Go Make Something


Yesterday while I was beebopping around the internet checking out the blogs of some very talented mixed media artists I came across this site Go Make Something www.gomakesomething.com. What a great idea I thought to myself. My artistic muse has gone into a panic attack. I have been looking at some wonderful art work between the internet blogs and a few dogeared magazines and I seem to have put my craftyness into a state of panic. I am like a deer caught in the bright headlights of an on coming car. I have never had this problem before. I have always been the one my friends called crafty. So when I came across this website I thought this is just what I need to get myself going. A very simple art project is posted each week at the website and this is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy ! Please check the site out if your interested.

Arlene, you look like your an old hand at altering, great job on what pieces you've shared. In reading your post it sounds like you are thinking too hard and need to just let your muse soar and create what she will. The more you do that the more it gets easier to let her out to fly ;-)
Happy Creating!

Art Journaling

I have been busy with the grandchildren and I am not getting enough art time for myself but this past weekend I had a chance to work in one of my art journals. This journal is a hand bound journal I made using a old book cover and recycled scrapbook paper. The scrapbook paper is the heavy white paper you find in those older scrapbooks. I like to prepare my background pages in advance. So what I will do is gesso the pages and then paint them. I usually have about eight pages ready to go. Then when I feel creative I don't have to wait for the paint to dry on the backgrounds. Thanks for looking Arlene

Lemon Balm Dye

Lemon Balm Dye Experiment Over the weekend I cut back a pot of lemon balm I have growing on my porch. My intention had been to bundle it up and hang it to dry. After two days of watching it dry in a big unruly clump on my kitchen table I decided to see what kind of dye I might be able to get from the bunch. I'm not having much luck getting a good picture. This is what happens if I don't pull my camera out and snap those pics first thing in the morning. The above picture is as close to the true colors as I could get today. Back to the dye..So I filled a medium pot about half way and threw the lemon balm leaves and stems in. I let it come to a boil and then I turned it down to simmer. My house smelled beautiful, nice and lemony. My husband complained about the smell. I have cooked down lemon grass in the past so I could use the fibers to make handmade paper and the smell was truely horrible. So even though the lemon balm just had a nice lemony smell ...
