The making of a paper puff (tissue paper flower)

....and now I'm really wired!"
Dora had a blast on Christmas morning, playing with all the catnip toys and romping around in the tissue and wrapping paper!
Posy Valentine Card made using miniature balls of tissue paper glued onto card, and embellished with pen and ribbon.
Finally, I can reveal the completed commissioned painting. There have been little snippets as I have gone along, but just portions because I was always worried the happy couple might see it!
This was not an easy painting - unlike the one for my friend Thienhuong which is just flowing. This painting involved some tough choices, the hardest of which was painting over the chequerboard floor I had so paintstakingly assembled.
Despite the struggle, in the end I found my way. Strangely enough, I found my way by returning to "my way". I started this painting with things I never do... such as a pencil sketch of the figure and a planned idea of what the finished piece would look like. Of course, the figure is not where it was in pencil; the head is entirely different and the planned ideas went out the window. It was a lesson in trusting intuition and leaving planning for my analytics at work.
In the end it is beautiful, it is generous, it is very special.
Materials: Golden Fluid Acrylics, C'aran Dache Neocolor I, light molding paste, gel medium, clear granular gel, collage, stamping & embossing powder and pen.
Surprisingly enough, it turned out that Stella was my helper elf yesterday while I was putting up the tree. She had fun jumping and rolling in the tissue paper and managed to snag one of the fake birds I put on the tree.
Believe it or not, Floydd and Simon have shown little interest in the tree. They didn't even come over to examine it when Larry first drug it into the house and put it in the stand!
Eventually it will probably come to their attention that there are cool, shinny, dangly things to play with, but I'm praying this lackadaisical attitude toward the decorations continue. I have taken the precaution of course of putting all the breakable ornaments toward the top of the tree!
This is an 8x10" mixed media collage on canvas board. I used many materials and tools: watercolor & acrylic paints; inks and stains; stamps & stencils; scrapbook, magazine & tissue papers; markers & permanent pens; and a sticker. It was a real adventure for me!

Week 232 Assignment 2 for Take A Class With Dave and Dave.
Paper Open to interpretation.
Kathy and her mother save wrapping paper, boxes and tissue paper. After every birthday, holiday, etc. the stuff gets sorted, bagged and saved. There are bags and bags of it in the attic, which, had it not been so hellishly hot up there, I thought about shooting. Instead I grabbed a handful and just shot those.

like most children - she's enjoying playing with the wrapper more than her new toy! Also you'll see a big tub of sugar which is oddly placed in the living room. My mom does a lot of cooking at the holidays and sometimes she'll walk out to look at the television or answer the phone and bring the mixing bowl with her or the tub o sugar or flour... and there it sits.
"In June 2009, Camille was diagnosed with an Intracranial Ependymoma situated in the fourth ventricle between the cerebellum and the brain stem at the base of the brain. The tumour is currently pressing against the cerebellum and brain stem making surgery too dangerous. The treatment plan is to offer chemotherapy to shrink the tumour away from these two areas so surgery can take place. Chemotherapy started on 23rd July 2009 and is planned to last for 12 months or more."
Camille's mum belongs to an online community that I've been a part of for a long time. We've all been through a lot of things together, births, marriages, break ups, make ups, but I don't think anything has touched us quite as much as Camille's story.
A group of us also belong to the flickr community and wondered if there was anything we could do here to help raise awareness. Can I please, please ask you to take a look at this group and become a member and invite your contacts. It would also be great if some of the pictures reached explore so if you could comment or fave (preferably both) this would really give the appeal a boost.
Can I also ask you to look at Camille's website and read Martin's (Camille's dad) blog. What Camille's family are going through is truly heartbreaking. Please, please do what you can.
Thank you for reading.
a bit more orange and and a festive garland. just added the down comforter, although it got warmer here, so I'm thinking I jumped the gun!

I created this stamped candle and matching card set as a holiday gift. I used slightly non-traditional versions of red and green, so the candle could be used year round. It was a lot of fun to make and I am so pleased with the results!

Holiday Stamped Candle and Matching Card Set
Thanks for looking! :-)
Fraternities and Sororities at OSU once again outdid themselves, creating amazing yard decorations (pomping tiny pieces of tissue paper). Moving parts, music and narration was synched to the display- VERY IMPRESSIVE!

I've crumpled the paper in preparation for gluing it to the paperboard. I like the added texture this gives the finished postcard, plus it helps hide mistakes!
Note: I ran out of pretty tissue paper, so the paper I'm using throughout this tutorial is a paper tablecloth I found on clearance at my local party store.

I was in awe of Cathey Love's Dragon Eye project when she posted it on Facebook, so we had to try it at McNeil. It's in the rotation now!
We drew dragon eyes, went over that drawing with Sharpies, added shaded colored pencil accents, and then the real fun happened - we used bleeding tissue squares to add color! I've never used bleeding tissues before, but I'm hooked. What a fun way to add color. For the last step, we added chalk pastel to the eye.
I really love how each eyes is as individual as the artist making it.
My beautiful cousin never ceases to surprise and amaze me with her talents. She sent me a box full of goodies (literally) over the holiday: homemade chocolate chip cookies! :)
She pays close attention to details in all her letters, packaging, presents, etc. I love how she stamped her cookies with her seal.
