Authentic You

'Home'

My friend Julia and I were discussing today about style and how it relates to our art work. Since I have taken on some classes with other artists I found myself wondering how I could follow the class and still be authentic to my own style and was this even possible?

Follow our conversation here and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Vintage Greeting Card Class Now As A Download

Hey Everyone
I am very excited to announce that my popular online class 'Make Your Own Vintage Greeting Cards' is now available as a stand alone download. This means you can access all the videos and pdfs right away and complete when you want.

You will still get memberships to Creative Adventures and our Flickr Group too. This is so exciting, I know some of you prefer to work at your own pace and not be part of a class so this is going to be perfect for you!

Check it out at my Etsy shop.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

It's Time For Another Silent Auction Yay!

This is an original mixed media collage painting on a 5 x 7" canvas. I've painted the sides black, which are staple free gallery quality and I have finished the canvas with a satin black ribbon for hanging.

"There is nothing like the smell of fresh coffee. Whether you are at home or out visiting your favourite coffee shop, a large cup of hot fresh coffee is just the thing you need to perk you up!"

This beautiful painting is full of depth and interest with the many layers I have added using vintage papers, handmade papers, rubber stamps, charcoal pencil, printed music sheets and all finished with a layer of beeswax to seal and give more texture.

'Coffee' is ready to hang as soon as you receive it!

Materials: vintage papers, acrylics, charcoal pencil, rubber stamps and beeswax to seal.
