My Art in a Book!

I was fortunate enough to be one of the artists who participate in the Grumbacher Cross-Country Clearprint Project.

Artists received two - 6"x8" Clearprint Vellum Books. One to keep and the other to create a piece of artwork in and return within 1 week of receiving the book. 


All images are scanned and uploaded to the Clearprint website gallery for all the world to view.

I got my books last Thursday and worked on my entry all weekend. 

I used black pens, 01 and 05 on the front of the page.

I added watercolor pencil to the back side of the paper and a little glitter pen to the front in strategic spots.

I placed this up to the light to let the full effects of the color shine thru the paper. It looks a lot better in real life.
I am adding a small piece to the front cover of the book and then it will go into the mail Tuesday. I can't wait to see it on somebody else's website!

I'm just learned a new technique for lettering so I'm off to the studio to play with my gelsticks, waterbrushes and watercolor pencils.

A Colourful Challenge

I am an early riser. What can I say? Might as well get up and tangle for a while. And that's what I did since I already watched Downton Abbey last night. Good season opener. I didn't want to show the mess I created in the bathroom this morning I submit this tangle as my daily challenge to create something. Daily challenge for Monday I am still having trouble writing 2015 as you can tell by my signature. I need to go back and correct that to TY 15. I also did the challenge from I am the Diva . I had to use the tangle Hitch from HeidiSue. I also used another tangle from HeidiSue called Concert. Hitch within Hitch with Concert in the supporting section! I'm off to work on my tangle*a*day calendar . I am still working on Sundays picture so they might have to run together! Isn't that exciting! And I get to mail my little glitter swaps this morning. Back to the tea party Terri

Baby, it's cold outside!

Many of my friends are covered in snow and ice and tons of cold winter weather right now. I have lived all over the United States of America and I can honestly say been there, done that. I live in South Texas and we experience cold weather once in a while. Our winter's are mild and I've seen it snow here one time in 2004. That was wonderful! Snow fell over our city on Christmas Eve and everybody woke to a 6-10" snowfall. It was really nice because it was all gone by Christmas night. No dirty snow, no sludge, just beautiful! So far this winter we are having cold days more often. It has been in the lower to mid 40's, cloudy and windy. Sprinkle in a few days of weather in the 50's and sunshine just to get our hopes up for the 70 degree weather. But I like it! Today's high is 47, cloudy with 20mph winds out of the northeast. 60% chance of rain. I love it! So in honor of the cold winds blowing around me I played with a tutorial from A Little Lime . I love ...

Oh my nose!

I've been sick. I've been tangling to take my mind off being sick. Here are a few things I've been working on. I made a bookmark from the wrapper on a set of tiles. I traced some Bijou tiles and tangled a different design on each one. I've had a sinus infection and now I have dysosmia, everything smells the same and it's not a smell I enjoy. Hopefully it will go away soon. I'm getting ready to teach a Zendala class this weekend at the Art Center. Still have a few openings if you would like to join us.
