My flower painting, which I have been working on off & on for a while now, is not so much about flowers anymore (see how it started here.)  Here are a couple more in progress pictures…
And where it is now…
I don’t know.  I’m not sure how I feel about it right now, I’m just kind [...]

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:

Those second ones are so cute and tiny.  They are from this [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Here are some of my favorites of the photos I’ve taken with my instax so far.  I know I have more but I can’t find them anywhere, so, once I do, you will see them for sure.  I really like the one on the top right… the dog on the side of the truck just [...]

I’m driving home today so I thought I’d do a QUICK picture post before I go (I’m leaving my computer behind… takin a breeeaak)

I really love that last one.
Hope you all have a good weekend =)

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.  [...]

Just a few pictures of a book I made:
It measures about 4.75 x 3.5 inches, so it’s little and cute, and has 32 pages.  One day when I open my Etsy shop (it’s going to happen, I promise… hopefully soon) I think I might sell something like this.  I love how small it is and [...]

In addition to the visual journal and the silhouette/star technique, we are also teaching the Saturday School class to make these hollowed out altered books.
The idea of an altered book can be a little sensitive, and it was funny when one of the students asked if she could read the book she was given to [...]
