Gnostraeh at LJ!

Thank you...

2009-02-09T14:22:00.002-05:00

to everyone that commented on my OWOH giveaway, but especially for those who showed concern for my health.

I got my diagnosis on January 30th and have been processsing the fact that I do have Fibromyalgia. I did the routine blood work and x-rays to rule out anything else, but from what I know about the condition from friends who have it, it wasn't too much of a surprise. It is nice to know that I'm not as crazy as I was feeling. Now I can get the help I need and move on with my life and hopefully get back into creating my art on a somewhat more regular basis. The last 6+ months have been hard with the job change and the fibro flareups becoming more frequent and intense, but I am able to see the light at the end of the tunnel now.

Anyway, thank you all for making this year's event an amazing one for me. I never thought I would receive so many comments on my giveaway, especially since I hadn't even made my prize yet. One journal is completed, but I haven't been able to take pictures of it yet because my camera is on the fritz and I have yet to make a second one, so the 2nd and possibly third prizes will be something that I already made and most likely something that you've seen in my journal.

Thanks to all 400 of you wonderful people!!

One World~One Heart

It's that artfully AMAZING time of the year again...One World~One Heart!! I participated last year and discovered so many incredibly talented and generous artists from around the world. The blog candy is just...WOW! Click on the above linkie for a list of the participants and check back often as more blogs will be added to the list as the event goes on.

I've been running behind and have yet to make my giveaway(s) because of health issues and trying to get a diagnosis, but there will be one and possible two or three depending on how many comments I get. Please check out my blog so you get an idea of what kind of work I do and if you like my style. I do plan on making at least 2 smallish art journals, approx. 4x6", made with 140 lb. watercolor paper, hand-bound and covered with scrapbook paper and other embellies.

Anyone with or without a blog can enter my giveaway, just please leave a way I can contact you if you're a winner. OWOH starts today, January 19th and ends of February 12the when I announce the winner(s).

Now get thee to the OWOH homepage and start checking out the other participants!! You won't regret it...unless you don't!

Have a great day and be artful!

Tag You're It--No Stamping Allowed (http://weekendtaggers.blogspot.com/) and Lots to do Challenges--Dragons (http://lotstodocallenges.blogspot.com/)
The background is Ranger Alcohol Inks on dollar store glossy photo paper, dragon image is from Dover colored with pecils and the ribbon is from the scrap bin at Wal-mart. Oh and "Myth and Reality" was from a scrap of text from a book that I came across while looking for something else.

Gothic Arches Sunday--My Doll and Me (http://gothicarches.wordpress.com/)

Cowboy card I made for Mary Lynn's (http://colormary.blogspot.com/)brother, Charles. If you have a chance, please be an Angel and stop by Mary Lynn's blog and read about Charles and take the time to make a card to send him. You'll make a lot of people smile by doing so. Thanks!

Step Outside Your Box Saturdays--Color Your Wold...Differently (http://stepoutsideyourboxsaturdays.wordpress.com/)
The purpose of this challenge was to use colors that you wouldn't normally work with, which was a challenge for me because I've worked with everything from pastels to brights to earthtones and a combination of all three. While going through my scrapbook paper I came across a combo of colors that I would never have thought to put together, let alone use...so I did. I'm happy with the results.

http://wednesdaystamper.wordpress.com/
I didn't have a tree stamp but I did have a tree image from a collage sheet, and had one rubber stamp at work to make the background more interesting. Really thought I ruined the background using black ink on a buttery yellow paper, but I smeared it with blue chalk ink and quickly grew to love this piece.

I did my first challenge piece for Rainbow Lady's Challenge Blog (http://rainbowladyschallengeblog.blogspot.com/). The theme of this challenge is called Big Tree, Little Tree and we have to make a Christmas card using this theme. I'm really happy how it turned out and will definitely keep this style in mind when I make my cards after Thanksgiving.

Step Outside Your Box Saturdays--Photo Transfers (http://stepoutsideyourboxsaturdays.wordpress.com/)
The first photo transfer I did with gel medium. Came out beautifully! Background is done with oil pastels.

The skinny page transfer was inspired by Claudine Hellmuth's Ranger Paint Dabber transfer technique, MINUS the Ranger Paint Dabber. I used regular ol' acrylic craft paint. It did not come out beautifully, but I do like how it turned out. I don't know if I used too much or too little paint, but I do know I didn't wait long enough for it to dry. As you can see, a big blob of her arm is missing and part of her dress on the left side, but I like the aged, worn out look of it. Text papers were aged with Antique Linen and Walnut stain Distress Ink and I smeared on some metallic pigment ink over that.

Skinny Saturday--Be Inspired (http://sarahsskinnysaturdaychallenge.wordpress.com/)
Skinny page/ATC

After 2 weeks of futzing around, I finally finished this lil fabric collage.

I orginally started it for a challenge at...heh, can't remember where, but you couldn't use conventional ways to add color to your work. The background fabric was dyed with regular Lipton's tea, the "grass" was dyed with green tea and the fabric for the cat was dyed with raspberry tea. I'm slow and not very good with a needle and thread, but I do enjoy the process and find it very calming.

Created By Hand Challenge--Spritz, Spray and/or Splatter(3-4-08)
(http://createdbyhandchallenge.wordpress.com/)
Lets see...I sprayed the tag with Walnut Ink and splattered Twinkling H2Os in 3 colors and metallic pens in silver and copper. The scrap of music sheet was already splattered with a lighter color but I added walnut ink to darken it a bit.

Been formulating my own brand of color mists in my head since this challenge came out, since buying any is totally out of the question for the time being. It's still in my head until I get to the store to buy little spray bottles and few other relatively cheap supplies. I can't wait to experiment next weekend!
