Mixed Media

  • A Life Lived In Love

    I wanted to create something different that what I have been doing lately. So I dusted off the paint brushes and brought out the acrylic paint, along with other fun stuff – shimmer spray, walnut inks, satin flowers, glitter spray, note cards and Sharpie. I have to say, I loved painting this. Fun colors,…

  • DIY Canvas Quote – Finished

    In the previous blog post – DIY Canvas Quote – Pinterest Pin Project #1 – I just wasn’t happy with the results. Above is the finished piece that I truly love.

  • DIY Canvas Quote – Pinterest Pin Project #1

    So, I have decided to start trying out some the cool things I have been seeing on Pinterest. Project #1: DIY Canvas Quote. Looks simple enough. Right there under the picture were the directions, use re-positionable vinyl letters and paint over. Peel off letters. Oh, I can do that I said. I wanted to…

  • Spreading A LIttle Love

    Spreading A Little Love Just spreading a little love this morning. This is a mixed media piece that I finished up last night. I love the right hues. I wrote the word love over and over again in different languages. The idea popped into my head Friday night and I just had to do…

  • Fish Collage

    Fish Collage

    This collage has been waiting around for years to be finished. I put the fish together and hung it on my bulletin board – where it stayed when we moved to Jeddito back in 1997. When I moved to Phoenix in 2005 it still hung on that same board. Now that I was able…

  • Scrabble Tile Mixed Media Pieces

    What fun I had making these mixed media pieces. I found a bag of cut up irregular shaped squares of fabric and felt in the garage. Who knows how long it was out these, especially since I have no idea what it was originally for. I haven’t even had my sewing machine in years…

  • Distress Crackle Paint

    As I was trying to find things to do in between my kids’ Tae Kwon Do Master Club and Black Belt classes, I ended up at a local scrapbook store. I know surprise. But I actually had not been in the little store for a while. The poor cashier didn’t know what to make…

  • Josh’s Graduation Tag Book

    This was a graduation present from Josh’s co-workers and friends for the end of his high school education in 2010. It’s filled with motivational quotes, photos, personal notes, colors and mixed media. Keep it up Josh – you’re one special person.

  • Art Cards, Editions and Originals (ACEO)

    I’ve wanted to do art cards for years. But for some reason their size was daunting to me. They’re just, so small. The one rules is that they are only 2 1/2″ by 3 1/2″. That’s it. At the time, I worked big. Big oil paintings were my thing, not some tiny piece of…

  • Mixed Media Mini – Time Flies-Enjoy It

    Here’s the next mixed media mini: Time Flies – Enjoy It. Yes it is 3 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ and that is real watch on there. That is one of my non-working watches that I don’t wear anymore, and I recycled onto this piece. I was thinking back at missed times with my family…
