New kitty

Here is my new kitty I made with a ton of mixed media. I love Shiva Paintstiks...they are AWESOME!!!!! I think this weekend I will try another with encaustic.

Another kitty

I had a wonderful time creating this little kitty. I am struggling with paper mache a little bit so I switched to paper clay and I love it!!

Horray for Encaustic!

Here are a few of my encaustic projects. Its a lot of fun!! I am going to add another layer of wax on the larger one and maybe try some oil paints.

Trying to be creative today

Work in progress...birdie collage

Ugh. I hate the seam, but I will keep working on this. I just started working with watercolor pencils again, and I had forgotten how much fun they are!!

Lil' green guy with ear wings

Orange fuzzy ears

I am loving paper mache with a bit of paper collage. I decided to keep his ears fuzzy. I have more work to do...gotta figure out what to do with his eyes.

My next step

The paper mache is done! I did a little mouse, but I'm not sure his ears are going to stick. hmf...Now I have to be patient and wait for it to dry.....

My constant companion in the studio

The fist stage of my pumpkin

I am continuing to practice with paper mache. Here is the first step...

My inspiration continues...

I did some sketches last night and started my armatures using styrofoam. Now off to start the paperclay and choosing a color palette. That is the hardest part!! Glenner, help!!!!

I am feeling very inspired

One thing I love about Facebook is all the artistic talent. Being inspired day after day by all the amazing people who share their work on the site make me want to craft, craft and craft!!! I am going to experiment more with paperclay and some amazing metallic paint I bought. YAY for the weekend!!!

My first attempt at collage

I never really thought much of collage until i started getting 'Studios' magazine. (best magazine ever!!) After reading the artists' profiles I wanted to try it for myself. Of course I need a ton of practice, but I'm having fun so far!!

My little fishy...
