    Using Recyclables In Your Art

    June 28, 2020 / 2 Comments

    The below art journaling page is made from scraps and some paint. I am always picking up things off the ground that have rusty goodness or a look of old to them. I’m always keeping an eye out for things that have had a prior life or purpose and using them in art. I make sure I clean my hands and the item after collecting it, but recycling, or ‘upcycling’ is something can be fun and make your pages unique. I’m thinking more art journal here, but below are some items you could upcycle; Some things I’ve collected along the way and used include; Metal pieces that are rusty (can…

    Natural Dyeing and Embroidery

    February 29, 2020 / No Comments

    What to do with all that beautiful fabric you dyed using fruits, flowers and vegetables? See more HERE. Here’s what I did. Stamp on it: create a sketch, transfer it to a sheet of rubber, then carve a stamp. You can also use a stamp you already have. Ink that stamp up and place on a piece of your naturally dyed cloth. Embroider all or parts of the stamped image. Here are my results. Secondly, I created an art journal page to remember my combinations and the outcome of the dyeing experiments. I encourage you to try something you’ve never done before. It just might be stress releasing and over…

    Nature’s Beautiful Hues

    February 12, 2020 / 5 Comments

    With so many artificial products out in our world, it’s so refreshing when you can enjoy natures beautiful hues. I am so enjoying one of the gifts my hubby gave me for Christmas . . . Wanderlust class. I’ve heard of natural dying before (with flowers, spices and more), but I’ve never given a try, until now. I’m so thrilled to say that I love it. It’s easy, fun and the result is beautiful. I thought I’d share the results with you. For the below I used avocado pits, hibiscus flowers, Tumeric and some black tea. Wishing you a day filled with beautiful color and blessing.

    We’re Headed North – What’s on Your Travel Bucket List?

    August 10, 2019 / 4 Comments

    “Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in this world.” ~ Gustav Flaubert. We have had the opportunity to travel the world and for that I’m grateful. Many of you know that we lived in different countries for several years. There were amazing things about each but I still think Madagascar holds a very special place. I live in the United States and you don’t have to travel far to see what a gorgeous country this is. Our National Parks are amazing. From sea to shining sea, our country is beautiful and diverse. We love Yellowstone and the beauty of Big Sky Montana. It’s part…
