall class this Week. if you do not know her art, have a look at her blog. Her first class is about making backgrounds and her second class about painting faces. I am very glad I signed up for those two classes. So far i am having a lot of fun. I hate getting bored when taking classes, especially online. I was bored in school most of the time. That is enough. hee hee.

So here is my first background. I am making on another one with totally different colors just for fun. I was very happy that just before the class started I received new paints from golden paints that I had ordered from Dick Blick. The first layer is a mix of titanium white and some blue and the second layer is a glaze made with some blue fluid acrylic. Sorry I do not have the paints on hand for the exact names.

The second background is totally different as the first layer is a mix of black and red colors. When i am done with it, I will post a picture.

I have been trying to reorganize my office/art space this week with the arrival of our new scanner. I am very happy with it but it is huge. I am getting used to work in a tiny space but I hope that one day I will have a decent size art room. hee hee!! dreams, dreams, dreams.

I have made the envelops for my February (sorry i am a bit late) and March inchies swaps. Monday they will be in the mail.

OK, I'd better go and make some art now!

Black textured background ATC

I love to play with texture and especially textured paste as well as this gold wax.

Mrs. redbuck was never late

This is the largest piece I have done so far. Technically, it was not very difficult but it involved for me a lot of time. It is more or less 20x30 cm.

Thank you for looking!

ATC Moon

I wanted to do this ATC but when I wanted to take some paint from the tube, more than I needed came out so I made some more tiny art!

               

Valentine ATC

A Sweet little valentine ATC. Ben fricked out when he saw the paper clip. He thought it was a message for "wedding".... hee hee. He thought it was a ring! He is so funny. I just put the paper clip because I liked the way it looked. Of course he does not believe me!

poor baby laptop

My laptop went dead. ok It is not officially dead but it is agonizing; Right now it is at the laptop clinic. I do not have too much hope of seeing it again. sniff. I have lost datas but not vital ones.

I made some art since December so I will post some pictures of what I did since then. Before a more elaborated post... some art:

Enjoy!
