Digital ArT

I used to do all my scrapbooking digitally. I also used to make Publisher newsletters for my girl scout troop. Those were fun times and I had more pics than I could manage : )
Recently thru Ms. Abbie from the Vintage Moth I learned about the wonderful Shadowhouse Creations   , and I've been drawn back to the digital world (Photoshop Elements 6). This afternoon, as my daughter and I walked our little Chihuahua, I took some  marvelous photos after a rainy afternoon. We have so much vegetation around here that it really feels like a jungle... in Texas, LOL.
So I combined a couple of pics with an "overlay" effect and look at the results. My daughter has gorgeous blue eyes that just spark in this pic that she was not happy to pose for : ). The overlay is a picture of the foundation of our house!

Proto-types for Market Dayz!

Hi there, I'm working on making jewelry and totes featuring transfers of my paintings. I'll be posting my "proto-types" as I complete them.

To be honest, I go back and forth. I find myself the happiest when I'm painting. I do enjoy other crafts, like jewelry and collaging. But not anywhere near as much as painting. So I'm also considering just painting my heart's desire and then make several prints to sell at the Market Dayz. I was thinking that jewelry and bags being more practical and affordable would be a good idea to make and sell. But then I think why spend my precious time making bags when I can be painting, who cares about  selling? really. So then why participate in the event if I don't care about selling? ay ay ay.

Your input will be greatly appreciated ♥

I suggest you visit Ms. Abbie from the Vintage Moth , she made four wonderful bookmarks to share, you can download them from her blog (For personal use Only). I LoVe them ♥

Technology!

Last night technology was conspiring against me : )

My camera decided it needed the battery charged, my photo program kept crashing, even my internet connection wasn't cooperating.

I have some pics of the pieces I'm working on for the Market Dayz, I'll post them soon.

Colorful Page

Hola - I made this journal background last night. My family really likes it so I decided to share it with you.

I'm considering making a video of my art journal, once is complete, and if I do I will post it here ♥.

Why am I bloggin' ??

Hello friends!
As you know I started making jewelry about a 18 months ago, and to share pictures I decided to start this blog. And seeing so many amazing artists blew me away. Slowly and strangely I picked up paint brushes and started painting. The jewelry was easy to sell, the paintings? what to do with them? Hmm, don't care. It feels right, just paint, enjoy it. So here I am, but really who really cares about this humble blog?

TEN Followers, thank you Ms. Tina for your interest in my blog. I will try to post more often.

A huge HUG to all my kind followers!! ♥♥
