I'm still kickin'

It's been a very long time since I posted anything but I have been creating and I thought it was about time I got my act together and shared a little of what I've been up to.

I have been working on a few things to offer as a giveaway here on the blog.  I will post some pics of the prizes in a few days. Anyone who is a follower of my blog will be eligible to win one of three prizes...so tell your friends and let me know who you invited! If your friend(s) becomes a follower, you will be entered twice for the drawings. Once for being a follower and once for inviting a friend. The more friends you invite (that become followers) the more chances you'll have to win!!

I've also been thinking about organizing an Art Doll swap.  If you are interested in joining in please leave a comment and let me know! I think we should have at least 3 participants.  A 6 - 7 inch doll in an altered art style is what I have in mind

Here are few pics of my recent Art Journal pages.

These first pages are in a 9" x 12" Canson mixed media journal. The face is a "paint over" using Prismacolor colored pencils. They work great for coloring over magazine images! No gesso needed!!!

 I turned 50 in March and these pages were done on my birthday.  This one says "50 is the new 29"

 Hubs bought me some Brera Acrylic paints for my birthday and I just had to try them out.  The top one was done on a wet page and the next one was done on a dry page.  Love the vibrant colors!!!

This one is in my Teesha Moore inspired journal.  It's a handmade journal with a watercolor type paper.  The face on this one was done with the Prismacolor colored pencils as well.

That's it for now. Thank you for stopping by!!!

Free for personal use - Pass it on!

I just got finished with this lovely 4" x 6" colored pencil drawing and decided that I would like to share it with you all!!!  Please feel free to download the image. My hope is that you will share it with someone who might need cheering up or just needs a reminder that they are beautiful.  We are living in some very though times for a lot of people and I think we can all do just a little to brighten the day of someone who is down!  Please don't sell the image in any way!  The purpose is to spread love and joy.  If we all work together and have faith in ourselves and each other...WE CAN HELP TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE!!!

MUCH LOVE, Teresa

 

Bonny Blooms

Just wanted to stop by and share a few pics of some ATCs I've created lately.  I love making these flowers and sharing them with my flickr friends!!!  I've also made some 5" x 7" pieces that are available in my Etsy shop.  Let me know what you think of the name.  I named them "Bonny" because it just seems to say what I see in them. (pretty, cheerful glow, pleasant}  An ATC size takes about an hour and a half to create.  There are many layers of Prismacolor  colored pencils to get the shading and richness of color that I love.

I've also been working on some acrylic paintings.  I painted Hubs an abstract guitar for Valentines day and I have a whimsical painting in the works.  If I get brave enough, I'll take some photos and post them when the painting is done.  Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoy looking at the ATCs 

Made some time to play today!!!

YAY!!!!  I finally made some time for my art!   Spent the morning and early afternoon in my studio flinging paint and having a great time  Here's what I created...16" x 20" Acrylic painting.  I call it Beyond.

Change of plans.

As my last post stated, I had intended on taking Darcy's Post Card challenge for 2012.  Well, I have gone back to work and now I will just be following everyone else to see what they are writing and creating.  I did get the folder/book made and I will still fill it with all kinds of goodies but I won't have the time to write a story and keep up with creating a post card each week.  I am looking forward to filling the book though.  I'm sure to be back at my regular pace soon!  Here's a pic of the book and a couple of pics of a mini album that I made for a trade.
