While looking for challenges I decided to do some t-shirts! The challenge here was to use stencils and letters...Rather than just do that all over the shirt, I decided to put my spin on it!! LOL ...Like I always do! So, I painted some canvas, cut it out, stenciled words and sewed them all on by hand...added some beads...and there you have it!! One of a kind ART t-shirts!!
I posted this on my other site, but really it belongs here...I will post again when I frame it and hopefully the lighting will be better...The shadow on the left side makes it look dark, but it really isn't!! The weather is getting better here so I should be able to take it outside and photograph it.
The completion of another swap....This one had to do with 30 seed packets which were photo copied and made into ATC cards. I hand sewed the flowers and beaded the center, added green leaves and curly fabric coated wire...Added the little charms and the BLOOM on the bottom with brads. On the back I placed a little envelope with all the seeds and that says GROW. I will place each ATC in the packet and then tie it with a ribbon....And off they GO to Colorado where the hostess will swap them out and I will get 30 of them back...It is going to be FUN to see what everyone else does. Again let me state that this is just my second attempt at ATC's and I am not really sure what they are all about, but this was what my creative mind saw when I looked at the package....ENJOY! Oh and don't you just love the glitter!!
These are ready to go! Again feeling a little like a fish out of water I altered! BUT I painted too!
This is a painting that is now on its way to Tennessee for an auction to benefit A PLACE TO BARK...This is a wonderful woman, named Bernie Berlin, who recues animals with abandon!
This is a paper doll that I made awhile ago, but thought I would share her here! I did her for a magazine, but alas, fear over took me and I did not send her in! So she sits in my studio with her glitter dust, her affirmation cards and reminds me that fear will not get me anywhere, but BELIEVING will!! So perhaps that is what she was all about... Anyhow, she is made out of 4 ply card stock, and is jointed at the arms...Her bodice is torn paper and her dress and hat are cloth. She is painted with acrylic paint, and is adorn with beads, and a small bag of glitter with a wish stone inside, a twisted heart, earrings, and affirmation cards....She holds a small jeweled charm in her hand..Striped legs and red glittery shoes! I still love her!! Hope you enjoy her as much as I do!!
