charming challenge

are you participating in Roben-Marie's charming challenge?.... she is doing an affirmation alphabet that she turned into charms. 

these are a couple of charms i have made so far..... the round is a metal circle key label and the small square below is an inch by inch mini canvas.

sometimes you have to be brave to come to the studio and work even if you are not inspired; or you have to be brave to post your work on social media (heaven knows my style is not everyone's style).

but, participating in the art community is worth it. i have met so many art friends over this art journey that makes it worth it all..... you are my community that means so much to me. 

• views on the blog 
• comments about the blog post
• just being able to share my work (and of course.... only the good stuff- haha! the rest goes under the counter to be gesso'd and used again and we are not going to talk about that mountain....)

love the little stitching on the canvas and the little paperdoll.

here is to you- my community.

it is good to be the king..... {paperdolls}

these paperdolls are like the kings of the mountain in the corner of my studio....

this corner tends to be wide and deep..... (a little creative chaos is good for the soul- creativity doesn't always come from having everything, but rather limitations)

goodness....

happy monday.

teabag art....... {paperdoll}

i have been working on teabags and so loving my Tim Holtz paperdolls i purchased at Michael's.....

and totally made myself laugh when i finished this one and went to photograph it, as it looks like the words might say, "help me." 

it may have been a subliminal message after the holidays and no studio time.....help me. i may need therapy..... oh wait a minute..... i am good. 

art is therapy.

happy thursday.
