Today I wanna talk about Stencils...big surprise there huh?lol
A bunch of stencil loving artists all got together and collaborated to see if we could all take a plain cardboard box and stencils from<a href="https://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/">https://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/</a> transform it into some beautiful.
I am amazed at how every single artist came up with something totally different and unique.
I just couldn't stop...it was so much fun! I actually made 10 different ones but i chose my three favorites to show you.
Here are my creations.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://draft.blogger.com/Documents/E5DD91C5-9594-4243-9180-2DD177CE5EC6.JPG" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" data-json="" height="511" src="../Documents/E5DD91C5-9594-4243-9180-2DD177CE5EC6.JPG" title="Lol" width="500" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its just so cool how you can take something plain and unimpressive</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add some paint or ink and a stencil or two.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(ok.....more than two</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Especially if you are like me and cant stop!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And turn it into something lovely.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These will be small gift boxes for friends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will fill them with handmade soaps, tea, or just small crafting supplies and give them as gifts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This one would make a lovely little tea box, don't ya think?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Distress oxide inks and my Mandala Floral stencil to create this one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://draft.blogger.com/Documents/127A3883-D984-4105-95D2-C2BEA54E15A4.JPG" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" data-json="" height="666" src="../Documents/127A3883-D984-4105-95D2-C2BEA54E15A4.JPG" title="lol" width="500" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then this gorgeous steampunk inspired box. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Think it would be cool to fill it with rusty bits and gears and give it to a creative friend who loves that kind of stuff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or, its also grungy enough to gift to a guy. Fill it with chocolates, or coffee.. yesssss</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used distress oxide inks on this one, then once it was dry, i used Verday patina paints to get that yummy rusty patina.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxBRdr08CjTphKJYyugkCwhCrf6IrYEtuwD2WMfE9u3BbOWcH3oHgFPw_QTMGMT2U2-KhQGpl6_WiaQ63QC2A7IxLKr5XrAnIAheQxGH_rJQbtO8LHmG4VAp6-HhiMaGSePMj5CAsABCWs/" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" data-json="" height="482" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxBRdr08CjTphKJYyugkCwhCrf6IrYEtuwD2WMfE9u3BbOWcH3oHgFPw_QTMGMT2U2-KhQGpl6_WiaQ63QC2A7IxLKr5XrAnIAheQxGH_rJQbtO8LHmG4VAp6-HhiMaGSePMj5CAsABCWs/" title="Lol" width="500" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then there is this one... its supposed to be similar to pandoras box,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You know the one from the movie “Hell raiser” its the box that opens the gate to another dimension...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yea, i didn't exactly achieve what i was going for, but i still like the outcome. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This one was done with a combination of texture pastes, and metallic paints along with metallic rubs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz1tF7EDWKmiyRS1cCJOadBcQfa2IuRnZyalcCxGWiLGkaRbadGejH0Y_ir2bj9kTf8LjMXZh8AbPVnztMVh4iQ2in9CHzz6Kr94iNNPL-uM9qQI13w12AIDacHt2KOUijwTWxp-YS3ahN/" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" data-json="" height="572" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz1tF7EDWKmiyRS1cCJOadBcQfa2IuRnZyalcCxGWiLGkaRbadGejH0Y_ir2bj9kTf8LjMXZh8AbPVnztMVh4iQ2in9CHzz6Kr94iNNPL-uM9qQI13w12AIDacHt2KOUijwTWxp-YS3ahN/" title="lol" width="500" /></a></div>

Hiya peeps!
Today I want to share a journal page I created as part of a collaboration with stencilgirl.com. Each week we will get a new prompt to use as inspiration for an art journal page, and there will be 16 prompts. The first prompt was
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqc0vHLQmVaOjiAc57gcqGrC7OPHek1hebuPxk-iVlpGN-rDHJ3zpYotp80afSbZwHhOJpE9FBYNgjN-hLtoG4aBwsKWZdIlWl9f8zETkstk9XGDmU5FGxsqupqudsjtfkS8CT6dT0rXDt/"><img title="Lol" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqc0vHLQmVaOjiAc57gcqGrC7OPHek1hebuPxk-iVlpGN-rDHJ3zpYotp80afSbZwHhOJpE9FBYNgjN-hLtoG4aBwsKWZdIlWl9f8zETkstk9XGDmU5FGxsqupqudsjtfkS8CT6dT0rXDt/" alt="" width="364" height="750" data-json="" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When i read that i was like, well hmmm, that leaves it wide open..lol!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And i decided to just start playing and see what happened. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, i spread some distress oxide ink onto the background and spritzed it with some water.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love how the distress oxide inks spread and blend and create magical things. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Once that was dry, i added some stenciling, and used acrylic paint and paint pens to add contrasting color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I stamped onto the background, and then used my stablio all pencil to add shading. </div>

<span style="font-size: 11px;"><strong>Each month this group of artists create art with a theme in mind. This month is the human aspect.</strong></span>
<span style="font-size: 11px;"><strong>As humans we use a lot of resources in our day to day lives. Water, natural gas and ecological use are just the beginning of the tolls that we as humans take on mother earth.</strong></span>
<span style="font-size: 11px;"><strong>This month, I used several recycled things to create my art. My art respresents the connection that we have with the earth. </strong></span>
<span style="font-size: 11px;"><strong>I believe that by reaching out with our mind, body and spirit, we can connect with nature and use our resources in the best possible ways, to take less of a toll on nature and thus do our part to save the planet for future generations.</strong></span>
<span style="font-size: 11px;"><strong>
I used Powertex to create textured, raised “waves”, these waves respresent our spirit reaching out to unite with nature. </strong></span>

The <a href="https://thesustainablesoulsproject.blogspot.com/2017/07/save-honey-bees-sustainable-souls.html">sustainable souls project </a>is a group of like minded artists that wish to bring awareness of the state of mother earth by creating art and sharing information.
This month, the sustainable souls project wants to talk about bees. Bees are very important for our eco system because they polinate all the flowing plants that feed us. Without them, we wouldnt have fruits, vegetables or flowering plants of any kind.
My artwork this month represents the many layers of a bee hive. This was achieved by layering alcohol inked yupo paper and tyvek, burning holes in Each layer and coating them with resin from<a href="http://www.moldputty.com/"> Amazing casting products</a> to represent honey. I did the layers in beautiful bright colors to represent the colors of all the lovely flowers that bees like so much. The layers are framed with metal ribbon which is painted with <a href="http://artanthologyinc.com/">Art Anthology paints</a> to look like rust and patina.

Were you aware that most species are solitary, that males cannot sting, and that collectively, they help to pollinate an estimated one third of all the food we eat? </p>

<a href="https://www.alumilite.com/store/p/934-Alumilite-White-Amazing-Casting-Resin.aspx" target="_blank">Amazing mold putty</a> and <a href="http://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/" target="_blank">StencilGirl</a> stencils make this type of art simple and fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used StencilGirl stencils on my background and also combined the two to create one of the elements for my mixed media assemblage.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with the background, I use a <a href="http://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/" target="_blank">StencilGirl </a>favorite of mine created by MaryBeth Shaw with some flexible modeling paste around the outside edges and background of the canvas.</div>

Set that aside to dry and start molding some components for the assemblage.</div>

Then I decided that I really liked the <a href="http://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/" target="_blank">StencilGirl</a> map stencil by Mary Nasser, and I </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wanted to make a three dimensional component with that as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So first I used flexible modeling paste over a chipboard coaster to create a round raised version of the stencil. I dried it with a heat tool, and the combined the two parts of the <a href="https://www.alumilite.com/store/p/934-Alumilite-White-Amazing-Casting-Resin.aspx" target="_blank">Amazing mold putty</a> and pressed it around the coaster.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Once the mold putty had cured, I mixed equal parts of the <a href="https://www.alumilite.com/store/p/934-Alumilite-White-Amazing-Casting-Resin.aspx" target="_blank">Amazing casting resin</a> and poured into the mold. I allowed about 15 minutes for that to cure and I had a great three dimensional item to include in my assemblage!</div>

Here is my completed project. I love the mixture of the gorgeous color from the paint kit and the texture of the fabric really makes the whole project pop. My beloved <a href="http://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/" target="_blank">StencilGirl</a> stencils create the perfect backdrop for my mixed media creation.</div>

Here are the easy steps I used to combine these great products together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwiP2PeJk9TSAhWDRCYKHchHCmkQFggbMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.beaconadhesives.com%2F&usg=AFQjCNFt7M5LGGTSWLyWbCor41PjvtzRhA&sig2=2y8J9UJXyNV4yjdPUQuA-g&bvm=bv.149397726,d.eWE" target="_blank">Beacon</a> 3in1 adhesive to adhere the paper pieces to the canvas.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then i thinned some white Liquetex Gesso with water and gave the background a wash.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This tones down the images a little bit so they blend better with our overall project.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then used <a href="https://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/stencil-stone-and-mortar-version-1-mary-beth-shaw-p/s374.htm" target="_blank">Stone and mortar stencil</a> with some flexible modeling paste over the entire canvas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dry this with a heat tool before proceeding.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used one of the Canvas Corp kraft colored cardstock and colored it with the darker </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used some craft paint to Stencil the Canvas Corp canvas tag with a StencilGril club stencil.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilmSWtvcJorYmSQKjMRugLd98rceM2sZuT5-9SUqlsMggPL9CRCtX4HSNdVTKpgc9V0BFQS0q1dBCzneJU8wF_blNk8B14BsdZ8MkAJbeTIZ92P1Pxqw9xKXUrKBAkDo572ERe3asx5gay/s1600/DSCN4420.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilmSWtvcJorYmSQKjMRugLd98rceM2sZuT5-9SUqlsMggPL9CRCtX4HSNdVTKpgc9V0BFQS0q1dBCzneJU8wF_blNk8B14BsdZ8MkAJbeTIZ92P1Pxqw9xKXUrKBAkDo572ERe3asx5gay/s320/DSCN4420.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
leaving the stencil in place, spray it with the turquoise spray.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this will give it some lovely shimmer.</div>

One of the items I chose from <a href="http://www.walnuthollow.com/" target="_blank">Walnut hollow</a> was this <a href="http://www.walnuthollow.com/store/basswood-canvas-8-x8-/29620/" target="_blank">8x8 Basswood canvas</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this is perfect for fluid mediums because it is level and has a very smooth surface.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to use these paints that I just found, they are <a href="http://en.pebeo.com/Pebeo" target="_blank">Pebeo</a> paints.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These paints are cool, because they react to each other in cool ways, however </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you need a level surface to achieve the result I was looking for.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hence, the <a href="http://www.walnuthollow.com/" target="_blank">Walnut hollow</a> <a href="http://www.walnuthollow.com/store/basswood-canvas-8-x8-/29620/" target="_blank">8x8 Basswood canvas</a>.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I painted the canvas with white gesso.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then using the <a href="http://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/product-p/l131.htm" target="_blank">Valentine of mine stencil</a>, and black paint I sponged script onto the background.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then used two colors of paint from <a href="http://www.paperartsy.co.uk/" target="_blank">Paper Artsy</a> and a catalyst tool to cover the background.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Using a pencil,I traced several of the shapes from the <a href="http://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/product-p/l175.htm" target="_blank">Maltese mix stencil</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Using a marker, I traced some of the lines from the <a href="http://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/stencil-flower-doodle-petals-maria-mcguire-p/s208.htm" target="_blank">Doodle it layered petals stencil</a>.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using the <a href="http://pebeo/" target="_blank">Pebeo</a> Cernes relief gel, I traced the outlines of the stenciled design.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this leaves a raised edge that will allow the liquid paints to pool.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then used a glitter hot glue stick to trace the remaining designs, and also around the edges.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
again, this will provide a sort of dam for the paints.</div>

We call ourselves "The sustainable souls project"
The Sustainable souls project is a group of like minded artist from all different genres that want to use our art to raise awareness of the plight of our mother earth by coming together to create projects to represent our hopes for a clean environment.
This months our theme is all about extreme weather.
I wanted to represent extreme weather in a way that affected me this past year.

This past year a fire damaged hundreds of acres near my home town in North Carolina. It was sad to see the photos and watch all that natural beauty go up in flames forever changed. Not to mention the homes, people, and animals that were affected by this horrid act of arson.

The 2016 southeastern United States wildfires are a series of wildfires in the Southeastern United States in October and November 2016. As of November 15, 2016, the The u.s. Forest service reported tracking 33 wildfires that had burned about 90,000 acres.
Here is a link for more information https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Southeastern_United_States_wildfires
Some of these were caused by extreme drought in the region, and some were believed to be caused by arson.

<li>A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire. Wildfires often occur in unpopulated areas, but they can occur anywhere and harm homes, agriculture, humans, and animals.</li>
<li>90% of all wildfires are started by humans.</li>
<li>“Crown fires” are spread by wind moving quickly across the tops of trees. “Running crown fires” are even more dangerous because they burn extremely hot, travel rapidly, and can change direction quickly.</li>
<li>One of the largest fires in recent history was in 1825 when a fire tore through Maine and New Brunswick, Canada, burning 3 million acres of forest.</li>
<li>Weather conditions can directly contribute to the occurrence of wildfires through lightning strikes or indirectly by an extended dry spell or drought.</li>
</ol>
<div><ol start="6">
<li>Wildfires can be caused by an accumulation of dead matter (leaves, twigs, and trees) that can create enough heat in some instances to spontaneously combust and ignite the surrounding area.</li>
<li>Lightning strikes the earth over 100,000 times a day. 10 to 20% of these lightning strikes can cause fire.</li>
<li>Manmade combustions from arson, human carelessness, or lack of fire safety cause wildfire disasters every year.</li>
<li>An average of 1.2 million acres of US woodland burn every year.</li>
<li>A large wildfire — or conflagration — is capable of modifying the local weather conditions (AKA producing its own weather).</li>
</ol>
<div>I decided to represent fire in my artwork this is "flow art" which is a process of mixing paint with water and other additives to create a fluid "pour " thus creating abstract art with lots of movement. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Sustainable souls project is a group of like minded artist from all different genres that want to use our art to raise awareness of the plight of our mother earth by coming together to create projects to represent our hopes for a clean environment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When we look at the world around us, we are constantly reminded of the damage we are doing to the Earth. We are a "disposable" society. Everything we use, everything we make is disposable. But rarely are we biodegradable. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As a nature lover, a mother and an artist, this bothers me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I want to be able to pass down to my children a clean, healthy environment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So my new years resolution is to create a smaller carbon footprint.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Use reusable shopping bags, and reusable water bottles and decrease to use of ozone damaging chemicals.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Did you know that the <span style="background-color: white; color: #545454;"> Americans used about </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #6a6a6a; font-weight: bold;">50 billion plastic water bottles</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #545454;"> last year. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #545454;">However, the U.S.'s recycling rate for plastic is only 23 percent, which means 38 billion water bottles are goninto the dump, thus into the environment.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="color: #545454;">Another thought to ponder is, the </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">U.S. goes through </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">100 billion plastic</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> shopping bags annually. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">An estimated 12 million barrels of oil is required to make that many plastic bags. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Four out of five grocery bags in the US are now plastic.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">And the majority of those go into the garbage.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #545454;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #545454;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">more than $3 billion worth of plastic is wasted each year.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #545454;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>WASTED</strong></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today a bunch of artists from genres are teaming up for an art challenge hosted by <a href="http://adogslife-thirteen.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Tina Walker</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The challenge was to create a piece of art inspired by the beauty of Iceland.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Iceland is a beautiful country and is definitely on my bucket list of places to go. With such magical wonders like the northern lights and the beautiful salt flats, who wouldn't want to go there?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided that the one thing that really inspired me about Iceland was the northern lights. And that what i decided to paint.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have discovered a magical new to me paint system from Pebeo, that are so much fun to work with because the outcomes are very unpredictable. you pour them and allow them to move together and set them aside and wait for the magic to happen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
here is my finished piece:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love how it turned out and it was very easy to create with these awesome paints.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
let me show you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Start by using the "Cerne relief" around the edges of a flat board.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i used a gesso board from Amsedam. This creates a dam so the paints dont run off the edges.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have also done the dam with hot glue, masking tape.</blockquote>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then you just start pouring the paint in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can use a craft stick or paintbrush handle to try to direct the paint</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
where you want it to go, but just know that it isnt gong to look the same once the paints touch, they react to each other and create some really cool effects.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently took an online class called "<a href="http://www.deedeecatron.com/classes-workshops/a-very-merry-mixed-media-workshop/" target="_blank">A Very Merry Mixed Media workshop</a>", in this class six artists each created a video to show how to create a Christmas inspired project. I was very very inspired!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this project is my version of the project that<a href="http://deedeecatron.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Deedee Catron</a> created in the workshop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our styles are pretty different, Deedee prefers neutral colors and I prefer bright bold colors, so mine is nothing like hers, it still turned out pretty awesome.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Needless to say, I think you should definitely take this class!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other five artists were also very inspiring, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so you will probably see some more projects inspired by this class.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently I took a course by <a href="http://thicketworks.com/" target="_blank">Heather Tracy</a> over at <a href="http://thegraphicsfairy.com/" target="_blank">The graphics fairy</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this course called Mixed media for beginners is packed full of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
inspiration and super awesome tips too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here I am working on my project inspired by this incredible course,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I decided that what my projects needs is rusty pipes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
yup</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you read that right, RUSTY PIPES!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I start digging around in my stash trying to figure out something that</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
looks like a pipe, but is light enough to not add extra weight and bulk to my project.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
digging,thinking.......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then I see this</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
yup, that a bendable soda straw! so first I try to just paint the straw black and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
go from there, but this didn't work all that great. the straw was </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
too flimsy and didn't hold the paint, and didn't like any </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of the glues that I tried to use.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
its pretty awesome. I started with the straw, I wanted to be able to make pipes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with multiple turns and bends. so I cut two straws and put them together like this</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<p style="text-align: center;">I had surgery a few weeks ago, and it is taking a long time to heal, so I haven't been able to create much. :(</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">So I thought I would post a few photos of some of my art journal </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">pages to tide you over. Some of these have been published, some of them haven't. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Now, I consider this art journal to be a place to play, a way to experiment and just relax with my supplies.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> So I don't always finish the pages, and sometimes I just use it to learn a new technique. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">So anyways here are some of my faves:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This first one was created on a happy day obviously lol</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I just had fun spraying some yummy colors and playing with my Stencilgirl stencils.</p>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here, I was working on another project and had some ink left over on a stencil</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It was so pretty that I didn't want to waste it, so I opened them book and smashed the stencil in</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is what I got..lol</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I liked it so much, that I can't decided if I should do more or </div>

<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This past month, a bunch of artists collaborated together. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">You see this incredible artist named Tina Walker had this great idea, </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and with some help from <a href="http://www.beaconadhesives.com/" target="_blank">Beacon adhesives</a>, <a href="http://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/Default.asp" target="_blank">StencilGirl products</a> and <a href="http://www.moldputty.com/" target="_blank">Amazing casting products </a>, </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">she put together some cute little kits and sent them to a BUNCH of artists</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We all started with the same kit, with just a few differences. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">They looked something like this:</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOPqX2-I0_0lLbPQwPcR0PnTIYKNhui3XDahcvcrlaMBL2E1LyKNwB-OmD7Wuant_ZVcv0tCWJ2804WPch_bRqztpyAADjRH6AiL4Z05SpbiUBy0N1bsX0LYoEArG5MTKqmH_QET9KMKCI/"><img title="He" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOPqX2-I0_0lLbPQwPcR0PnTIYKNhui3XDahcvcrlaMBL2E1LyKNwB-OmD7Wuant_ZVcv0tCWJ2804WPch_bRqztpyAADjRH6AiL4Z05SpbiUBy0N1bsX0LYoEArG5MTKqmH_QET9KMKCI/" alt="" width="500" height="697" data-json="" /></a></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">So everyone took the same supplies and made their own art with it. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Here is my art. </p>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I was kinda stuck at first, but I eventually got in the groove, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and I am very pleased with the end result!</div>

They met when Teapot Sally came to the emerald city looking for love, she just new that she would be able to find love in the Emerald city, and she did! The second she looked into the Tinmans eyes, she fell madly, deeply in love and eventually they made Galena Ruby.
The Tin man was so worried that his brand new daughter would be born without a heart,but she was born with a sparkling beautiful heart! She will live in the magical land of Oz, and meet all the magical creatures!
Sighhhhh..... Ok, I admit I am madly in love with her.
She came to me in my sleep and said.... "Make me"!

I started with a vintage teapot, and a doll , both from goodwill. (I shop there all the time for art supplies)

Dissect the baby doll, removing her arms, legs and head(not recommended if you have small children.... Might be traumatizing..lol)
I tried so many different glues to stick the baby parts to the silver... Got very frustrated... Threw the whole thing aside and said ugly words..... The I got a bright idea!
APOXIE SCULPT!! This stuff sticks to anything!!
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuhLApxaBUNNV3x0GFpBSAEQcIyUF5etUWItcLCrobhQCnhiO-dci8yxtZiRTEL8crZuV-IaEN6G8xRq2yCr3oWDtRQx7RrhPWAMi26hFiWdvg0qZf3nXKIRtRs9POyJmguRJr1Cd-el3d/"><img title="UU" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuhLApxaBUNNV3x0GFpBSAEQcIyUF5etUWItcLCrobhQCnhiO-dci8yxtZiRTEL8crZuV-IaEN6G8xRq2yCr3oWDtRQx7RrhPWAMi26hFiWdvg0qZf3nXKIRtRs9POyJmguRJr1Cd-el3d/" alt="" width="500" height="281" data-json="{\"requiresResize\":true}" /></a></div>
So I made some APOXIE SCULPT strips and used those as my "glue".
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD6wIktZhQoSuF8QctnZwLw6qdaarpKef-ZsEqbNsYq1rhGECqrnSxqiEDd-FdP6ZURtkhVI_WAl286ocDvwpV2WoflOzrD128KKJnrOvHE80hBS-pkiCs6RNTkd63JQJ4f5eCvz7WUOsP/"><img title="UU" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD6wIktZhQoSuF8QctnZwLw6qdaarpKef-ZsEqbNsYq1rhGECqrnSxqiEDd-FdP6ZURtkhVI_WAl286ocDvwpV2WoflOzrD128KKJnrOvHE80hBS-pkiCs6RNTkd63JQJ4f5eCvz7WUOsP/" alt="" width="421" height="750" data-json="{\"requiresResize\":true}" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used APOXIE sculpt to adhere the top of the teapot to the head.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ok, now how are we gonna get the head on there, if we just place it on top of the teapot, it sinks in and disappears.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, I went to my "stockpile" of bottles with cool shapes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I pulled out a crystal light container and placed that inside the teapot to take up space, but it wasn't high enough yet, so I trimmed a shampoo bottle and used that as my neck. I used APOXIE sculpt to create a neck and used a Phillips head screwdriver to make marks in the clay. I later changed my mind and added "Lacey metal" on top of the clay.</div>

Here's where I lost patience, APOXIE sculpt is great stuff, but it needs time to do its thing, in other words, I had to walk away for a while. As you can see by this photo, while applying her head, I knocked her arm off..... Yea, I have ZERO patience!

I also used the APOXIE sculpt to adhere the Relics and Artifacts heart to the front of the teapot. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">While the clay was still wet, I embedded the gears that hold her heart in place into the clay.
</div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">At this point I got carried away in the creative process and for got to take photos, BUT I painted her silver, waited for that to dry, then added Ten Second Studios "Verday paints".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next I painted and glittered her heart, and her Relics and artifacts "oil drop" jewel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Waaaaaalaaaa!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A magical creature was born, right on my desk!</div>

Hi everyone! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
WELCOME TO THE AUGUST <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/">HEARTFELT CREATIONS</a> ALUMNI BLOG HOP!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I want to share a project using some goodies from <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/">Heartfelt Creations </a> creations!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am a member of the Alumni design team, and today we are hopping along with some of the other Alumni!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used some Heartfelt creations paper, dies and stamps that match the dies to create this scrapbook page...... Wait....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
WHAT????</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yep! I went back to my roots and used my long loved <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/">Heartfelt Creations </a> goodies, to create a scrapbook page!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And guess what, I am still madly in love with them! :)</div>
