AEDM, 12 Days of Cuffmas, and Gnome Madness

I have tons of stuff to share with you today.  First, I want to let you know about the Twelve Days of Cuffmas.
From December 1st – December 12th I will be donating $10.00 from every cuff purchased at the site to Heifer International.  Each cuff includes free gift wrap if you would like and will [...]

AEDM and Art on the Farm

This weekend was Art on the Farm and boy did the gorgeous weather bring people out!   My sales were still less than I’d hoped for, but it was still a good weekend.  I had people who had bought cuffs from me last year tell me how many compliments they’ve received, and one woman bought another [...]

AEDM – Going OK So Far

Here’s my first real AEDM post.  I’ve been doodling everyday so far, and I’ve mostly remembered to bring my camera with me when I go out.  I did get a cool photo of a smokestack near me that I wouldn’t have since it was on my way to work.
Mostly I’ve noticed that I’m just outside [...]

Art Every Day Month 2009

You may remember that last year during November I participated in Leah Piken Kolidas‘ Art Every Day Month project.  It was so much fun (and challenging) that I’m doing it again this year!  Once again, I’m focusing on non-metal creative endeavors, but instead of doing one big project (like last year’s Inspiration Cards), I’m doing [...]

Art Every Day Month – Final Thoughts

I’ve had a few days now to mull over what I accomplished during AEDM and I’m satisfied with the results.  I know that I ended up biting off more than I could chew, but mostly that was due to having a ton of other non-AEDM things happen in the beginning of November.  It was a [...]

Art Every Day Month – Post #8

Well, it’s the last day of November, aka Art Every Day Month, andI actually got all my cards finished!  I did end up dropping the fifth suit, but I managed to keep six cards for each of the other four suits.  I’m going to do a wrap-up post (after I have time to digest everything [...]

Art Every Day Month – Post #7

ere are some images that I spent this afternoon photo collaging.  “Wash Away Unwanted Energy” and “Heal Yourself” will have some embellishments added before they are complete and all the cards need to be put on their backings, these are just the images from my computer that I printed.  I’ll work on them some more [...]

Art Every Day Month – Post #6

Here are some more cards that I’ve finished.  I took photos of the finished cards that I posted last time, “Walking on Coals” and “Learn.”
Then I finished the Earth suit with “Dig a Hole” and “Explore a Cave.”
And, finally, I have “Swim Upstream” and “Bring Light to Darkness.”
I am happy with the watercolor painting that [...]

Art Every Day Month – Post #5

I’ve been working on the cards feverishly, but I don’t think that I’ll be able to get them done within the confines of November.  I definitely have to either drop a suit (Spirit) or drop at least one card from each group.  As it is, one of the cards I’ve spent a lot of time [...]

Art Every Day Month – Post #4

Yesterday I got five of the Earth cards pretty much done.  I just need to decide whether or not I’m actually going to put titles on them.  Then I need to prep the fire cards, sketch out the rest of the cards I have ideas for, and then start work on the Fire and Air cards [...]
