Not snowing but crispy


Today I am still packing up the leftovers and the weather is better. Lots of crispy snow outside but it was sunny so we(Tapas & myself )went for a bit of a walk in our woods. Crunchy would be a good description. I really need to take a picture or two of a bunch of things, the snow, the Christmas stuff I am making and the tree. Maybe this weekend, HA!
Updated my schedule a little for the beginning of 2008. It is not everything just what I have truly on the schedule to date. Keep checking back for dates and places.

This is the only way I could find to contact you. Just wanted to let you know your blog made "Surf City" in the RSM Jan./Feb. issue. That means you have a direct link from ours - go to: http://rsmadness.com/surfcity.html
Great blog, of course. By the way - another use for Diamond Glaze: when I was in a pinch and couldn't find an acrylic block large enough, I used a layer of DG on a wooden block (back side of halos mount) with great results. Let me know your e-mail if possible, mine is: angela@rsmadness.com. Merry Christmas, MaryJo!

Thanks for visiting

I love Chris Cozen's use of nature in her pieces so I am totally thrilled to have received this wonderful POD stencil set from Artist Cellar . BTW Chris's new book with Julie Pritchard is incredible. This coming June, Chris will be teaching at  Spokane Art Supply  and I cannot wait to see how she uses these stencils! When I get a new stencil I like to see how they look just outlined in black so that is always my first step. Once I saw this I knew I wanted to draw them in pencil in mass. Come back and see this as a full page in my doodling journal later this week. I use a lot of figures and I make my own templates sometimes  using magazine cutout and them painting them with plain acrylic on both sides then coating them with matte medium and then  Micro Glaze . This makes them tough like vinyl and the Micro Glaze keeps them from sticking together. If I end up loving the image I cut out a REAL stencil from acetate. These two look kind of beat up but they ...

Pages with Distress Oxides and Crayons

So last week Tim ( http://timholtz.com/tim-holtz-products/ ) sent me a bunch of Distress Oxide pads. I was curious and wondered how they were going to stack up against all the old pads I had loved for like more than 20 years. Well I was very pleasantly surprised and pleased. The colors are great and the blendabilty was excellent! This is a fusion ink which has properties of dye and pigment. I have always loved that the color line of all Distress products has a good array of neutrals which many stamp pad lines do not have. When I put the first color down I thought they felt a little dry but I was working on Mixed Media Strathmore paper so any pads would feel dry. I put a couple more colors down and pulled out the awesome Distress Sprayer. I really like this Sprayer!!!!! It's very easy to use and that little on/off button makes it great for travel. Once I started spraying I could see what the fuss is all about. The colors blended really well ...
