Okay, first on the list--new Etsy listings. I inspired myself to make another piece like the ones that I made for OWOH, but instead of using my painted papers, I had this scrapbook pack from Cosmo Cricket that I wanted to use. I really like the vintage feel of them with the patterns and most definitely, the colors--
This time I made it on a 6 x 6 very deep wrapped canvas (almost like a box). I really love using these, and I can only find them at Dick Blick.
Love these flower embellishments! Thanks once again to K & Co.!
And I went on to my other favorite "canvas"
I never never know where these are going to take me, but I had this old cloth tape measure, and the buttons just naturally followed--
Very fun!
I go into more detail with these over at my Etsy shop, if you want to know more : )
Okay, next on the list--a giveaway over at Tara's (Aquamarine Art)
Aren't these great?! These are cards of her artwork--Love her work!! So just go on over to her blog and leave a comment for her--that's all you have to do, and also wish her a Happy Birthday, which was on the day that she posted this. I hope you had a fun birthday Tara : )
And last of all, yes I've signed up for 2 new class---I just couldn't resist. When I was at Jen's blog, Sadie Inspired, she was talking about Christy Tomlinson's new class She Art that starts Feb. 28, which I never heard about. So I went to take a peek--
How could I possibly turn this one down!! And the price is right too!!
And after seeing all of you different bloggers talk about Alisa Burke's Sketchbook Delight combined with my recent obsession with sketching--how could I resist? I'm very excited about this one!!

Thanks for all the links-I'll check them out. I like those canvases with the big edges. Love Alissa Burkes sketchbooks-they are so wonderful.
The box is super beautiful! How I wish I have it. I can already imagine what special things I would like to place in there. And based on your narration, I am convinced that it's really an art from the heart. Great art work, thanks for sharing.
Beautiful art box! Such an extension of you...it flows...
Love the new box. I get my cradled boxes from Dick Blick too. Good prices and you are right, I haven't seen anyone else carry them.
Did you get a chance to see Moriah Butterfly's video of the crackling technique yet. She really does a good job of showing her technique.
I checked out the class you spoke of and it does look interesting.
such wonderful pieces! thanks for the links. off to go check them out.
How great!!!! I also hope to join you in Alisa's class as well!!! Can't wait to see what you create...and I will check out the other links you have posted as well. Thanks for sharing!

Wow, love your creations they are amazing. :)
Great, we'll be classmates at She Art :)
Love the new box.
You are a busy lady! I love the box with the measuring tape and buttons best. I wish I had more surface space on which to put things like this. I can see it filled with buttons!
Have fun at those classes!
Your new collage piece is beautiful. I love the colors and the reminder that spring is nearly upon us.
I am taking the Sketchbook Delight class and am glad you decided to join in on all of the fun there.
The She Art workshop look FABULOUS and I definitely will be signing up. Thanks for pointing me there :)
I just love the bold whimsy of your pieces! So much depth...so many wonderful ways for the eyes to dance around as they view!
Can't wait to see what you do for the classes! I'm still searching for one that calls out to me....I do love Alisa's style....maybe, just maybe....I'll be a student, too :)

Hi Diane! Thanks so much for visiting my blog and saying hello so I could find yours too! FABULOUS mixed media! You're quite the artist yourself chickie!
Love,Love,Love your new pieces. As usual I had to look closely at all the gorgeous details. Then I got side tracked with the links you shared for about an hour. Fun. I think I might sign up for that she art class. Thanks for sharing all the links. Glad you signed up for alissas class. Hope you like it..
The Chrissie class looks fab. I almost signed up for it (you know what a class addict I am), but I am trying to be a bit more controlled. I'm still taking one course and need to make th emost of that one!!
Love your art box! I am smitten with scrap book papers and just used some in a 6x6. Thanks for sharing the links. Sounds like your going to be busy with classes! What great fun! Hoping to take some new classes soon too! ~Theresa

Beautiful piece for etsy! Your art is always great!
Thanks for your recent comments on my blog! Glad you are enjoying the photo art! :)
Thanks so much for featuring my giveaway Diane :)
Well of course, I come for just a minute t o see what you have been doing and suddenly 30 minutes have passed because you leave a lot of roads to investigate. Roads that always make me think...I want to do that, and I am sort of doing some of it only in a different looking way which is fine. Anyway it feels good to get the creative energy flowing and feel excited like I do when I come to visit.
Your work is you but you know how to make it a tiny bit different each time. I always love how vibrant your work looks.
These two pieces are fantastic....love the colors you used and the tape measure and buttons just make the box......You are one busy talented lady....
Hugs
Your boxes are always AMAZING!! Love everything you do!

That is a beautiful box. I love it. I just got some cigar boxes and am debating on whether to do something with them or leave them as is because they are so beautiful already. Haven't decided but you sure did great. I love it! Sorry I'm late in commenting but I'm trying to catch up. Take care and have a great Sunday.
