My Poor Blog ;o(

Hello Everyone, 

Just wanted to drop a quick post after months of inactivity. Hope you are all still out there! I'm sure you all know how life can get in the way of your fun sometimes. That's been the story of our life since my last post. Between Dave getting pneumonia, me having a bad fall and the resulting injuries I had and Mojo tearing his ACL and needing surgery, we've had a pretty crazy few months. I've said this before, but I'm going to try to make an effort to check in more often and try to keep everyone a little more up to date with what I'm up to. And again, the best place to follow me is on my art Faceboook page Inky Obsessions. You can also find me on Twitter @plynnt411. 

Some of you may have heard that I've also been working with Paula Phillips (also known as JournalArtista) in doing an art gathering of our faithful Ustream followers here in Maryland in July. Twenty three of us are coming together for a long weekend of some art play and fun. I'll post about this more after the event. 

I've been doing a lot on my gelli plate lately, mostly playing with my latest release of new stencil designs at iStencils. I've also made several altered cigar boxes I'm calling Keepsake boxes for wedding gifts and new baby gifts. I've done some collages, canvases, gelli printed shirts and gelli cards as well. And some Daddy Vans Beeswax on art tissue. I still like mixing it up and trying a little of this and that. Here are some pics of my more recent works: 

More to come and I'll try to do better with some regular rhythm to my posts going forward. 

Happy Arting,

Did You Know I Have an Etsy Shop???

You didn't know??? Well if you didn't know, I'm telling you now! I HAVE AN ETSY SHOP! Its Inky Obsessions on Etsy. I sell some of my art pieces here as well as some pieces I've had made using my original artwork, like neoprene wine totes and iPhone cases. Here are some pics of some of the items I have in my shop today: 

Here are a few of the neoprene wine totes. Not a wine drinker? (I can't believe I actually just asked that question...but) If you're not, this holds a large bottle of water or soft drinks as well and keeps them cool. Great girlfriend gifts, Mother's Day gifts, Hostess gifts, or a little something pretty for yourself. If you follow me, you'll probably remember the pieces of art or painted papers that I used to make these totes...

My handmade Gelli Notecards and Matching Envelopes are very popular too. These packs of 6 each are handy to have around the house for a quick Thank You note or for a gift as well. Since each is made on my Gelli Plate, each print is unique, so no two cards are alike...

 These eight sets are now on my Etsy shop for sale. The pics below shows the cards contained in some of the sets.

I have a couple Gelli Journals left - or as I like to call them - JumpStart Journals. If you have white page syndrome and need a helping hand getting your art journal pages off to a good start, you can use one of my journals with instant backgrounds. The covers on these two journals are also made of fabric I gelli printed. Gelli inside and out...

This is a claybord made using Silks acrylic glazes and bubbling it  up with a heavy duty heat gun - great texture in this piece! My ode to Jodi Ohl! 

I hope you'll check out my Etsy Shop Inky Obsessions and maybe even share the link with any friends you know are looking for a one-of-a-kind handmade gift or items for themselves. I'll be adding new items when I have them available including some canvases and collages of various sizes and shapes. Stay tuned. 

Thanks again for your support! 

Happy Arting!
