I recently had multiple screen prints of one of my black and white drawings printed onto damask fabric by KenzieArt in Phoenixville, PA.
Thrift stores always have an ongoing supply of porcelain dolls that are fussy dressed and nobody seems to want them. For years I've been trying to think of a way to use them. I recently purchased one and made the transformation.
Where she ended
This will be delicious and alot of fun! I can't wait to conduct this collage activity.
Dolores is asking for RSVPs to get an idea of how much food she needs to make.
I will be supplying a myriad of inspiring materials (4 matchboxes per participant, templates and decorative papers for box exterior plus various colored/metallic card stock for the accordion messages inside, tiny vintage and other images, sparkly rhinestones, heart and other stickers, markers, rubber stamps, ribbon, stencils and more).
Once you learn how to make Matchbox Art, including how to securely attach the ribbon to pull the drawer out, you will be able to make them for other occasions too!

Back in the saddle with online classes with Yvettee....this was made into a card with a little matching heart inside and mailed today.
I'm in the middle of a transition lately, pulling my work out of a local gallery .....may start selling directly on Instagram and start hosting private art events at my home/studio....haven't figured it out yet. In the meantime working on the painting class....and getting ready for an annual local rug hooking event.

Finished up Painting with Patterns class, now on to Painting with Color class. I have actually been using my own color combos throughout this class, mainly whatever is on hand. I'm taking the classes to learn techniques that involve painting designs on top of each other.
I opted for this particular second class because of the way the designs blend together in the middle. Here are the first four lessons.....two to a page. These are painted on the back and front of the same 5" x 10" piece of watercolor paper. It will be folded in half for a four sided greeting card, off to a special person, with a little matching painted heart inside..

Finishing up one of these classes from artist Yvette St Amant......getting ready to start another one. A 5" x 5" watercolor sketchbook is recommended for these little paintings but I've been cutting out 5" x 10" pieces of watercolor paper, painting both sides of each side, then folding half to make special greeting cards. I'm also adding a little matching heart to each one, with a personal message on the back of the heart.
