Not at 5am

You know how I write in the early morning hours and then put faces on top of those pages? They look like 5 am faces. This is my first attempt at a watercolor face not at 5am. I have no idea what I am doing. I'm just trying to imagine what I want it to look like. I think I did this on Sunday afternoon or early evening. I shall keep on trying. Thank you so much for all your kind comments regarding yesterday's post on Using Up the Scraps. And thank you for stopping by here................................jo

Using Up the Scraps

I'm finding myself getting in to this cutting (or in most cases tearing for me) and pasting, using up the massive amounts of scraps in my stash and actually putting it somewhere.Talk about relaxing. In this case most everything on this page is scraps of my own art with some home made stamps thrown in. I really like pinks and purples.And I couldn't resist the bit of purple washi tape. I think this will be a background journal page. I am going to share this over at the Tuesday Glue it Lounge There's some cool "sticky stuff" to see. Thanks for sharing a moment here....................... jo

Daring

I had the sudden urge to paint on a larger canvas this week. The weather was crappy and not exactly conducive to dragging everything outside and the garage......... well, that's entirely another story which I'll save for later...... Tell me this was not daring. Crazy! OK. So I did lay down some plastic tarp and I probably should get some more to replace the garbage bag that hangs on the lavender wall.......... but, hey it IS the art studio. It worked and I haven't got paint on walls yet. So, this is a beginning of something........... who knows where it will go. And my houses- you know my affection for houses..........here are two of them. which seem to be perfectly photographed on top of the 50 x 50 piece of plywood and against the garbage bag paint covered backdrop. This saw was not working for curves like this These are in progress. So I borrowed this. Now that's what i call building houses! lol. This experiment was also done in my studio which really should have been done in the garage as I had saw dust everywhere. Stubbornness and determination are sometimes stronger than smartness, but, hey I accomplished what I set out to do. What crazy thing have you dared to do with your art lately? Thanks for stopping in and as always, I so appreciate all your comments......................xoxoxo
