FrANCE AND iCE RESIN mIXED mEDIA TEAM

Well dear friends, it has been far to long since I have posted. I was working daily for almost 2 months in preparation for my trip to France, and the I was away for 2 weeks. I returned home yesterday and am suffering some nasty jet lag. I have so much to share. Im going to rest for the next day and then hit my b1og hard. but here are a few pix to let you know what Ive been up to. WELL I gues no Pix. Blogger will not allow me to post pix. It says Im out of room. Anny suggestions on how to fix this?

flower girl

My baby brother(20  years difference!!} got married yesterday.  It was a beautiful wedding in the mountains of Colorado, my favorite place to be.

                                          Miss Olive was the Flower Girl.

She did a great job.  She did get a bit board and wanted to take some photos of the wedding

I guess she thought her boots were the most exciting thing going on during the vows!!

Ice Resin design team?

Well.. I have submitted my application for the 2012-2013  Ice Resin design team.  I applied last year and I guess we all know how that turned out!! I use to get my feelings hurt when i was turned down for something.  Especially when it pertained to my art.  I now take each event as a learning experience.   If I dont make it, I just was not right for the position.  But it gives me an opportunity to get better at filling out applications and putting myself out there.   Im excited about the possibilities but if not, Im sure the urniverse will present something else...it always does.  Here are the pix I submitted.

Last stop on the Blog Hop.

Well I am the end of the road for the Industrial chic Blog Hop kicking off Susan Lenart Kazmer website slk industrial chic.  I received a few of Susans new pieces several weeks ago.

I did not want to make jewelry.  These new pieces are so fun, they lend themselves to so much more.  I took a class from Susan at Artfest on journal making and I took a monster doll class from Junker Jane.  I had so much fun in each class and felt the styles mixed well...so here is what I came up with....

An Industrial Chic Monster Bunny!! I  just used scraps of fabric and no pattern.  I used one of Susans focal pieces for the eye and chain for the mouth.  I took apart  a piece of chain and used part of  it as the nose.  I think it came out pretty cute.  Maybe it can be the IC mascot!!!

If you missed any of the amazing pieces along the way, go back and take a look at past blog posts.  Thanks again Susan for creating such a fun and versatile line for artist to use!  we cant get enough

Ice resin bra

 My ice resin bra in Cloth paper scissors. 

Holy Cow..Im in print!!

Ive been published!  What an amazing feeling.  I decided at the first of the year that I was going to take more chances with my art work. Submitting art work to my favorite magazines was part of putting myself out there.  Cloth Paper Scissors was the first magazine I submitted work to.  I posted pictures to the website and was thrilled when they asked to see my work in person.  That was enough for me, but when I got the word that my work would be published, I was over the moon.  I have been to our local book store checking daily just to see if for some unexplained reason, the magazine arrived early.  But alas, it has not.  I have a digital subscription  to CPS and noticed that the September issue was available for view.  I got my first glimpse of my work in print tonight.  The photo is beautiful and I could not be more pleased.  Thank you Cloth Paper Scissors for making a dream come true!!!
