New Art to Share

I have been working hard on all kinds of new art over the past few months. Loosing my craft room really set me back both in my heart and my creativity, but I have dealt with it and now I am back full force. Here are some pieces that I have created over the long winter months.
This is a piece I created for our EWV- Grungepaper rose swap- I love using Wendy's stamps and making the grunge paper roses.

We had a black and white tag swap on out All Things Tim Group Site and I created a few B&W tags- these were my favorites- 1 was a Johhny Cash tag, one was using Wendy's new clothing stamps and the other was using the new bottle stamp:











Next is a tag that I created for a "bird" swap- I used white paint to stamp the birds and DI's to color the tag:


I was also in a Tin Swap- I decided to create a beachy tin, since I live at the beach and its so much of who I am- I loved making this tin, I used Alcohol Inks to color the tin and Staz-on to stamp some images.

My friend and I went to a stamp show in Columbia in the spring and I wanted a cool bracelet to wear- I have never made any jewlery before- I used all of Tim's ideology pieces to decorate the bracelet- Ted from Stampers Anoyomous loved it!


This is my very first ATC- I was in an ATC swap on the EWV site - I created 6 of these ATC's using Wendy Vecchi's bottle and flower stamps- I stamped the bottle onto acetate and colored it with AI's.











These were 3 of the 9 pennants that I created for the ATT group- we had to create pennants using inspirational words- this was a lot of fun for me beacuse I love to display words like "Dream", "Hope" and "Love" around my room:









And last but not least was the hardest swap that I was ever a part of that was a Circus Book swap- we had to make 17 pages to send in- I never thought I would finish the clown pages, but I am so glad that I did. The book that we got was great and I loved using my Tim circus stamps!

Fantastic work, Dawn, love it! And, great work updating your blog! lol It does take time, doesn't it? Worth the effort, though!

Wow! Lots of wonderful pieces~busy Lady! My favorite is the Circus page, because I have one too and I love it! The book turned out great, but it was hard for me to stop once I got going. I had to make myself a page with a few other ideas that I could not fit on my Swap page. Thanks again for your sweet patience when I was late... U R a GEM!

Thanks guys, I appreciate the nice comments! I love my circus book too! Erin- how did you bind yours- I used 2 large book rings but the pages wont turn easily. I have to come up with a better way.
