Wow, I did lots of art in May! I don't know how because I was out and about alot of it for my kids games. I'm sure that it kept me sane though! I'm looking forward to getting to some projects (larger than 1")! during the summer. I will have to try arting in the outdoors more. Which reminds me...have you seen/done any of Kira's journal challenges?! Check it out at Starchildartworks. You'll be glad you did. :) Lia

Is it March already? I cannot believe it! I almost forgot to do my monthly mosaic! Here is a sampling of my artwork for February. Most of them were little 1 x 1's, but a few other experiments as well.
There's nothing serious (thank goodness) going on here, just lots on my plate right now! Thank you for asking. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I need to recharge my batteries and I will be back early in the week if not sooner (you never know with me, if inspiration strikes. lol!).
Now go make something, Ok? Pick an image or color you like, sit down and start glueing or drawing or whatever. Follow your bliss. Don't worry about making mistakes. Just go with the flow. We are all creative inside. If you want to do it, chances are you got all that it takes right now. It's a new month, get started on one little piece. Before you know it, you can have a mosaic of color. One day at a time! Take care and I'll be back soon! xo Lia

New Look for March~ Thank you to Hope Wallace of Paper Relics for designing my new Banner!

Monthy Mosaic for AEM~is it December already????

Good Morning friends. Do you like my new banner? I couldn't figure out how to make one digitally and I don't have the time to learn, so I decided to take a "live" picture in my studio. This is a table I have over in the corner. Let me know if y'all like it. I'm still trying to figure out the sizing bit so it flushes across, but I will leave as is for now until I have time to play with it...besides I like the blue part and it's imperfect, kinda like me and my junk anyway!
Below is my "monthly mosaic" for November. I decided to make it all AEM pictures.
My husband looked at it this morning and asked if I did all that...I said, yes, bit by bit! A little every day and then voila. I learned alot this month for sure. It was fun participating in AEM with all of you. Everyone brings their own style to their artwork and it's so much fun to see the variety. Look over at the AEM flickr pool to see all the pictures. I'm sure we have done Leah proud. Pat yourselves on the back. Wipe off the paint, ink and glue first, ok? lol. Well, have a great weekend everyone and friends, lemme know if you like my new banner, k? xxoo Lia
p.s. check in next week 'cause I'm fixin' to do a drawing of one of my Art Everyday pieces. :)
