Art Journal Entry

Hello everyone! Here are a couple of journal pages I created.
Title: Hold On

It symbolizes the passion I want to continue to have & keep in my life, which is art. Art has given me the freedom my imagination needs everyday to soar. This is something I don't ever want to lose, so I will always "Hold On". I hope you do the same with all the passions you have in life.

Thank you Janine!

I recently won a sweet giveaway hosted by Janine of http://joinjanine.blogspot.com/. Her giveaway was in celebration of reaching her 50th post among other goodies. She asked to choose a favorite of any of her past works. I chose this piece titled: The Bookshop. Not only is it a lovely painting, it also reminds me of being in the bookshop all the time. I love it Janine! Thanks again!

Thank you Nicola of http://nicola-visualdiary.blogspot.com/ for passing on "The Bella Sinclair Award"! Nicola is a fantastic artist. I enjoy visiting her blog & seeing her imagination at work.

Feeling a bit Wicked

It's been awhile since I've done a little cutie witch. I was just filled with the magical Halloween spirit that was itching to be released.



Title: The Witching Hour

Love Yourself

Hello fellow bloggers! I wanted to once again thank you all for the warm and touching support you've constantly sent my way. It means so much. :)

Here is my latest creation. Have you ever felt like you've just painted someone you might know? Or at least might have met or seen somehow in your life before? Well, I sure had that feeling when I finished this painting. She was painted completely from my imagination. I always enjoy seeing the end result. Sometimes it's what you've imagined and sometimes not. It's a good thing either way.

The sky holds no bounds for your creativity.

The end of the rainbow is not as far as it seems.

You are the keeper of keys to all possibilities.

Following your heart will lead you to your destiny.

The person you want to be already exists.

Embrace Life. Live the Dream. Love Yourself.

Hugs,
Lisa

Sew Inspired

It's been awhile since I've done any stitching. I forgot how relaxing it could be. It still is my overall favorite crafty treat to make. Here are two altered art quilts I created using fabric prints of my original paintings. They are both completely hand stitched.

The first quiltie is a bookmark (SOLD) I created in a crazy quilt style. It measures 2.25" X 6" (Not including decorative yarn). I used multiple fabrics, felt, crocheted flowers and sequins.




The second quiltie is an ACEO (Art Cards, Editions & Originals). For those of you that don't know, I began sharing my art in 2005 on ebay in ACEO format. The ACEO size is 2.5" X 3.5".




This mini art quilt was created using burlap, felt, sequins & beads.




You can find more info on this ACEO quiltie up for auction now on ebay.




Happy Tuesday to you all!
