redo..... {charmer}

i had been looking at some of the artists that inspire me and was overwhelmed with the need to get to the studio.....

monday night, i made it to the studio to try my hand with what had become a complete obsession in my head; now finally, out on paper.

it is a charmer.

here is a quick view video:

happy hump day.

planner art..... {she doodles}

when i travel it is so hard being a mixed media artist, as you can never bring enough art supplies; and then, there are the travel restrictions on what you can bring and the size....

so when i travel, i only take a few things which pushes me outside of my comfort zone and forces me to use different things to create.

the initial drawing was also drawn with my eyes closed; as long as i am pushing......may as well push a little more.....

happy monday.

ledgers..... {1800's}

i had attended the local art meeting at the county historical center and could hardly focus on the meeting with these 1800's ledgers sitting on a shelf directly behind me....

the penmanship was outstanding as only 1800's penmanship can be.

was thinking i wanted to smuggle a couple of those ledgers out; i should have brought a big purse. (kidding!!.... i think....)

to keep or not to keep

had to make another card for a friend, and i loved how this one turned out- to the point that i considered keeping it....

but, in the cosmic scheme of karma, if you love something set it free (right?....)

and so, all packaged up and ready to mail out today.....

happy hump day.

transformed.....{stencil}

couldn't wait to use my new Soulful Scribbles mini stencils from Traci Bautista....(posted to my youtube channel)

i grabbed a Woodland Artpops card- rubbed a little smidge of my gold craft paint and then rolled payne's grey through my stencil onto the artpops card.....

total happiness.

and my mom came and hung out for a bit in the studio yesterday.....

do you snap?..... find me- kristin peterson (alteredstatesstudio)

altered calendar....

feeling deep withdrawal for paint on my fingers and my pencils carving into my wet paint after the long weekend of stripping wallpaper and no studio time.

.....finally made it to the studio last night. 

i had purchased a calendar at Target this last week (for a dollar!! in the first section of stuff they always have by the front entrance) and was hoping to be able to alter it.....

and i am happy to say- it is working like a charm.

a little gesso, some paint, an art sticker tape, and stamping.....

i am working on editing a video to show you how i am altering the calendar..... coming soon.
