Wednesday's Wishes

If I had a wish that I know would come true, I'd wish for help with all the different things I have to do as a "one woman show".

I'm not crazy about taking photos, get them uploaded on the computer/iPhone, editing, posting. I'd rather just do the art.

However, I know I'm very lucky to be able to do those things, at least to a certain degree, without difficulty. And so very grateful for that knowledge.

Right now, I'm uploading photos into Fine Art America of collage work and doodles. At this writing, only a few of each of those are available for purchase, but it's looking good so far!

Here's the first collage I've posted on this site that is also available through FAA on Pixels (they work together to do some of the printing things like mugs, for instance). It's a definite favorite of mine.

Click on the link under the photo to see the array of goodies you can purchase, as well as prints both framed and unframed. As usual I love the pillow covers, tote bags and mugs the best. They are so cool.

As far as wishes go, I also wish you have an enjoyable Wednesday and your week is going well. We are having a LOT of rain and cold weather here in these early days of June. It's a bit of a bummer to try to function when arthritis doesn't like either of those weather situations however, I'm determined (stubborn) enough to keep on going. It doesn't take a lot of muscles or much strength to make a collage, thank goodness.

Right now, that's where I'm headed ... to make a few collages! Yay!! 

 

Enjoy the journey.

Promo Blast!

I'm giving some love to the Handmade at Amazon site this morning. I made a sale recently, the first on that site! Adding a few other items besides made-to-order mosaics was the right decision and I'm slowly adding more as I get updated photos of my art. It takes time but a good quality photo helps sell my mosaics. Well worth it!

Mosaic Star Jewelry Box And Pendant Set

Mosaic Star Box and Wish Pendant

My mosaic star box called "Wish Upon's" was crafted using all hand cut stained glass in black iridescent glass that shines in the light in a range from yellow to purple and every color in between, just like a rainbow.

It's absolutely beautiful. Grouted in white. The sides of the top and the base are covered in silver mirror cut to fit and grouted in gray.

An acrylic paint is added to the base as well as small felt feet to protect your furniture when placed on a table or dresser. Including with this pretty mosaic box is a tempered glass pendant called "WISH" filled with glitter and sparkle perfect for anyone on your gift list this year.

This pendant comes with a necklace.

This set is so cool. 

Everyone needs to make wishes!

In The Studio - Part One

It's grouting time from "In The Studio". The last mosaic to go into the pile for grouting was the hot air balloon.

Now the process of grouting and cleaning begins. I'm mindful of my limitations physically and have the patience (I can't believe it, but I do!) to only grout one or two mosaics every other day. Cleaning and photographs happen in between.

Celestial Delight - Stars, Moon and Sun

This tray needs a touching up with more grout here and there. Soon to be listed.

Dream Boat Wall Art

I had fun working on the square peace sign. I definitely want to get more of those substrates some day.

Square Peace Sign - retro style mosaic

I've been busy with doodles also. I don't have any photos to share of the newest ones done but I have watercolor drawings, ink doodled Zentangles and some colored marker drawings too. But in the meantime, with much encouragement from a few wonderful online friends, I decided to make up some PDF files of a few of my drawings and sell them online as an instant downloadable coloring page. As time goes on, I'll get better with the photography which will help with the clarity of the PDF files themselves. For now, there are 4 files ready for anyone wanting to color them at an affordable price of $2 each.

Coloring Pages

Stay with me and see how these evolve as the months progress. I'm sure the Camera Goddess will decide to cooperate and allow these to be less grainy. Using the paper I do causes that as well. It's all about the journey. I'm learning constantly.
