Welcome

You are invited to share with me the Joy there is in creating Art. I mean the "I can do it" and "it's fun" and "it's beautiful" kind of art, whether it is "museum quality" or not. Here you will find some of what I like to do and, I hope, share some of your joy, too.

Welcome to my blog, Rae Ann.

New projects for Paperfollies

I've joined the Yahoo group, Paperfollies, and I've been very busy.  They do a variety of very clever projects in the same styles used on inchies:  ATC's, cards, altered art, etc.  Here are some of my recent masterpieces.



House - 5x7 - Paperfollies project May 2011
This house was a lot of fun to do.  I created a "wordle" on line related to the types of art I do.  My face is peeking through the window and my cat is below it, in the corner.  The decorative circle is a painted button.

This project, called Foil Mail, was fun, too.  I hadn't seen this technique in a long time.

I don't usually make cards so it was a nice change to give it a try.

For the mosaic challenge I tried to use a technique called faux-mosaic that I learned about on-line.  It didn't come out like the example but I like the look.  It reminds me of mosaics found at ancient sites, like Pompeii.




And last, but not least, the ATC's - a pair of Graffitti and a pair of Zetti style.



I HAVE been busy --- HAVING FUN!

My Wordle

I know something wasn't done correctly but by using the link, my art wordle, below, you can see the word cloud I made from words that describe the art I do.

Busy with Inchies!

I've done a lot more inchies than I've posted recently.  I like to share some of them.

Every Inchie Monday - Pink
The background is made with a soft rose ink pad so it's not a "pinky" pink.
One of my upcoming swaps calls for inchie envelopes:

These were fun to make.

I've also been playing with shades of one color by layering shading and stamping.  Here are red, brown, pink, and blue.





I tried a new technique which I found at Go Make Something.  It's Iris pattern #1; I made it into a twinchie.


With the scraps from this I made backgrounds for these:


That's all for today, although I have even more that I haven't posted.  Have a great day.
