Acrylic Pour time again.

It was time for another Acrylic Pour workshop Yesterday. As usual it was great fun. I love seeing the colour combinations that people choose. I never get tired of seeing the magic of the pour. Today's students did a great job.

Workshop time again.

I don't know if you noticed or not but I took a little time off of teaching workshops. Sometimes we all need a little time to reboot to get the creativity going again, some time to just play and create on ones own. I don't always know when I'm playing/creating if it will be something I will do for a workshop or not. This little  'Joy in Bloom' canvas was a fun one to make and I was happy to be able to teach it.

Yesterday I had three wonderful ladies in to create with me. They did a wonderful job of making it their own.

A whole lot a texture on one canvas board.

 I think it's safe to say that I love texture. Whether it's doing mixed media, jewelry design or any other creative play I can't get enough texture. Sometimes it's visual texture from adding layers of paint and ink in my art journal but the best kind is real dimensional texture like in this piece. I think it has every kind of dimensional paste and product I own on it.

It started off being sample squares of different paste product I had. Once I started to paint them I knew I had to make some kind of grid canvas with them. I'm always surprised at how often my work becomes grid like or linear. I think I like swirls and circles and a little craziness but then when I started creating, things become orderly and everything needs to be in the right place. I think it's an interesting thing to think about and explore. 

I'm thinking of doing this as a workshop. So if you live in the Ottawa area let me know if you're interested.

Keep Creating!

Great week.

I've had a wonderful week and beginning of the holiday season.

We had a great time at my Open House on Sunday. Thanks to all that came out and for all your donations to our local food bank. I brought in a large box of groceries to help them out during the holiday season.

To start off my week I found out that I won a Holiday with Matthew Mead magazine on Monday morning from Jennifer over at Adventures in Mixed Media. She was very prompt at mailing to me since I received it yesterday. I'd never hear of this magazine and am very pleased to be introduced to it. It has many beautiful and inspiring holiday images and ideas. I love trying new decorating ideas for the holiday so this will be very helpful. Thank you Jennifer.
Also this week I received another item that I won from Ten Second Studio. Back in October they did a raffle for Cancer awareness month with the proceeds going to the Susan G. Koman Fund. There were 10 canvas' to chose to win and I won the Suze Weinberg canvas. Isn't it amazing. Thanks Megan and Cheryl from Ten Second Studio and Suze. I love it.
So that was my amazing week so far. Wasn't that a great way to start December! I'm ready to start the holiday season!

Now I'm off to Tai Chi and tea with friends.

Here's a canvas I finished up last week. Or at least it may be finished. I think I may still add a word or two. Any suggestions?

This is a short post since I'm getting ready for my Open House sale this Sunday. I started some new jewelry pieces last night so if all goes well I'll post them tomorrow or you'll have to come to the Open House to see for yourself.

Must go create!
