art every day

Backlogged | Another Puppy and a Bit of Rain

I owe you two doodles from yesterday and the day before.  Well here they are.

Lfe just got away from me. 

I will show you the one I'm working on today...in tomorrow's post.  Then I will be all caught up on posting these.

The first one is from 2 days ago, the second is yesterday's doodle.

I may have had some help from photoshop with the letters.  Eh- sometimes I need help, this was one of those days.

-------------------

This is an image based on a photo on facebook.  This lovely lady and her pup's pictures always make me smile.  She loves dogs and so I thought I'd make her and LB my doodle for the day!

 

Welcome Creativity Lovers!

Hello and welcome to my 365 project!  My project is as the title of the blog suggests: Art Every Day. I'm making something each and every day for a year.  Some paint, some thread, food, flowers, scraps of paper, and lots of photographs.  Really--no rules.

I aim to make these projects as accomplish-able as possible, so whatever artfully fits into my day makes it as my Art Every Day!

New Friends:

Lots of new folks reading and emailing me lately…LOVE.THAT!  Here's a little guide for any of you new reader's out there. First of all I'm so happy you're visiting!! I hope you come back often and become a new friend. Also, just in case you want to know a little bit about me and where I’m coming from, you can read a little bit about me here.

I don’t usually have something planned for the day, although at times I do have a project I am or want to work on.  I have a few running projects like 100 anonymous inspiration cards and 100 Fleur-de-Lis that I pick up and put down as life goes on around me.

Right now I have less than 90 days left of 365!  Anyone that wants to send me a medal or a cookie, FEEL FREE!  This has been fun, but CHALLENGING as heck sometimes!  I have fallen short, I have exceeded my expectations, I have more to do; it will have taken me longer than 365 days to finish this 365!

At the end of every post I ask “What did you make today?”  I mean it!  What did you make today?  Was it a meal?  A photograph? A painting? Pot a plant?  Color in a coloring book?  What did you take from less-than and make into MORE?  E-mail me with your creations so I can share your LINKS, PHOTOS, CREATIVITY and Community LOVE!

Thanks for visiting and happy browsing!

 

Henna Inspired Peacock Art Every Day 268

Today a friend from work asked me to draw on the inside of her cup.  It is double walled and the inside comes out...here is what I came up with: (Nadia does beautiful henna so I thought I would do a henna inspired peacock)

Queen Bird Assemblage WIP Art Every Day 240-241

So here is the piece I started working on Friday with my friend Terry.  I did a little on it yesterday and today too!

When we got together we didn't know what we would be doing, we just wanted to have an art playdate.  Terry mentioned she was having a block on assemblage, so I said, let's go for it.  Here is a peek at my piece. 

Terry showed me secret aluminum foil technique...well it was a secret to me until yesterday...and I used alcohol paints for the first time!

Lots more to do! Stay Tuned!

Party Art Every Day 198

The only 'arty' thing I accomplished today was wrapping this gift for one of my favorite one-year-old little guys...Hunter!  The name and circles are sewn together like a little bunting banner.  I ::heart:: bunting!

Altered Calendar Art Every Day 177

Made this today with my friend Terry.  It's not ahhhhhmazing, but it's simple and cute.  Terry's turned out waaaaay better than this one. It does have a few neat bits.

A: Pages from an old dictionary

B: A little goldfish action

C: The inside of a security envelope with window

D: A stamp from like 1971 from a set of office stamps (these were the coolest!)

I just covered the inside of the book with a bit of pretty paper and some recycled 'stamps'

I have a few more I am making, I'm excited to see how they come out!

Portrait of a Friend From the Past Art Every Day 162

Soooooo, today I sketched from a picture on my friend's site Smunch.  You might remember her, she did the pictures of Harper and Xav.  Lauren is adorable, and I tried to catch her spirit in my drawing, in my own way.
