Another mixed media piece

Side tracked again!  This all started out with a crappy 22" X 30" piece of paper.  The intent was to make some layers and then rip it up and use it on another piece of mixed media Art.

Well, I got lots of layers using paper, acrylic paint, oil pastels, and a mark all pencil.  My piece just kept evolving, not sure I can rip this up.  At least not today.

So instead, I'm having a fat quarter of fabric printed from Spoonflower.  If I like it I may have some available for re-sale?!?  We shall see.  It was a fun process and is very addicting.  Summer has finally arrived and the Studio gets pretty warm.  My Troll is sitting on the table screaming at me. ;) More later!

Painted Suitcase

Well, I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. As some of you may have heard, I fell in Sept. and sprained the top of my foot. Well, at the end of Oct. my back starting acting up. So to make a long story short, I've been doing physical therapy to get things lined up again. This is the first week, where there was no pain and no heating pads. What a relief!!

So I've been painting a "Snowman" suitcase the last couple of days. Pattern by http://www.plumpurdy.com

It was a good feeling to play and create. I have a few presents that I want to make and then hopefully a "new" Troll.
