Mark your calendars and get ready to come down to Pam's studio in Midway, Georgia! Jeri Gale and I have planned a really fun shopping and visiting day for all of our art friends. We want to share our news of good fortune of being selected as two of the artists that will be featured on the 7th season of "That's Clever" to air on HGTV and DIY! No kidding! There will be whimsical art everywhere - it will be hanging on trees, on the deck, on bushes, on the dock, on the shop, on the walls in the studio - you get the idea - Art in the Yard! You will even get to see the projects that were completed on the shows! Dress comfy, dig out those flip flops, and come on down to Liberty County. We promise you will have so much fun!
The date is Saturday, April 26, 2008 from 10-4!

How fun it was to share spaces #17 and #18 at LAA' s Art in the Park! (Jeri, how many shows does this make for us?) It was so great to see so many familiar faces (like Darlene Clark) and to meet new art lovers, like Darlene's friend Susan from Sandersville.

100 Pages Project Submission

100 Pages Project Submission

100 Pages Project

The "100 Pages" project was designed by Lisa Vollrath. The premise behind the project is that if you gave a group of artists the same image and asked them to include it in a work of art, what would they create? How different would these works of art be? According to her website, she began the project in 2002 with 24 original participants. She reopened the project in 2007. I took the challenge and a picture of my reviewed and accepted entry is above. Be sure and check out all of the other entries to date. You can find the entries and information at www.lisavollrath.com and/or www.gomakesomething.com. You will have to register at each of her sites, but it well worth it!

Tutorial - How to Make an ATC Makeup Mirror

Thought it would be fun to share some art projects. Lori Roberts, who is a member in one of the Yahoo Groups I participate in, was the first person who introduced me to the website called www.Photoshow.com. She had produced a tutorial for us. I absolutely love this website and I hope you will find time to check it out. You can produce tutorials, shows, etc. for friends, family, work, whatever. Let me know what you think. This tutorial takes making Artist Trading Cards to a whole new level - it becomes a piece of functional art! Enjoy!

Thinking of You Card Swap Project

Thinking of You Card Swap Project

Thinking of You Assemblage Card for a Card Swap

I participate monthly in a rubber stamping card swap at one of my favorite rubber stamp stores called Cutting Edge Crafts, located in historic Port Royal, South Carolina. Shelia Barnes is the owner of this wonderfully welcoming shop! This is the card that I produced for that swap (I believe it was for January or February). I thought I would also create a tutorial for her and her stampers while I was learning to use Photoshow. Hope you will check it out! Also, while you are at it, check out Shelia's website: www.cuttingedgecrafts.com. She holds many classes, has many incredible stamps and supplies (including my line of rubber stamps), and is absolutely one of the nicest people I have ever met!

Websites That I Think Are Great and I Would Love for You to Check Out!

Either through self-discovery or sharing by others, I have been compiling lists and lists of Wonderful Websites that I hope you will also enjoy knowing about. I needed to put them in a "neat little space" instead of just in my "favorites" list or in the many journals or scraps of paper piled next to my computer. I know that this list is going to get very long. Also, if you know of any that you find wonderful, please pass them along and I will add them to the list! www.behospitable.com (I know that this is an advertisement, but I really love the premise of it. I love performing random acts of kindness and acts of "paying it forward", and now there is a place to read about others doing the same - Let's fill up their map!
