Well--kind of new. I'm taking images of my artwork and making new art pieces out of them. This is something that I just started in 2010 and shared with all of you. I know it's nothing new to do this, but it was for me!
And what else did I learn in 2010? I've learned that I actually enjoy writing, and just like anything else, the more you do it, the better you get at it. I rather enjoy sitting down and writing about my everyday happenings, even if no one's reading.
And I also learned that I love to draw faces and really enjoy making whimsical sun faces, and that other people like them!
So I took these 2 very popular guys--
And made my new pieces starting with reversed 8 x 10 gallery wrapped canvases to make shadowboxes (something that I love to do)
And made some embellishments with chipboard flowers and wooden hearts--
Assembled them, and added even more embellishments--buttons and vintage spools
These spools just arrived in the mail the other day from a very sweet lady--a customer of mine who had the good sense to save these--thanks Cyndee!
And you can find these 2 pieces at my Etsy Shop now!!
Okay, so about New Year's Resolutions--I usually don't do these, because as we all know, we usually break them, but I do have one for this year--I am going to appreciate every day. I know this sounds silly, but I tend not to do this. For instance--it's January, and ALWAYS in January and February I complain about the weather and can't wait until Spring, and then Spring comes and I wonder what happened to the time. So I WILL appreciate every day, even if I have a dentist appointment--I WILL appreciate that day too.
Oh and one more resolution--this is the year that I will organize my house. Get rid of the years of accumulation--I was destined for a Hoarder's episode. As a matter of fact, I've already started a little bit, and I love that feeling of letting go of worthless objects. What are you doing in January that makes you happy??
And then I decreased my art images and put them on 5 x 7 canvas panels--
And made some embellishments with chipboard flowers and wooden hearts--
Assembled them, and added even more embellishments--buttons and vintage spools
