Trying Out A Totally Terrific Tape Tutorial

(I am a big fan of alliteration!)

I am also a fan of finding alternatives for pricey art supplies...

I have been fascinated by the washi tape craze, but have been discouraged by the cost.  Lately I have seen "create your own tape" posts and videos popping up around the internet and I've been meaning to give it a try.  When I saw that my friend Harmony (remember the coloring pages post?) had created a DIY artsy tape tutorial, it was the final push I needed!  Yesterday, while waiting for another project to dry, I created a rainbow of decorative tape!

If you haven't visited the Feed Your Soul Art blog yet...

What are you waiting for?!?

Seriously though, Harmony's site is jam packed with loads of inspiration and lots of step by step project ideas...

Enjoy!

Collage Papers + Coloring Pages = Fun Fun Fun!

Last week I mentioned my month long creative partnership with Harmony over at the Feed Your Soul Art blog.  In addition to sharing lots of mixed media goodness and providing endless inspiration, Harmony has generously created some very fun (and free!) coloring pages for her readers to download and play with!  I couldn't resist...

And in the spirit of artistic collaboration, I printed her coloring pages on top of my (free) collage papers before I added paint and colored pencil!

Do you want to play too?

Sponsor Love... Feed Your Soul Art

In an effort to spread some serious creative love, this month I am partnering with the very cool and always inspiring Feed Your Soul Art blog to boost the blogging goodness.

To kick off this month of fun and shared creativity, please let me introduce the very talented artist and generous soul behind Feed Your Soul Art...

Hello, I am Harmony, a mixed media artist, mom, and creator of the blog Feed Your Soul Art.  I try to live each day as creatively as I possibly can, which usually involves a lot of playful messiness.  My blog is a place where you can come and visit each day to get your daily dose of color, inspiration, and childlike play with all kinds of art mediums.  I believe that creating from your heart should be a daily practice, and I try to share as much of my own process with you.   I offer DIYs, techniques, inspiration, and share lots of fun stories about what it's like to try to run a business from my art while rocking this motherhood thing.  Its a tricky balance, but I love everything about it.  I'd adore to meet you, so please stop by and say hello. 

Today is the final day of Harmony's Labor Day Sale in her etsy shop!  She has lots of amazing handmade creations to choose from including original artwork, prints, journals and jewelry... Something for everyone!
