I Forgot What I Was Saying June 29, 2008
This artwork is for the Altered/Collage Scrap Forums art challenge, which was to emulate the style of an artist named Eduardo Recife. He does a lot of grungy/raw artworks. I sort of merged some of his style with my own. I wanted mine to be different.
As with the previous entry, I just snapped a pic with my MacBook’s camera function because I left my digital camera in the car. So, it is a bit dark, but I thought it was kinda quirky and interesting nonetheless.
I found this image of the woman in a magazine ad for a store’s Wedding Registry. The title suggests the crazy bliss of being in love and how nothing else matters.
No / Yes. June 28, 2008
Here is the artwork I did for the Arty Girlz challenge. This is for the ongoing recycling challenge. I used a piece of recycled cardboard that came in a package with a pillowcase I bought. Also, I used small bits of salvaged decorative papers.
I left my digital camera in the car, so I just snapped a pic with my MacBook’s camera function! Silly, but it’s what I had in front of me!
The subject of this piece is sort of the battle between good and evil in my life. That is my “heart” in the middle, notice it is torn but put back together, and it is blooming as a flower. All around the piece I stamped the letters “n” and “o” (for the word “no”). I am saying no to evil, and I created a boundary all around the artwork which is protecting my heart. In the middle of the peace I say “yes” to God.. and thus is the reason for the word “yes” at the top of the artwork.

I am so thrilled to find a bunch of blogs for mixed media and altered art challenges. I do a lot more art when I have a reason to create it. So, here’s my first reason! I love the challenge on the Salt blog. http://saltfaithchallenge.blogspot.com This week’s challenge is to create a piece of art with the theme “believe.” So here is my mixed media work:
