Arty Give Away's

A few weeks ago I started doing a Technique Thursday for the Paper Imagery Designs Yahoo group. Every other Thursday I feature a new technique on the PID blog and then the members of the Yahoo group make a piece of art using that technique. This past weeks technique is Masking Tape Distress. The girls are doing such a great job on the group that I decided to add a little fun into the mix and will be giving away this atc in a random drawing from the members of the group who participated.

The vintage woman is from Victorian Women sheet # 265 Join the yahoo group and you will receive a discount on your purchases at the web site.

Thanks for stopping by!

I love both the Victorian lady and the your young girl. I just ordered the Victorian sheet. And you have given me some ideas. I continued down and saw many things you have made/created. It's fun to make your own book. But your cemetery Angel changed my opinion of those angels. You did an excellent job there, especially love the background you made for that angel. And thank you for directing me to the your webshot site that allows me access to copyrighted free images. -paddy

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 ...
