Inspired By Violet

Who doesn't love the color violet...?

It's been described as majestic....royal....regal...

Me...?  I haven't always been a violet lover, but am fast becoming one...

I LOVE that huge POP of vibrancy from violet....the blue hues compliment my landscaping...

And I got inspired with DYES...

I dyed Canvas...then stenciled..added details like the fabric flower....

Yummy rivets!

A black glossy bamboo handle....and voila!

Wine Journal Note Book

Have been working on this one for a bit....

Started with a box I recycled...then gessoed for that wonderful texture...began drawing and painting getting more and more inspired by all those wine corks;)

Finally finished it up....

Lots of pages with pockets, tags, tabs...

Really enjoyed sewing papers, fabrics, trims, etc throughout....

And am happy to share with you for Paint Party Friday:)

Neopaques

So, I Read about Neopaques ...It's  Suzi Blu's Fault

Looking Like Aliens at this point,

But I know they'll get better...

It's all about Layers...

Patience...

And a stiff brush for Canvas...

Isn't it all about trying something new?
