Art, craft and color stories from Portland, OR
Hello again! I’m back for Glue it Tuesday with a collage that’s been coming together on my desk for the past couple of weeks. I took the cover of one of our weekly newspapers and have been cutting all of the solid bits out of it and sticking a few pieces down here and there. […]
Last month’s daily pattern challenge turned out to be not so daily. I don’t think I made it beyond the second week. I was trying to make all of my patterns out of stencils, and it wasn’t working for me. I should have switched over to using something else to create my patterns, but instead […]
Aimee at Artsyville has started a new Tuesday prompt called Glue it Tuesday! When she announced it last week I was super excited because it’s been a long while since I’ve done any collage work. I had a couple of misaligned prints from my reduction linocut project, so I decided to reuse the bad prints […]
Today’s List it Tuesday topic at Artsyville is Collections. My sister would probably laugh at this, but I don’t consider myself a person who intentionally keeps a lot of collections. Unintentionally? Oh yes, that I do. Magazines, paint brushes, blank journals, yarn and art books are just a few. After thinking about it for a […]
Today’s List it Tuesday topic at Artsyville is Culinary Traditions. Though I tried, my cultural heritage is a mixed vague jumble, and I come from a line of women who cooked from boxes and cans. I had little to contribute in the way of sketching for that topic, but I do have two little stories. […]
I’m excited for the return of List it Tuesday at Artsyville this week! The topic this week is: What’s New? Here’s a quick list of things that are new in my world these days. 01. No more soda. One of only two true resolutions this year. Last year I gave up diet soda, and this […]
I was excited to finish my last daily December pattern a little after midnight last night! I’m happy to report that I only missed one day (Christmas), but that I made it up the following day and kept going. I’ve posted a few of my patterns from this month below. If you’d like to see […]
I’ve read my fair share of books on the creative process. Most of these books recommend a daily creative practice. Despite identifying as a creative person/artist for over ten years, I’ve never been able to make the commitment to a daily creative action. I always had an excuse. I have no time. I’m no good. […]
Oh, hello! It’s been awhile. I have started a new December daily pattern challenge. I’m working in a Moleskine Pocket Watercolor Book. On the odd days, I am putting down two rectangles of watercolor paint, and then I am drawing over one a day with (my very favorite!!) Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pens. I decided to […]
The List it Tuesday topic at Artsyville this week is Been There, Done That. I love this topic, and had fun thinking back over the fun things I’ve done over the years. Most of the big ones related to travel, which reinforced for me where my heart is at. Click the image to see the […]
