…Days 59 and 60 of my daily art challenge
BB Bash suggested that we could use hand stitching to demonstrate repetition. I’ve been using hand and machine stitching in my art for awhile. The hand stitching on this black card stock was very loose.
The crocheted hat is a continued repetition of half double crochet stitches.
…the theme for Lesson 3 for BB Bash
Over the years I have learned to save my scraps from my collage projects. I’ve put down many layers for these two ‘scrap’ pieces’. I had no plan or theme in mind. It was completely intuitive.
…day 57 of my daily art challenge
In this class we were suppose to choose a shape, mark or symbol and repeat it using any medium that we wanted. In the first piece I chose circles and paint markers.
In the next two pieces I used lines and symbols.
…making and packing cards to sell
I also put a couple of my Fantasy Art pieces onto cards.
…day 1 of a new course
BB Bash is a free 14 day course for mixed media artists intended to break the rules, trust your instincts and create confidence.
The first exercise was to get messy. Don’t try to control what goes on the paper. Don’t think about it. Just lay down colour, marks and experiment with different tools.
…getting ready for a future show
…thanks Kevin for another monster on Monday, March 17, 2025
…days 51 to 53
After reading the book The Dictionary of Lost Words I was inspired to create a double spread of collage and sketches that highlight some of the themes from Pip Williams’ book. The novel covers the making of the Oxford dictionary, protests by the suffragettes, World War 1, women as second class citizens, birth, death and romance.
…better late than never
Kevin has been so busy making special digital personalized paintings of fun animals for the grandkids of our friends that I’ve been side tracked and forgot to post his latest Wacky Bird.
…catching up ….sketching in my art journal
I haven’t posted my art pages in over a week. It’s not that I haven’t been making art but I have been reading a lot, playing bridge, going to a birthday party for 1 year old twins, participating in Book Club, attending an afternoon concert and shopping for mats so I can frame some of my art.
The following two pieces are all sketches
Days 50, 51 and 53 are coming tomorrow.
