Text of the page (random words):
friends and family well i finally got around to scanning in some new art for my blog i hope that you will enjoy it and please leave me a comment if you will the first piece is a double image transfer i printed the images on matte finish photo paper and transferred them to an acrylic background using matte gel medium i came back in with a black pen to add a little interest to the top image of the woman i especially like the crackle look to the images that i was able to do with the heat gun due to the fact that the background was acrylic and when heated it expanded a little and cracked the transfer the second and third pieces are beeswax collages these are fun to do and not being able to leave well enough alone i like to add additional color with an inexpensive crayon in one hand and my heat gun in the other way fun and you can get some neat results i would love to be able to get my pieces more smooth but when i try with my heat gun it seems that i end up melting away too much of the wax i think next time i am going to use a low temp small sewing aid iron dry heat of course if you have a suggestion on how to get that really smooth look with well attached elements please let me know well spring is in the air almost and i am going to try to redo my blog again and this time try to get back to the three columns that i had before things went haywire i am just worried about saving my elements and especially my archive i will do some researching first before i try it i am planning on adding some more new art very soon and some pieces will be for sell so please drop by when you are in the neighborhood haha i hope to do some spring inspired things and some more painting posted by mary lynn at 3 32 am saturday february 6 2010 blog is a mess hello friends and family well i am really happy that you came by but hate for you to see my blog looking a mess i was trying to install a new background and somehow i ended up converting my three column to a two column blog i am going to have to sit down and take the time to fix it i hate all of that wasted space on the sides however i am working to meet a deadline at the moment one piece of my art was selected for a juried show and i am so excited about that then there is another one to try to get into on monday hopefully i will have next week to get this blog done and add some new photos oh and i am still trying to keep up with my journaling not too often but still better than last year i will share that later too have a great weekend and be safe posted by mary lynn at 10 53 am monday january 4 2010 happy new year hello this is my last painting of a garden gate done in acrylics on a stretch canvas please leave me a comment and let me know if you like it or if you would like to offer a suggestion hello friends and family i am so excited about all of the possibilities for the new year i am feeling creative connected and committed to my goals for this year i am not really one for resolutions but i do see this as a wonderful time to make changes in myself someone said and i wish i knew who that if we don t stop to examine who we are that life is not worth living i have been doing a considerable amount of this self examination if you are like me one of my goals is to continue to watch my calories i am slowly loosing but i know that i have got to increase my exercise i want to be stronger and more flexible so i am really going to work on this number two on my list is a simple enough statement i want to be more creative wow is that one ever loaded for me i am starting about four journals i have never even kept one and now i am starting four i must be out of my mind 1 is a visual art journal of images colors and textures of things that i just like i want to practice my doodling and lettering in this journal too 2 is just a wine journal more concrete with various information about wines that i will purchase and taste this year 3 is a spiritual journal it may contain images colors etc but also bible verses that speak to me quotes and i don t know what else 4 will be a diet exercise record book for the progrss do you like that positive word that i make with my diet and exercise please wish me luck with these journals as if that wasn t enough i have decided to practice drawing more i have a new sketch book and i want to go to half price books and find another copy of the book drawing on the right side of the brain i am terrible at drawing and as i add sketches i will upload them so you can offer suggestions and comments and if you would like you can draw along with me part of my being more creative this years means that i am becoming more involved in creating my own art in the form of paintings and collage i am a member of a couple of local art associations and i want to enter some shows this year of course if they are juried shows well then you have to be selected to be in the show that is scary if you have read my blog in the past you know that i have been involved with online art groups i was the owner of such a group but two days ago i stepped down to make more time to do my own art i still love altered art and i will continue to do that maybe in the form of small collage art en caustics and altered objects but i am not going to be doing any atcs or book round robins well not any rr of any kind i have to say it was a little sad to give up owning a group and sad to think of the things that i won t be doing this year but i needed a change and so i am going after it i want to encourage all of you to 1 examine your life and 2 make your own changes i want to learn create and expand on who i am as a artist my third and final goal for the new year is two parts to give back more to my community and my church and to have a closer walk with my lord and savior this is what this means to me and some of my plans through a friend at a local gallery i will be teaching art to some under privileged children since this is what i trained for i think it would be a shame not to use my skills in this area through my church there is a program of helping others called hearts and hands i am planning to volunteer there whenever i can also my church has a school and they do not have an art teacher and i would like to discuss with the school how i could volunteer my services there i have decided to take up a challenge to read the bible cover to cover in a year and i know that by reading god s word that i will find the closness the faith and the spiritual growth that i am seeking if you are a person that prays then i ask for your prayers on my behalf to reach my goals all of my goals i am going to write down in my art journal if you don t write it down and then make the time to do the things that you say then you will never reach your goals i am feeling so good so full of life so willing to share and to change that i am very excited by all of this i know there will be many days when i won t do a thing but i will be aware of them if nothing else sometimes when you are retired like i am one day just runs into the next and it is easy to procrastinate if you like please send me some encouraging words quotes questions and if you want i will do the same for you just let me know in a comment on a very personal note most of you know but in case you didn t i am a widow my husband passed away in january of 2002 i have been alone all of this time well in july of 2009 i decided to start dating i am dating now and looking for a new love of my life dating is never easy but i find it more difficult since i have not done it since i was 24 years old oh my goodness has dating changed i am doing online dating and it is slow and time consuming but i think it gives me the best chance i have to find the perfect match for me i m not saying a perfect man because there aren t any but just someone who will love me unconditionally be honest and faithful and committed to the relationship that is all i wouldn t mind if we had similar interests but that isn t really necessary if we are respectful of each other and the things that we do i could use so luck and prayers in this department too well time to close and head off to bed it is almost 3 30 here and i plan to be up early to start my new goals god bless you all and happy creating posted by mary lynn at 3 03 am thursday december 10 2009 lisa s countdown to christmas hello friends and
