Paint Palette Coasters

Oh my gosh, how cute are these?!!
(source)
They’re coasters from Curbly.  Adorable.  They kind of make me want to turn into a MAJOR art teacher geek and start wearing paint palette earrings or something.  WHICH EXIST!  I just did a search and found these:

(1 2)
Those second ones are so cute and tiny.  They are from this [...]

Tree Stamp

Stamp making, round two:

original drawing -> stamp -> print
This is the example I made in front of the class, to demonstrate to them how to do it.  It’s crazy how quick they can be, and I have soo many other ideas of what to make.  I’m not 100% thrilled with this one but I like [...]

Key Stamp

As promised, here are some photos of the stamp that I made yesterday to use as an example for my Saturday school class…

I had a lot of fun making it and now I want to make them 24/7.  I’m actually really behind on work right now cause I kept trying out different colors and color [...]

Suspension

Tonight my friend was talking about doing an art lesson on suspension, and it reminded me of a project I did for a photography class a couple years ago so I thought I’d share it here  =)

I can’t remember what the assignment was exactly, I just remember that I wanted to play around and experiment [...]

Visual Journal

Remember these book covers I made?  Well I have been doing some work on the pages.  I only have one page finished so far (but a lot more in the works) so I thought I’d share a couple pictures of it… hopefully I’ll have more soon (I have this habit where I don’t finish things.  [...]

Inspiration Station #1

-Embroidered found photos by Maurizio Anzeri (via Craftzine).  Creepy, right??  They remind me of this book cover for some reason… no idea why.  Maybe because they’re both creepy portraits.
-I was just really drawn to this photograph, found on this post at Yes and Yes about quote tattoos (there are some other good ones too.)
-These styrofoam [...]

Collage

I have folders and folders on my computer of random pictures I’ve found online and saved… they’re all really random and I have absolutely no idea where I found any of them (which is why there’s no credit… if you know, let me know!)  They’ve just been sitting in these folders since I found them, [...]

Flowerpot Camera

Photojojo has posted a tutorial on how to turn an old broken camera into a flowerpot.  I have a couple cameras hanging around that don’t work anymore but I don’t think I could ever do this to any of them… I like them as they are.  Still, I thought it was an interesting idea!  What [...]
