Bouquet of Flowers

Happy Day to you!

 

I am having fun in the studio today making a BIG, huge mess!  Today, I'm working on a service assignement with all the other Brave Girls from the Art School. 

 

I have visions of this packaged up pretty in a box with a big giant bow on it, waiting on their doorstep.  A simple little bouquet of flowers for a friend.

This still needs some finishing touches before that happens but figured

I'd show you my messy desk today. 

 

Enjoy!

Listen with your Heart

So, I've been super busy!  Creating, being inspired and organizing.  YIKES!!!!  

So, my rubber stamps have been an issue for me for quite some time.  Actually, forever.  So I decided to take the plunge and set up an excel database for them.  I'm still in the process of doing it but so far.......(drum roll please)........479 stamps are cataloged.  I still have all of my wood mounted stamps and all my acrylic but the red rubber unmounted are done.  LOL  Once I get it all done, I'll be sure to show off my organization skills.  

Now, for the being inspired part....I am LOVING blurfing!  Yes, you guessed it!  Surfting blogs!  I have been following some amazing creative people.  I end up starting to read one and then I just get lost in about 20 and then before I know it, I've got so many windows up, I can't see the names.  But the ideas and inspiration abound.  So if you are reading this, thank you for your inspiration.  

The creativity...well, here it is: 

 

All the flowers were handmade by ME!!!  I am having so much fun again.  I can't believe I stopped playing for almost 2 years.  How silly of me...sighs....oh well, can't go back.  I can only move forward.  And that I am!  I hope I was able to inspire just a little bit of your creative soul today.  

Sneak Peek

So here's a little sneak peek of my current project.  My inspiration came from Cari Fennell I know the picture is rather dark but it's part of the intrigue.  :)  Once I have the project complete, I'll post all the colors and products I used. 

It seems many stores around me don't have much in the way of Prima flowers so I had to dye my own and make them work for me.  I still have a bunch more to do on this project but I need to keep a schedule and post every day.

Enjoy and be sure to check out Cari's site.  She is very talented and may even inspire your creative soul today!
