Mixed Media Piece, Drawing and Free Images

 The collage below was worked over a few weeks.  I just kept leaving it and coming back to it.  I like how it turned out, but it still is not finished.  Its currently on drawing paper and I want to adhere it to something stronger.

 

 

 The purple is dimensional paint stamped with a foam stamp and then painted a bit of blue in the leaves.

 I'm continuing in my quest to learn how to draw whimsical girls.  Here's some of my practice ones.  Thanks again to Tam at Willowing for her free course.

 

Still working for the look I'm after, and I see improvement with ever practice.  Wish me luck with my finding my style.

 Are you still holding on to summer.  I AM!  I can't even think about how soon we'll see it go without getting depressed.  Here are some images to have and enjoy from Shorpy's and Bumble Button.  I especially love everything ocean and beach!!

  

I was impressed at this tutorial.  Simple and cool.  I haven't yet tried one myself.  Let me know if you did.

A Crown and A Plethora of Tutorials and Videos

Welcome to all my new followers and all who have left me such sweet comments recently! 

I have been visiting the blogs of my sorority sisters and busy creating a little.  

Recent altered work I completed using a yard stick?  I'm still not sure its completed.  Sometimes things take a while to get finished.  I leave them sit for a while and come to it later and might then see what else I can do to it to improve.  Do you do that too?

Once again due to the generosity of many magnificent artists and crafters, those of us always on the search to learn more arting are so fortunate.  Here are some awesome resources that I've found recently:

I also have been fortunate in Freecyling and have amazing old books that I'll share with you soon.  Also, got several vintage piano rolls that I will offer for sale.  It's the most unique paper to use in projects.

Celebrating summer is very important to me because summer is my favorite time of year.  I was already on vacation at the beach this summer, but I'm always thinking of it, always!!

So, here are some images for you to celebrate summer too.

Thanks to Marie's Freebies

Enjoy your weekend,
