Do you ever a have BLANK day?

I sure did go blank today.

As much as I love creating, life sometimes gets in the way. Here are some tips to get over the BLAHS.

Humor can help. Think of a funny quote and run with it in your art. Envision the words but in art form!

I see a watercolor banana or a collaged banana or a deconstructed picture of Betty White in a collage with or without a banana.

We have some snarky and humorous word stamps to kickstart a card idea.

Another great way to jumpstart your creations. Take ONE item from your art supplies and lay it down on paper or whatever is handy. I tear apart cardboard or corrugated boxes for a base. Use a text page and scribble with a gelato, blend it and see what happens. Add another layer of torn paper or a stencil and you are halfway to a gorgeous artwork. Our collages create magic!

I hope this helps with some inspiration for your week of creating ART.

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
