Sometimes ideas for a project float around in my head for weeks or months. Concepts float to the top, sink to the bottom, fade in or fade out. That was certainly the case for this project. Here are some of the random thoughts that came together to create this little box. My favorite electronic cutting [...]

Studio Cloth Art Play

I play at art every single day. Sometimes in the morning with coffee, some times at the end of the day. In addition to creating serious work, this play is VERY important, it helps me to grow as a mixed media artist in the same way that a child’s daily play time helps them to develop. [...]

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!!! February is indeed the Month of Love for my family. Tom & I just celebrated our 10 year anniversary on the 9th in our favorite city, New Orleans, and on the 11th we attended our nephew’s wedding.

Prilly Fun – Don’t Forget The Children

What are Prills? Prills are highly pigmented beads of color that one can create wonderful art with! Whether you do a whole art piece with Prills or you use them to add dimension and texture as accents, Prills are the distant cousin to mica flakes. I am currently working on some detailed projects with Prills, so in [...]
Love in February – Canvas

I have been painting now for about 3 years. There is not one part of the painting process that I do not love. Abstract art draws me in. And you can take it anywhere….breathe it….throw all your emotions into that paintbrush and paint. Today I would love to share with you my “Love in February” [...]

About a month ago, I used a photo stamp for the first time – Senior Ladies 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″ (#8671) from Viva Las Vegastamps! – and created a card. Every time I looked at the stamp I imagined more and more about the two ladies it shows, sitting outside, side-by-side…. …They’ve known each other [...]

Hi! My name is Sally Lynn MacDonald and this is my third post as part of the 2012 Design Team. I hope you enjoy the project. I’m often drawn to experiment with surfaces in unexpected ways. Sometimes the results are good — and sometimes the results are more of a ‘what not to do with xyz surface’ [...]

One of the best things about the USArtQuest Design Team is the ability to experiment. This project started out as an entirely different project for the Studio Paper and Perfect Pigment Acrylics. I am not giving up on that idea, but in so doing – found this really flexible way to make mono-prints. Mono-prints are just that, a [...]

I’m so excited to be sharing my first project as a member of the USArtQuest Design Team (DT)! I first met Susan Pickering Rothamel at a scrapbook convention in 2009. She was demonstrating technique after technique all while answering questions from the crowd. I watched in awe. She made everything look so easy, I was [...]
