Halloween!

When Witched go riding

And Black Cats are seen

The Moon Laughs and Whispers

'Tis Near Halloween.

October is just around the corner! One of my favorite times of the year!

 

 

 

"Steampunk Spells"

When I think Steampunk the first thing that pops into my mind are the Graphic 45 papers. The new line "Steampunk Spells" has really given me a lot of inspiration this year. Here are a couple of canvases I've created using some of these papers.

 

 

 

 

Thanks so much for looking!

 

How I Spent my Summer Vacation!

Hi Everyone! We're back from a wonderful 8 days at Lake Gogebic in Michigan's upper peninsula. We camped in one of the prime sites! I think people would pay big bucks for my room with this view!!!!!!!!

 

While we were there I had lots of time to work on what I love to do best!!!!!!

Here are some of my finished pieces!

Sunday Post Card Art "Altered Alphons Mucha"

Thanks Mandy for inviting me to host this weeks challenge "Alphons Mucha Altered"

He's one of my favorite illustrators from the Art Nouveau Period of Art History!

 

I'm anxious to see what everyone comes up with!

 

Positive Thoughts and Art Nouveau

I am totally fascinated by some of the illustrators of the Art Nouveau Period. I Especially love the work of Alphons Mucha and Rolf Armstrong. I find myself borrowing pieces of their illustrations and altering them to use in some of my postcard art.

 

 

 

These two images are by Rolf Armstrong. I added the brick paper for the background. Pieces of earrings that I got at the dollar store, ribbon, and some metal flowers from Tim Holtz.

Positive Quotes and drawing on the image. All these things, make me Happy:)

 

 

Amazingly Strange!

I'm always looking for inspiration for my Steampunk Art,

 sometimes I find it on Google images and sometimes Pintrest. When I saw the photo of this woman I thought how perfect, I don't know anything about her accept that she's great for this piece!:)

 

 

This is a 6x6 canvas. Some of the metal gears I used are from Tim Holtz, Seven Gypsy's and some are charms from the Jewelry department at Michael's.

 

 

Here are a couple of details!

Thanks for looking!

 

 

"The Path"

This piece is a 6x6 mixed media on canvas. The Quote was already on the paper, I just had design around it!

Her Colors

I've had such a wonderful response on a small piece that I sold a while back. Everyone seemed to love this quote, so I decided to use it in a couple more pieces.

Steampunk "Spells"

I was so excited when Graphics 45 brought out a new line of papers, the "Steampunk Spells Collection" combining two of my favorite subjects Halloween and Steampunk.  This piece is 6x6 mixed media on canvas, the metal gears are Tim Holtz, old key holes and keys I found at garage sales and flea markets. The wings are from a necklace I found at a dollar store. I love the hunt for the treasures I use in my art :)

 

 

Back to doing what I Love!!!!!

Finally a Sunday to Myself! Time in the studio finishing up some pieces that have been on the board.

I love these days I have for my art!!!!
