Artsydoll Charm Swap ~~ Whoo Hoo
























A big thank you goes out to Kelly Parker for hosting the Artsydoll charm swap on the arttechniques yahoo group! This was my first charm swap and I can't tell you how much fun it was. The charms I received back are little works of art. I'm not sure what I am going to do with them yet. Since I played twice I have over 40 charms to play around with. I'll probably make a bracelet and a necklace. Also a big thank you goes out to all of the players. Below is a numbered list so you can match charm to artist. Group 2 is the first group picture with Group 1 below it. Click on the picture for a larger veiw.


If you are the artist who made charm # 18 in group 2 please send me your name so you can get credit for the beautiful little heart charm you made. It's one of my favorites!
One of my charms is the single charm at the top. I just realized as I was looking for a picture of my charms I forgot to take one of my second charm. Sorry I can't show you that one.

Art Journaling

Image
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 ...
