Sorry, I have been off-task with this lately. I had a monster graduate class that just ended. I thought I would explode. I have the same instructor for summer school but hope it will be better since I will be out of school June 5th. <br /><br />My challenge to you this week is to layer, layer, layer. It does not matter what. Just layer fabric, colors, paper, clay, buttons, whatever you want. Just layer, layer, layer, and then layer some more. Just don't create mud.<div class="blogger-post-footer">feed-links {

I was crazy busy with the Quilt Fest. This week's challenge is to use found materials or every-day materials to create backgrounds. You can use paints to help you out. Think string, think ads from the mail. think bubble wrap, think the middle of a corrogated box. Think green. I am in green mode since we just had Earth Day on Wednesday. Use coffee or tea as a stain instead of paint to create your backgrounds. <br /><br />Have fun this week.<div class="blogger-post-footer">feed-links {

Things tend to blur together because I do so many things at one time. This week's challenge is to write on fabric. What I have been doing is writing letters to my sister who passed away last May. I am telling her things that I wanted to let her know but never got the change to tell her before the cancer took her. I am not sure it is making me feel better but I feel the need to write to her. I have been writing on dyed muslin with Gelly Roll black pens - which work great BTW. You can also use black Sharpies. Just write about whatever you want. Just write, doodle, whatever you want to do. Then take what you have written and use it in your art. I have taken parts of my letters and used it in my fabric books. I have taken sections in it and have used it as postcard backgrounds. I have used it as flower petals. I had created puffy geometric shaped with it. It did not matter whether I could read the words any more or not. What mattered was that the words came out of me and that they were not bottled up inside me any more. <br /><br />I am digressing a lot this week. So, you are to write on fabric this week. Just write, write, write. Take what you have written, cut it up, quilt it up, sew on it, do whatever you want, and create something with parts of what you have written. Have fun.<div class="blogger-post-footer">feed-links {

I literally have a paper due every week - in addition to my regular reading and weekly assignment. I am kinda cranky right now.<br /><br />This week's challenge is to go to your hardware store and go to the paint section. You have to spend about a buck ($1) and buy a plastic putty knife or putty spreader about 1.5 or 2" wide. If you don't know what one looks like, then you can just Google it. Here is a pict as well. I would scan but my scanner is on the fritz again. <br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000VAB4WM/ref=asc_df_B000VAB4WM752322?tag=the004-20&creative=380337&creativeASIN=B000VAB4WM&linkCode=asn">http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000VAB4WM/ref=asc_df_B000VAB4WM752322?tag=the004-20&creative=380337&creativeASIN=B000VAB4WM&linkCode=asn</a><br /><br /><a href="http://tinyurl.com/c7feht">http://tinyurl.com/c7feht</a> Here is a tiny url link in case the long one above breaks. <br /><br />I would not buy one wider than 1.5-2" because you lose control with the really wide ones. Splurge and buy a couple of them. They are very useful tools. I don't bother to wash them much. I just use a paper towel and wipe them off as I go along. I use several at once. They kinda gunked up sometimes because I forget to clean them. They then become part of art pieces or I toss them aside and use cleaner ones. <br /><br />Instead of using a paintbrush, paint using the putty knives instead. Use these and apply molding paste or gel medium. You will get great texture. <br /><br />Another thing you can do is take put some paint on a paper plate. Pick up the paint on the plate with the putty knife and spread the paint with it onto your surface. Scrape the paint along your surface. You will get great texture especially if your surface is kinda uneven. I do it with something bumpy or textured already on my surface. It works great. <br /><br />Something else you can do is this. Take some different colored fluid acrylics or slightly watered down acrylics and squirt onto your substrate (paper). Do so randomly and sparingly. Scrape your surface in long sweeping strokes with your putty knife to pick up the different colors. You will be amazed at the colors that come up. Squirt again in uncovered spots and repeat. Do not go over with paint already on your putty knife or it will be muddied. Just put the excess paint on another piece of paper or scrap. You can use that for another background. <br /><br />Pick up some molding paste, gel medium, or other texture medium with putty knife. Apply to your substrate. Make sure your substrate is heavier like watercolor paper, chipboard, or heavy cardboard. Swirl, cut, make chopping motions, and randomly apply medium onto surface so you get some cool texture. Let dry completely. Paint when completely dried. You might try flexing it in the opposite direction to see how it cracks when it is dried. I love cracks. I also love to use iridescent gold paint on the peaks of texture. You might want to try house paint with this. BTW, you can color the medium before applying it onto your substrate. I like to color it after I apply it. I am never sure how I want the color to look until after the acrylic medium dries. <br /><br />Putty knife works well with crackle paste, too. Thicker layer for wider cracks. Remember to have fun. It is okay if you can't do it every week. Just remember to take a breath and to do art whenever you can. I am trying to fit a bit of art in whenever I can - even with my hectic schedule.<div class="blogger-post-footer">feed-links {

The class is great! It is a lot about making drawing. So far, I feel that my images are still too formula, but think that in the end, it will be much more about individual self-expression.<br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">feed-links {

I am still smelling chlorine in my hair. It was in Wisconsin Dells. It is only fun if you are a child groovin' on water slides.<br /><br />This week is all about mail art. I am finally catching up with all the postcards that people sent to my 6th graders. Your job this week is to blow the dust off your paper cutter and cut a piece of card stock to a 4x6 size. Okay, you can cheat and take a piece of background that is around that size and cut it to 4x6. It can be fabric if you want. You need to put a focal point on it. Do something to it but it needs to be flat so you can just stick a stamp on it to send it to someone. NO fair if you put it in an envelope to mail it off to someone in pristine condition. You have to address and stamp it on the other side. You have to mail it to someone who is NOT an art person. Yeah, they might not get it. They might not appreciate it. BUT, but, but, you are spreading the love. You can always make more than one and send that one to an art person so you know it will be appreciated and loved - no matter what. You know that you can do whaever you want, I will never know the difference. I am just making it up as I go along. Do make the flat postcard and send it to someone. Make one for yourself and send it to yourself. You will come across it one day and it will amuse you. It amuses me when I come across it every once in awhile. I do it every so often when the urge strikes me to mail out an art card. I get in the mood and will do mail out a couple times a year. <br /><br />Fast Eyes, if you are reading this. I so love the mail art that you send to me! You send me the very best postcards - art cards ever! <br /><br />Go out and find some funky postage!<div class="blogger-post-footer">feed-links {
