Fairy Tales and More Fairy Tales

Yup, that's right I'm into the mixed media fairy tales still...I'm working on 'Tangled" aka Rapunzel, Snow White and Alice in Wonderland...

Here is a sneak peak..of Alice in Wonderland, I'm looking for a "gold pocket watch" that I can use that the White Rabbit will hold:

Fairy Tales are Calling

I know that I am moving, like in 3 weeks and don't really have time for mixed media art. But, yes a but, the opportunity came by way of email....Tamara Laporte's Ever After course starts July 1st and I know in reality I can't do the course right now. So, so sad about that, however Tamara emailed a lesson to me as a teaser and it is only available to view for two weeks....well this weekend I jumped in with both feet. Love, love the concept. Here is my take on The Little Mermaid. I call my piece....
Sea Treasurers

Stage 1 - the concept

Stage 2 - the process

Final Piece - Sea Treasurers

Until next time....happy creating

Until September....Maybe

I just wanted to let folks know that I probably won't be posting anything new until September. Not only is summer an extremely busy time for us, we are also moving back to Ontario. Yup the cats out of the bag now! We have purchased a condo in Ottawa and have rented a cottage in Picton at Sandbanks for three weeks. My biggest problem is deciding what art supplies I need to have access to and not pack.

We are excited about this "new" adventure, however I will truly miss the weather and the beautiful city of Victoria and all the lovely friendships that have been made.

I have been feeling a lot of stress lately and just need to focus on these friendships and packing.

Hopefully I will have loads of work to publish in the fall.

Until next time.... happy creating

My Style

My goal this year is to try to define my "mixed media" style and perhaps even "learn to love it". As a result, the Life Book lessons are really pushing towards "Finding You". The lesson was "You are Loved" but after completing the Inca Trail in Peru...I the Chinese symbol for "Strength" was my mentor. I found the quote on the web "inhale confidence, exhale doubt" and I don't know the author however these words really spoke to me.

Here is yet another example, a lesson from Effy Wild.

"Inhale confidence, exhale doubt"

Until next time....happy creating

Working Towards My Style

I feel that I need to create a lot more like these pieces to achieve my own style...I am improving though, so at least that is a start!

Until next time...happy creating
