GROUP Ustreams -- Say What???

Hi All, 

I've been a very busy girl. I should be shunned from the blog world! But I do have some news and I'll include a few pics of some of my latest projects for now. 

Mark your calendars for something new with my Ustream Channel! 

Saturday 13 September @ 11AM EDT will be my first GROUP stream! My good friends and artists Ellen Smith Vargo and Donna Walsh will be joining me LIVE. We will be co-creating and taking turns doing demos, answering your questions, and sharing our favorite products and resources. But beware -- our usual banter will be going on in the background, so who knows what will happen! If this is well received, we plan to make this a recurring event. We also have a few more art friends that we may rope into playing along with us once we work out the kinks.

If you are signed up to follow my Ustream channel, you'll have already received a notice of the event via email. If you are not yet signed up and would like to join in the fun, click this link and 'follow' me.

Stay tuned -- lots more fun to come!!!

Here are some pics of some of my latest projects. So sorry but I'll have to post more details about the projects at another time, but if you have a specific question about anything, please leave a note and I'll be sure to get back to you asap. 

My newest obsession -- Polymer Clay Tiles -- thanks to Laurie Mika:

I've also been making some collages and cutting them into ATC's to send along with orders from my Etsy shop. 

This is a canvas I made for my Oncologist's office after taking Jodi Ohl's Angels class at Create in New Jersey: 

And a commissioned piece for one of Dave's golf buddies -- this is his 5th canvas I've made for him: 

Happy Arting!

Patina Gelli Prints & NEW PTP Elements Rubber Stamps Coming Soon!

Hello Everyone! 

Quick blog post today to share my YouTube video tutorial on making what I call my Patina Gelli Prints. They really look like old weathered metals that have that lovely patina that's hard to replicate otherwise. This is pretty close for a faux patina look: 

You know I'm usually drawn to bright colors, but these have been catching my eye lately and I've received a lot of questions over on my Facebook art page Inky Obsessions, so I thought it was time for a YouTube demo. This is also a good page for you to 'like' if you want to keep up with what I'm doing. I usually post to this FB page first. 

I'll be packing up over the weekend for my jaunt to Somerset, NJ for this year's Create Art Retreat! I can't wait to see some old friends and make some new ones. What a great time we have there. Lots of really fun classes with Interweave's top name instructors. Its fun to stay at the event hotel and get to have meals with everyone and the instructors too. We usually spend the evenings hanging out at the hotel bar to mix and mingle. 

iStencils.com is sponsoring a table for me to sell my Patti Tolley Parrish Stencils at the Create Vendor Night on Friday 11 July. I will also be selling my PTP Elements Rubber Stamp Sheets and will be introducing my 3rd set at Create! Once I return, these will be for sale in my Etsy Shop -- Inky Obsessions. This set features a couple of my hand drawn designs -- the poppies and the pictographs. Here's a peek: 

Matching iStencils will be coming out sometime in the late summer, so stay tuned for that big release and sale! 

For now, 

Happy Arting!
