Organica - LOOKING FOR A NEW HOME!

Hi all,

Just wanted to blog a little about my latest piece called "Organica". I am biased but I just love this piece. It took on a life of it's own as I was creating it. It's a large piece at 24" x 36" with the thick gallery wrapped sides so it's ready to hang. I have many more photos in my flickr photostream to see details better. It has green little micro beads, archival paper, rhinestones, gold leaf flakes, molding paste and more. It's coated in some great smelling beeswax to finish it off. This piece has a lot of depth and would be a great focal piece for a room. It has a soft earthy feel to it with all the greens and browns. If you would like more info on it you can view the listing for it or email me. Thank you for looking!!

I've been tagged!!!

Maureen from the Jeweled Rabbit was the tagger! I was also tagged last week from someone else but I couldn't read the post due to a widget overlapping on the text. :( Anyhoo here's some info about myself!

  1. I have been to Europe 6 times and to 10 different countries including Russia.
  2. I've done missions work in different countries and was a part of YWAM right out of high school.
  3. I am the oldest of 4 kids and I have no sisters at all.
  4. I've driven on the AutoBahn when I was 21 and LOVED it!
  5. I've been skydiving and would do it again in a heartbeat!
  6. I have my motorcycles license and had my bike before Lorelei was born, I'll have another one someday!
  7. I'm a DIE-HARD JEEP girl and totally miss my big wheeled Wrangler, especially driving on Florida beaches.
Here are the seven people I've tagged:

Shelli at Studio Mela
Paulette at Paulette Insall
Suzan at Thrifty Collage Artist
Lauren at Sunbasilgarden
Krissy at KrissysArt
Jenn at NoodleandLou
Tascha at Time with Tascha

If I've tagged you, here are the rules for playing along:
  1. Link to the person who tagged you (That would be me. :p) and list these rules on your blog.
  2. Post seven random facts about yourself on your blog.
  3. Post the names of seven people at the end of your post and leave the links to each of their blogs.
  4. Let each of them know you've tagged them by leaving a comment on their blogs.
Have fun. :OD

WIP - Secret Garden

Hi all,

Just wanted to show you my latest mixed media piece. This is a little washed out because this piece has a lot more dimension in person. I think it's because my Ott light was on directly above it. You can see more photos here. It's a 24 x 36 inch canvas with the deep gallery wrapped sides. I've used a little bit of everything. I'm probably going to do this as a private sale or auction. If anyone is interested please contact me. I won't be putting this on Etsy I don't believe but may change my mind. I've used metal flakes, scrapbooking paper, pencils, water soluable crayons, Steward Gill paints, stencils, tissue paper, glitter, molding paste, acrylics and probably more. I would love some input. I'm also probably going to put little orbs of light in it in a few places to make it a little more magical.

LoLo and I have been sick all week and I haven't been working on it as much as I would have liked. Send some prayers our way if you get a chance, we have colds with coughs and runny noses and my ear is completely blocked right now. So not fun!

Thanks!

Blog Action Day - Poverty


stop poverty, originally uploaded by Stitch.

Today is a day to unite bloggers and people on the web to bring to light the issue of poverty. There are many people living in poverty in all parts of the world including here in the US. I thought I would share some links that are doing their part to help end poverty. I am also going to donate any sales I get today to Compassion International. I have sponsored 2 kids for the past 2 or 3 years. We sponsor 2 little boys, 1 in Bangladesh named Sunil and 1 in Burkina Faso named Aristide. It's been such a blessing to help take care of these 2 boys. We write letters back and forth and it's wonderful. Please consider sponsoring a child.

Here are some useful links:

Bread.org (this has a list compiled already for you!)

Thank you for reading. Please do your part to help!

God Bless!

Shop Update Sneak Peek

Hi all,

Well this is the first time I've planned an update but my stuff has been building up and need to start listing it. I figured I would do it as a big update instead of just one at a time.

The image above is called "Urban Melody" and it's an OOAK mixed media original. I listed this today. This piece was created while I was taking Paulette Insall's Organic Dimensions class and I couldn't think of a name so Paulette named it for me! Thanks girl! Anyways this one was listed today as well as a print because I forgot I was going to do the update like this. OOPSIE!

Well anyways here are a few more images of items I will be listing this Saturday some time. I'm not going to give a set time because not sure when my sweet daughter will nap so it's up in the air. But by Saturday night I should have all new items listed.

I have a few new book marks and book mark sets:



A few new prints, only showing 1:



2 more mixed media paintings possibly more:


and whatever else I come up with before then.

I hope you enjoy these new pieces!!
