Dale Loves Color June 21, 2008
Here is my piece that I made for the Sunday Postcard Art Challenge. We were challenged to make a postcard in honor of a painter. I chose Dale Chihuly. Chihuly is most well known for his elaborate, colorful thrown glass pieces. He is my favorite artist. He also does amazing paintings while his team is working on the glass pieces. He uses a ton of paint and a ton of color. A lot of his glass forms resemble characteristics of objects found in nature such as sea forms, or floral forms. I chose to reflect a more sea-like form in my artwork, although the tendrils could also be part of a floral figure. I used a lot of bright colors just like Dale Chihuly might choose, and I used a lot of circular, splattered, and wavy shapes that reflect Chihuly’s styles.
Father’s Day Card June 15, 2008
Here is the Father’s day card I made for my dad. I used the theme “By the Sea” from the Mixed Media Mondays blog. I don’t know how well it shows up in the photo but I stamped fish images with silver and gold ink at the bottom of the card.
Bejeweled June 15, 2008
Here is my photo that I took for the Creative Spirits Connect art challenge blog.
My favorite routine activity is when I put on all my funky earrings in the morning. I love making my ears sparkle! Jewelery is just so much fun. I feel like an artsy princess when I dress up my ears.
I am pleased with the composition of the photo, but the quality isn’t the greatest. I am still saving up for a dSLR camera. Until then, my point and shoot one will have to suffice.
