Wednesday - Art Table Fun

Some of the fun about not really planning is the fact that some times unexpected things happen at the art table.

This week I am still working on the 30 day project. I'm not really doing them daily as I thought I would but I'm still doing them.

This prompt was "doodle faces". I'm really not sure I did a great job but I enjoyed making them.

 I'm still working on cards. I'd love to find a theme and just create about 20 of them but every day I find something different to try. And get maybe two made. That's a good thing too because I'm still learning what I like to do and "go with the flow" often.

I used the Farmer's Almanac for this one along with a circle cut out of a magazine, some Washi tape, espresso paper and gold circles from an old greeting card. And of course stencils and a great quote.

 

One of the painted papers was hung on the wall recently. I was going to embellish this as I usually do but when I looked at it, I just liked it as is. It is part of the grouping I did gluing all the papers together in one sheet and cutting them down. This came from that and I love it. That was a huge surprise!

 And I'm working on the layering technique I love to do on 3 pieces. They are not yet finished. I'll share them on Friday or when they are if I don't get back to them right away.

Mosaic Monday - Blast From The Past

Recently, I took a look at some of the really old mosaics I've made. I share a lot from my walls that aren't available to purchase. After looking at these old photos, I thought I'd do a post about a few of them.

Here they are in no particular order. Enjoy some "eye candy" in mosaic form!

Cuppa Peace circa 2017

 

Bohemian Sky circa 2017

Table circa 2016

Coaster Sets circa 2017

Crescent Moon circa 2018

These are examples of both pique assiette and stained glass mosaics. This is just a small sample of what I've made over the years. Four out of five were sold; the table was lost in transit when I moved that year. I'm grateful to still have photos of them all!

Enjoy the journey.

Wednesday - Art Table Fun

Actually, truthfully, there isn't a whole lot on the art table this week. Well, there IS, but there isn't. I should clarify that a bit.

I'm in organizing mode, something I do often, about three times a month, to keep my space(s) from getting overly cluttered. I like some clutter, I actually don't like it when everything is put away. I have to see things and then use them. So there IS a whole lot going on, on that table. I do this when I start to organize, putting everything on the table to sort later. And sometimes I stop organizing, make a card or an art journal page or the beginning of one, and then continue.

So, here's why I said that above ... this is the art table as of yesterday ... messy? Maybe. I see lots of creating happening here from painted papers to doodles to making cards. AND I see much needs to be sorted. That shows I've been busy!

A few cards were made. Shown here are two sides of one card.

Here's a WIP.

I have been cutting up cardboard, using some for words, alpha letters, photos for stickers. Some for collage cards. The rest are cut up to be used to paint on with acrylics and probably some of those will be used for collage as well. It takes time and lots of cutting to do this and it's very worth it because I just need to keep myself in paint and not buy canvases right now. I will again at some point purchase canvases but right now I want to use what I have, as I've said often. I have a LOT of cardboard and bags.

All sizes and thicknesses which means some will be great to paint on, some not so much. Those I'll use in some way because I don't throw much away. All free to use and experiment with.

I made some book covers and will fill them with handmade signatures using packaging mostly from Amazon.

 

To show what I mean, I made a book using the brown packaging a while ago. It's not yet finished but this is what it looks like so far.

Only a few more pages to go to get it finished. The size is a little under 5 x 6 inches. The order is wrong, but all pages made so far are there.

 

 

Enjoy the journey.

Mosaic Monday - Three Trees Holiday Vase

Say what you might, but doing some shopping now might save headaches later. Take a look at this beauty!

The website shows one shot of the vase but here are a few photos below to see all sides because all three trees are different.

This beautiful Three Tree Mosaic Vase is a unique and versatile piece that adds warmth and meaning to any space.

Friday - Bits and Pieces

It's now Friday and I'm not really sure I have enough to share in a post, but I'll try.

How about our lovely wild rose bush that has bloomed many times over the past 6 months or so?! It's still hanging in there! 

 

I clipped a few and added them to my flowers from my birthday which are fading as well but not yet gone!

 Now as far as the art table goes and what's been done; I think I have a few things to show.

This is one of the watercolor pages I shared on Wednesday. Following the flow of the color, more or less, I found this to look Industrial.

Cutting it up made me decide to use the bottom right as a fireplace or something relating to glass-blowing or an oven of some sort. The top right looks like it could be the outside of a building or an amphitheater maybe ... an entrance to a building for sure. And the smaller strips on the left could be wires and a building. I'll do some playing with these when the energy permits.

 

Someone in a reel somewhere shared taping up a page and doodling small designs within the tape. I had painters tape handy and did use it for this. I also have Washi tape so I'll try using some of that as well. Makes me feel accomplished without overtaxing my brain on low energy days!

This is the collage art book I started in August. There's only a few pages in it so far. I'm okay with that, I allow myself to be pulled toward what I feel. Often it's cards or the painted papers. In any case, I am going to try to use these strips for the top one as well in a different design. I'm thinking vertical since many on the bottom are horizontal.

If the mosaic muse wakes from her nap soon, I'll probably do a little more on the mosaic panels. I'm about half way finished. Yay!

 

Enjoy the journey.

Wednesday - Art Table Fun

The most fun this week so far was taking naps, so there's not a whole lot going on at the art tables this week. My mojo has disappeared and taken energy with it. It's an ebb time for me. No worries, the flow will return soon.

I know I have to try to do something every day, no matter if it's for 5 minutes or 5 hours and so, here's how it's gone so far.

This is the back of a grocery receipt. Pretty nifty, if I do say so myself.

I used part of the receipt for the back of a card.

Here's the front of the card. Again, I say pretty nifty, huh, knowing it's just a piece of cardboard cut from a food box.

Painted paper embellishments before cutting it into pieces. If you notice, the bottom left flower was used in the card above.

2 of the painted papers I've embellished recently. The one above is my favorite. I'm not sure I even took a photo of the other one before cutting it. But it'll get used!

An entry in the collage practice book. Really love this. I drew a pumpkin then didn't like it so I covered it with deli paper. You can see still the drawing but it's just a shadow and that's fine with me.

Yesterday was a water color day. I love using watercolor paper but it's very thick compared to the other papers I use and harder to use with a glue stick and with liquid medium. I might not have the patience for it but I'll cut it up after doing some doodles and ?? TBD

Finally got the other two celestial designs placed in the proper place on the wall. The are top far left and top far right.

 

Enjoy the journey.
