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.

This week All Gelatos are; buy one - get one free; order your choices and we adjust the payment amount before processing your order.

 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.
