I have tackled several types of art projects in the last 6 months. Most recently, I learned to do Acrylic Pouring because my two daughters got all the supplies for me and spent a day with me learning. It was so much fun, mostly because the entire family got involved. So here is the kit and our first pours.<br />

<br /></div>
After a long hiatus of blogging, I am determined to get back into it. I started teaching art at our local Christian school 2 years ago and found it sucked up all my free time. I was only able to manage easy posts onto <a href="https://www.instagram.com/graced_out/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>. I still was making art - although much of it was prepping for classes I was teaching. Fun, but all-consuming.<br />
<br />
So now that I have retired, I decided to join in with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/raemissigman/" target="_blank">@raemissgman</a> 's Art Marks 30 day summer challenge. For one thing, it gives me a daily challenge prompt which gives me something to focus on. And secondly, it is a free-style challenge so really anything goes. I particularly like mixed media and collage, so I am doing a lot of that in the prompts. The biggest challenge for me is working small. I am using a journal that was given to me by a sweet compatriot in our MIABA altered book club. It isn't the best for mixed media, but I am reinforcing the pages as best I can. So without further ado, here are my first seven days of prompts.<br />

I haven't had nearly as much time this year to spend on my own art, since I started teaching art at my school. It has turned out to be a much larger undertaking that I anticipated.
So it felt really good to do something just for me for a change. Teaching art has certainly stretched me in many ways and my art has definitely improved because of it, but I miss having the free time to just go into the studio and play.<br />
<br />
And I haven't had too much free time to post on my blog. But summer is coming. So I hope to be better about putting things up.<br />

I am using Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils. They are dreamy to work with. I used a couple of tutorials from the internet and two are my own work from photos. I love this new-to-me medium.

I also totally appreciate the free tutorials that she gives on her website. So many artists are so generous with their time and talents! <br />
<br />
Anyway, I found a board at the local Restore for $0.50 that I thought would work for my first venture into working on a hard surface. I gessoed the surface and then did a collage of map pieces, napkins, text pages and tissue paper. I stenciled a few paint colors onto the surface and decopauged the butterflies and the quote. I used charcoal pencil to do the shading around the butterflies. The final piece is about 8x8 in.<br />
<br />
All in all, I was pretty happy with how it turned out and I will definitely try this again. As a matter of fact, I have one in process now.Triciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01675288859493624611noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17496048.post-46625957948792184682015-06-22T15:00:00.000-04:002015-06-22T15:00:36.731-04:00Altered Book Spread - Collage<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am trying out different things in my art journals these days. This particular one is a collage of various vintage papers and ephemera. I really like it. I don't know whether it is completely done or not. I am letting it rest awhile to see if I feel it needs more later.Triciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01675288859493624611noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17496048.post-77790060437746837312015-04-01T11:16:00.000-04:002015-04-01T11:19:13.568-04:00Mandala Altered Book for Round Robin<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I gelli printed directly onto the canvas for the background and cut pieces out of other gelli prints for the houses. Then I used more paint, doodles, stamping, rub-ons and more to finish them off.<br />

It got really busy over the holidays. But I have been making lots of art. I'll be posting some pictures over the next little while of things I've been making.<br />
<br />
I recently tried repurposing a canvas that my daughter had done a few years ago. It was one where she had melted crayons on it, so I knew the only hope was lots of gesso, texture and molding paste.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of the original canvas, but here is the finished product.<br />

These two pictures sort of show the texture and also you can see some of the art peeking through below the gesso.<br />

I am currently following along with Donna Downey's Inspiration Wednesday and that is where I got the idea for the raised letters for the word "PEACE". So that is it for today. I'll be back soon with more art to share!

It is sort of hard to see, but there is a lot of texture going on. I used texture medium through stencils on certain areas. There also is quite a shimmer to some of the paint.<br />

This is the first round robin of this type that I have been in. We made our own journals using the Teesha Moore tutorial for her 16-page journal from one sheet of paper found <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z6qmXGRrsE" target="_blank">here</a>. I used a scraped paint background, then stenciled over it with <a href="http://www.donnadowney.com/donna-downey-products/stencils.html" target="_blank">Donna Downey stencils</a> and used some found objects for further mark making ala <a href="http://kollaj.typepad.com/kollaj/" target="_blank">Traci Bautista's</a> <a href="http://kollaj.typepad.com/kollaj/2014/05/a-peek-inside-printmaking-unleashed.html" target="_blank">Printmaking Unleashed</a>. Then I used washi tape, dry-walling tape and perforated tape pieces to add more texture. The cover has a piece of ephemera that is a portrait of Mary of Teck.<br />

The background is a carving of Akenaton and Nefertiti and three of their daughters.<br />

And the next spread has pull outs kept in a papyrus pocket with a stamped background. I had purchased a big sheet of papyrus last year at Hollanders in Ann Arbor MI, one of my favorite stores.<br />

Ancient Egypt is one of my favorite subjects. I love Ancient History. So this was a really fun round robin to participate in. I was lucky enough to have an old Stampin' Up set that had Egyptian images. Most of the other images either came from a daily calendar from the Metropolitan Museum of Art or images from old National Geographic or Smithsonian magazines. <br />

While I was participating in Traci Bautista's <a href="http://kollaj.typepad.com/kollaj/2014/07/31-days-printmaking-inspiration.html" target="_blank">Printmaking Unleashed 30 day event</a>, I did a lot of work on a bigger sheet and decided to do a Glam Girl over the top, ala <a href="http://www.doodlesunleashed.com/" target="_blank">Doodling Unleashed</a>. I used a background I started two years ago when I took her Strathmore online class and started to add to it. I used stencils, spray paint and spray ink, found printing tools, markers, puffy paint, acrylic paint and more. So many things going on here. The flowers in her hair are decoupaged from deli paper print cut outs. I think she turned out pretty well. The photo doesn't show up well, but there are highlights using a metallic gold pen throughout her hair. It really shines in the light. Now all I need is a girly-girl granddaughter to give it to ;)<br />

I decided to participate in Traci Bautista's Printmaking Unleashed 30 day challenge this month. The challenge for Day 4 was to make a stamp with cardboard. I cut out a cardboard feather and used that to stamp on the piece above. I then added the lines using a white gel pen Triciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01675288859493624611noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17496048.post-15901509362619411702014-06-11T17:46:00.000-04:002014-06-11T17:46:23.259-04:00American Southwest Altered Book Work In ProgressMy next round-robin altered book has the theme American Southwest, so I have been playing around trying to come up with something to go in her book. I have been having a bit of a hard time with this one. I just started with some colors that I felt gave the idea of the SW and scraped paint onto a piece of mixed media paper. I then started layering texture using my fingers, various stencils, rubber stamps and other things I had lying around on my art desk. I found an old coloring book I had from Dover on American Indians of the Southwest and hand copied the Navajo sand painting design onto the page.<br />
<br />
I also just worked on another background page, trying for different effects. So here are my two works-in-progress.<br />
<br />

I will likely cut both of these down before using them. I'll post the final results later this month.Triciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01675288859493624611noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17496048.post-35825666884766354512014-06-02T16:34:00.001-04:002014-06-02T16:35:50.507-04:00"Love" Altered Book for Round RobinJust mailed out the most recent of the altered book round robin books. This one had the theme of "Love". The first spread was done using lots of colors and then finishing off with oil pastels. I love the glow the hearts have.
The second spread was my try at doing Zentangles. I wasn't totally happy with this one, but oh, well, it had to go out today. Hope the owner likes my efforts.

Once a month I host a group of ladies here for "Craft Connection". We all made mixed media pieces which I demonstrated. It was so much fun spreading and splashing paint - layers upon layers. Each lady did their own piece. I wish now I had taken pictures of everyone else's work, but I didn't. :(Triciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01675288859493624611noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17496048.post-53674751459722722452014-05-02T07:49:00.000-04:002014-05-02T07:49:10.381-04:00Altered Book Spread - English Garden<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is the latest in my series of entries into others' altered books for a round robin I'm in. This one will eventually wind its way back to its owner in the UK. Had a lot of fun with this one. Her theme is "English Garden". I found this little image on Pinterest and decided to try to integrate it onto the page by painting the rest. I do like how it turned out.Triciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01675288859493624611noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17496048.post-398231947552233502014-04-30T09:00:00.000-04:002014-04-30T09:03:13.646-04:00Botanicals Altered Book Page<br />

This is a practice page for a round robin I am participating in. I'm not loving how it turned out, but I hope that the actual piece is better. I was inspired by this post <a href="http://mosshill.blogs.com/joannas_journal/2013/03/mixed-media-collage-spring-dance.html" target="_blank">Moss Hill Studios</a>. I just adore her work!
