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! 

PTP

Playing with PTP Stencils & PTP Elements Stamps

Hey all! 

I've been prepping for my upcoming project in Cloth Paper Scissors later this year and making gelli prints to beat the band. I think I actually witnessed sparks flying off my brayer! LOL  I thought I'd share some of the prints I've recently made using my Patti Tolley Parrish Stencils along with my PTP Elements Red Rubber Stamps.  I really do like the layering effect you get when you use the stamps over a gelli print using the same design elements. You can see examples scattered thru the following piles of prints. These are all double sided by the way. They will become pages in my Gelli JumpStart Journals for CPS. 

  

The next three pics are a technique I'm calling Patina prints. They remind me of the natural patina that develops on metals exposed to the elements over time. Close up, these really do look like that. 

The next two prints I'm including just because I like them! The first is an example of the Gelli Arts wipe out technique, and the last one is just showing why I love Pebeo Studio Acrylics. This print has Pebeo Green Yellow mixed in with other green acrylics . 

  

Happy Arting!
