coaster art...

I had a round coaster and decided that it needed to be altered into a lily pad...painted up the dragonfly and used string for the vine and card stock for the leaves...I sent it in for a submission but it did not make the cut...However...I LIKE IT!
Enjoy!

Slip Into Something Creative!

Now as everyone knows my MUSE always knows when the deadlines are for submissions, but alas, there is no telling her what to do or when to do it!! Today, I must get this out into the mail in order for it to reach the submission jury on time. The challenge was to alter a article of lingerie that you would normally wear under clothing...but this could be worn as outer clothing! So my MUSE choose a slip...Jackson Pollack style with a twist!! I had great fun with my MUSE staying up till all hours of the night to finish it in time to mail! The photos are not that great, but I can't wait for its return to be able to wear it! Go ahead, make something that you can slip into to show your artful talents! (black slip..acrylic paints...primed canvas...eyelash fiber...beads...ribbon)

IT IS NOT TO LATE!!

It is not to late...You still have time!...Go ahead and head on over to see Monica...and sign up to do a small 2 by 2 piece of cloth art....Now, I do not sew...but I put this one together during the football game today....And I will be sending it out tomorrow...Just took a moment..but what a wonderful feeling to be part of something bigger than my small world...to help to find a cure!!
Go ahead...BE A PINK ARTIST!!!!!!!!!! You'll be glad you did!!

Christopher's Step Stool...

I finally finished this step stool...but it took a bit of time to finally take a few photo's of it!
The title of this stool is....BE HAPPY! And it makes me happy just looking at it...It will be
going to Baltimore and I am so excited for this to finally reach its destination... Christopher
won't be using this for a while...but it will be a fine addition to his room till he is ready! I love making items for KIDS, probably because I am a kid at heart! I love the bright colors and the fact that I can make mice red if I want! NOW...on to the next BIG THING!! Furniture is so much fun!! TRY IT...YOU JUST MIGHT LIKE IT!

Altered Couture

I am having a delicious day even with the snow falling outside (mind you I would rather be where the sun is warm and shiny and the beach is before me! Like at Debs house!! LOL) I have just received GREAT news that my altered raincoat and umbrella will be featured in Altered Couture in the May issue! I couldn't be happier!! Altering clothing is a new way for me to expose my art and I am having great fun with it....This is a wonderful community of talented artists and I am honored!! So watch for the magazine in May....I still have to write an 800 word article to go with it...But, I am looking forward to sharing how to do this and add a sense of humor and creativity to that part of the process.....
Doing the happy dance!!
Artfully Yours,
Pattie
PS: You'll have to wait till the magazine comes out to view it!!
