Buckle Up & Get Ready For Some Fun!

Do you love stencils?  I do!

So, when Jessica Sporn asked me and a bunch of other artists to "test drive" some of her new stencils for Stencil Girl Products, I was raring to go...

Starting on December 6th, and continuing once or twice a month through June 2013, we'll show you how we used her stencils, and you're invited to play along too.

I will be sharing my creations on January 3rd and April 18th. 

(Stencils are such a great way to rev the creative engine and I'm really looking forward to taking Jessica's for a spin!)

To see all of her models, get the schedule, and learn more about how you can take them for a test drive too, 

hitch a ride over to Jessica's blog!

p.s. Just in case you need some extra fuel to get your motor running to her blog, Jessica is having a giveaway on each of her test drive posts!  What are you waiting for?  Gas up and go!

Have You Got A Minute?

Frosty Window Art

Then you have time to make some art!

This time of year always seems to get craaazy busy, but I still think it's important to squeeze some art making into a hectic schedule.

Toaster Strudel Art

One of the easiest ways to cram some creativity in, is to think outside the canvas and get a bit inventive with materials!

Steamy Mirror Art

I truly believe that making time for art every day (even if it is just a minute or two), can ignite the imagination and keep the creative spark alive (so that you're fired up and ready for when you have more time)!

Do you have any tips or tricks for fitting art into a busy schedule?

It's Art Every Day Month (AEDM).  

In honor of that, each Friday in November I will be sharing a round-up of my artistic endeavors for the week.

This Week...

...I continued to work on my home painting projects.  (Yep, kj... Those are actually stairs in my house.  Thank you so much for your kind words about them!)  

I also started a new drawing/painting (above)... Since I am still in the process of unpacking and setting up my new studio, I am limited with the supplies I'm using right now.  I'm thinking about adding something else to this, but I'm not sure... I've set it aside for now.  (I might have to follow the advice I usually give to others, and print out a copy and try what I'm thinking on that one...)

Although I have created art every day, it is not as much as I'd like...  In addition to a very hectic schedule right now, I have spent a lot of time on the not-so-glamorous (but-very-much-necessary) chore of backing up files.

I hope that you've had a good week, and have found some time for art and other fun stuff!  I'd love to know what you've been up to... Please feel free to let me know in the comments, or even share a link!

This Week Has Been All About...

Color!

Color on the stairs,

Color on the walls,

And, color on my desk!

As the weather outside turns gray and dreary, I find myself craving color... I have found that the best way to fight a seasonal slump is to surround myself with 

bright, vibrant, gloriously happy hues!

How do the changing seasons affect your art?

Makin' Art Everyday

I believe the road to inspiration begins with creating some type (any type) of art every day.  It doesn't matter if you dash off a doodle or pour yourself into a painting... A little bit of art each day is good for the imagination.  (Even 15 minutes a day can make a difference!)

Today marks the beginning of Art Every Day Month (AEDM).  In honor of that, each Friday in November I will be sharing a round-up of my artistic endeavors for the week.
