acknowledging and thanking my friends but it took me all evening to complete scans uploads heartfelt wording etc and i need to get back to finishing the several end of the month projects that have deadlines tomorrow i am running behind again i have one little atc more magazine gesso technique to add to my faces series to upload tonight and i will have more pix tomorrow posted by shari at 12 02 am 2 comments tuesday february 27 2007 let me tell you about all of the fun stuff i have received in the mail and a belated thank you to my generous friends warning very long post i have been the lucky recipient of some really awesome stuff this past week let me do some show tell and say thank you to all of the generous artista s that have sent these gifts raks swaps and prizes to me i will personally e mail each of you later just in case you miss this post 1 i received the most amazing package of hand made papers from kathy wasilewski i was the lucky winner of her 4th freebie friday drawing it was very generous of kathy to hold these drawings and i really consider myself fortunate to have won this fabulous assortment here is a pix but believe me it is way better in person thank you very much kathy 2 i also received a fabulous atc from my art blog friend belinda schneider in luxembourg i read her blog bel s nook all the time she is very talented and she does these absolutely incredible backgrounds painted layered stamped layered some more etc i kept pestering her for a private tutorial and she pointed me to several older posts on her blog with descriptions of her technique i am the kind of person who needs to see to understand so i was not quite getting the technique and i kept being a pest with a zillion questions in response to all of my queries and whining belinda generously sent me a lovely atc rak now that i have this little beauty in my hands i can see exactly what she does and i will try to create some of my own at least my own interpretaion of the belinda schneider technique i will post my results after i do some experimentation here is a pix of her atc thank you belinda i appreciate your random act of kindness 3 i won another prize are you jealous yet my friend fran saperstein check out her blog artsyfran holds manic monday drawings on her blog in honor of producing her own glorious vintage collage sheets available in her etsy shop she offered a set as the prize for manic monday and i won lucky me not only did he send me the collage sheets she also sent some really fun goodies to use in my art i so appreciate your generosity fran and i just love your collage sheets for those of you who don t know the story of how i met fran here is a short version last year at art unraveled in phoenix i took a class where the instructions were not too clear and as a complete novice i understood nothing other than i probably needed to invest in about 300 worth of tools equipment to be able to be able to recreate the project at home i was about to leave knowing that i absolutely didn t need to learn and invest in a new and expensive art process when fran who was also in the class stopped me offered to share her tools and knowledge and friendship it turned out to be one of the best classes i took at au she told me what i really needed to buy to get started introducing me to harbor freight and showed me step by step how to do the project you ar wonderful fran and i am very greatful that i met you here are pix of her collage sheets they are wonderful images and the quality is great thank you thank you thank you 4 and still more today i received a charm from the talented angie haviland check out her blog angie s art full life i have been in several charm swaps this past couple of months but none of them included angie as a participant who knew there were so many charm swaps happening i read her blog often and saw a pix of the charms she had made for the swap she is paritcipating in i loved her charms and knew that i had to have one so i commented on her blog and suggested a one on one swap today i received this beautiful work of art from angie to add to my growing charm collection it is even more beautiful in person than on her blog i have a confession to make i have not sent angie my charm in return yet doing so is on my lengthy to do list angie i will try to get it in the mail tomorrow she also sent me some pretty fibers in the package what a treat here is a pix of her charm 5 and lastly a very very belated acknowledgment to my friend heather bluhm i have thanked her personally but i have not sent my trade back to her yet sorry heather i m just a bit behind as usual she sent me notecards made using her fabulous art a sample of her flickr moo cards and several wonderful 1x1 mini collages the 1x1 s included the frida one that i requested from her when we first started making these mini masterpieces here s the pix and thanks again heather posted by shari at 10 06 pm 3 comments monday february 26 2007 one more thing about the pieces in my last post i forgot to mention that all of my backgrounds for these 13 pages were made out of a large piece of red rosin paper which can be found at your local menards home depot loews etc i always use a piece of the rosin paper as a surface protector under my artwork it also becomes my paint and glue palette it is quite water resistant and stands up to great abuse i always scrape around any extra paint medium glue etc with a credit card as i work on a project the rosin paper eventually becomes a masterpiece itself and i use it in a multitude of projects one of the rules for the lynne perrella swap style series fatbook was that the back of the pages could not be plain they didn t have to be fancy just not plain so i used more of the painted rosin paper for the backsides i did not collage the backsides but they turned out fun anyway here are a few pix posted by shari at 4 20 pm 4 comments lots of new art these are the pieces that i created for a lynne perrella style series fatbook page swap that is being hosted on the altered art obsessions yahoo group i hope all of you like my interpretation of her style i am very pleased with the way they turned out posted by shari at 1 09 pm 8 comments winter has returned to the chicagoland area snow snow and more snow this weekend will winter never be over i guess that it was ok that i was stuck in the house my own choice i hate driving in the snow it gave me an opportunity excuse to stay in my nightgown all day and do art will post pix later posted by shari at 1 03 pm 0 comments fun friday i had the best time on friday my son dan took me out to lunch we had sushi spicy tuna rolls my fav and after lunch he treated us both to a manicure he was unhappy about how raggedy my nails and cuticles looked par for the course in the winter and when i am doing a lot of art i am posting this pix of my fresh manicure before it gets ruined by paint gel medium glue etc not a great picture kind of fuzzy it s not always easy to photograph your own hand posted by shari at 12 54 pm 0 comments thursday february 22 2007 and this is my favorite of the faces series phenominal woman posted by shari at 8 48 am 3 comments i m hooked on the magazine gesso technique and i m having too much fun posted by shari at 8 44 am 2 comments tuesday february 20 2007 a new way to showcase my inchies this is the finished product from class i recently taught on 1x1 mini collage the class included creating background papers collaging the mini masterpieces and then mounting them in a hand bound flag book it was a very fun class it seems like almost everybody that i introduce to these mini wonders loves to create them posted by shari at 9 06 am 1 comments saturday february 17 2007 ooops almost forgot to post these more 1x1 s these were created for the true colors 1x1 swap on the altered art obsession s yahoo group posted by shari at 6 43 pm 0 comments 1x1 s again well i m at it again more new 1x1 s these 20 are for an inchies swap on the chubbyville yahoo group i m hooked again think i only created 20 more to post later posted by shari at 6 35 pm 0 comments friday february 16 2007 a little bit out of my box i created a few new atc s for a swap hosted by belinda spiwak of the the altered art techniques yahoo group using techniques from the new bernie berlin artist trading cards workshop create collect swap book the technique i used for these two atc s is her magazine gesso technique these are probably not the finest example of my art work i am highly critical of any of my art that has my own hand drawing scribbles doodles or handwriting in it but i had a fun time and yes i was out of my box posted by shari at 5 55 pm 2 comments i m always running behind is it just me i seem to always be running behind in life and playing catch up i have been trying to find ways to keep on track but so far none have worked for me i realized recently that one of the things that eats up most of my time is the internet so i have tried to spend less time online did that work no i m still behind in the rest of my life and now i m behind in cyberspace as well i owe a zillion maybe not quite a
