Dion Dior & More...: Autumn Whimsy. Sometimes I get out and about with the grand intention of capturing the scenes around me in my sketchbook.
Unfortunately, my psyche isn't always with me on that plan, nor is any skill or technique. It's at times like these that I focus on the essence of what is around me, rather than the rendering. I'm participating in the Art Every Day Month challenge which is all about nurturing your daily creative habit. Something simple, every day. Always remember, when it comes to art, journaling, and creativity, it is the process of creating something everyday, the simple act of putting paint to paper that matters most...NOT the finished page.
If you can let go of your expectations, your false perspective of what you think you are supposed to do, how you think it is supposed to turn out... ...then you might be surprised by the beauty of your heart that sits boldly within the pages of your sketchbook. This autumn has been truly beautiful, one picture postcard scene after another. Community.
Project: Doodle Eggs. Have you seen the cover of the current issue of Martha Stewart Living?
How striking are those eggs? I really like the graphicness of them. They are made by putting decals on the eggs (I’m assuming waterslide decals like we used at halloween). I like the idea, but know those decals would be hard to wrap smoothly around an egg and unless you cut them completely out you would see the shininess of the decal. I thought there had to be another way to get the same look. I started with some fake eggs I picked up at Michael’s. Now if you are a confident doodler, you can start right on the eggs with the marker. Then I topped that with the Sharpie.

Measuring Up. While feeding my Pinterest addiction, I came across a website that I love called One Lucky Day.
Theyrecently showed how to make a beautiful necklace using wooden discs that they dyed and stamped. Go HERE to see what they did. I liked the idea of stamping the discs and it got my wheels turning. Rather than using the discs for jewelry, I went in another direction... I used the discs as embellishments for a photo display.
One Lucky Day used dye to color their discs but I just used paint and applied it with a damp paper towel. I stamped each of the discs... Using a Burnt Umber acrylic paint, I antiqued the discs using a damp paper towel...
