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.

I've really been busy.  I made several sets of inchies as well as this Monday Inchie but I haven't had time to post them.  Soon.....

Easter Monday Inchie

The theme for this week is JOY.  A happy baby under a sky of fireworks came to mind and that's what I tried to make.

Every Inchi Monday - JOY

I hope everyone had a joyous Easter.  May blessings be yours all year.

This Week's Monday Inchie

Things have been very busy for me, in a good way.  I'm still making inchies but I haven't had time to photograph them and post.  Here's this week's inchie for Every Inchie Monday.  Other stuff will be posted later.

A Fun Weekend

Allentown was visited by a Rubber Stamp & Paper Show this weekend.  Wonderful things to see (and buy)!  I learned some wonderful techniques at the Stampland booth.  I'll describe more later. 
Here is my completed inchie for this Monday's theme: PEACE.

A New Week - New Inchies

The snow never came (thank goodness) but a lot of rain did.  It is April after all.

For this Every Inchie Monday the theme is 'sing' and the image I thought of right away was 'singing in the rain' so I found the perfect image online.


Every Inchie Monday - Sing
 
For this swap the challenge is to use only newspaper.
I cut out the black section of a big page add to make
the fan elements.

This swap theme is 'blue' so I dug through my
stamps again.

The actual swapping is getting closer.  I can't wait to enjoy the creative efforts of others in my group.

When the weather is bad - make inchies!

Tomorrow is April 1 and they are predicting snow.  It looks like I'll have a day to make more inchies.  Here are my recent additions:
Every Inchie Monday - Winged


These are for a swap - technique of choice
I really enjoy layered collage.


Swap theme - Birds (obviously)


Swap theme - Torn Paper
Here's my trio of pairs, again.

I did these just for fun using heat embossing
and watercolors.

I think this catches me up for now.  Some
ideas are floating around to play with later.
Think spring!

Here I Go Again

Wow! I've done a lot since I last posted.  It was a lot of fun, too.  Here are the fruits of my efforts.

This inchie is for a swap - technique of my choice - Watercolors

I had fun doodling during a TV show with this one.

What if there were a mermaid theme?

The theme for this swap is Africa.  I like to create similar pairs
with different aspects of the same theme.
Every Inchie Monday - Rhythm



A swap theme - Circles


Just for fun - Ladies


Another swap theme - Orange


This swap theme was for technique of choice.  I used
heat embossing with watercolors.


This swap theme is Vintage.

This swap theme is Food.  I decided to depict 2 meals,
before and after, in my six inchies.

As you can see I've been busy.  Being creative keeps me alive and happy and this is certainly doing that.
