Today's Daily Art/Challenges

I found two new (to me) challenge blogs so I combined the challenges for them in one of the pieces I did today.

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.

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!

Sunday's Daily Art/Challenges

Created By Hand Tuesday (2/26)--Bunny Template(http://createdbyhandchallenge.wordpress.com/)
I used paper I made for last week's glossy paper challenge and then I used heart scrim as a stencil with chalk ink and added embellishments.
Haven't decided what I'm doing with my bunny yet...will either add it to a card or make an ornament. Any suggestions?


Gothic Arch Sunday--Using Trash (http://gothicarches.wordpress.com/)
I used the lid from a containter of orange juice concentrate as a frame and the gorgeous woman within it is my Mom. Va va va vooooooooooom!!



I have been deeply inspired by my darling girl Tam, Suzi Blu and TimewithTascha, that I have finally kicked fear to the curb and tried my hand at painting. Not completely wild about the background, which turned kind of murky from layers of paint and being too impatient to wait for the paint to try thoroughly, but I do like my girl. It took me forever to get her face to come out looking normal and not grotesquely deformed. And yes, she's leaning waaaaaaaaaaaay to the side. I guess that comes from my own off-balanced, skewed view of life. Ha. I think I'll be making more of these little paintings, though I think until I am used to it, I'll stick with watercolor paper and saves the canvases for other artwork.

4x5 stretched canvas, edges yet to be finished.

Friday's Daily Art/Challenges

Alcohol Inks on glossy paper (I used glossy photo paper I got at the dollar store~LOVE this paper! I have used the Ranger glossy paper in the past and totally hated how the backgrounds turned out. More expensive is not always better!)
