If only I had wings..(FAMM Nature challenge)


I have been playing round with ultra sheer lutradur lately and this piece uses painted lutradur burnt with a fabric master tool. I have layered the lutradur over various fabrics and added some purple pansies from my garden. The stamped images are from Scrollswork and have stamped them on tissue paper. The challenge over at Fiber Arts Mixed Media is to use elements from nature.

Incorporating the pansies is really interesting and the color is so intense!

Hi again! I just wanted to thank you for letting me know about the "my webpage" link to Vista Cards - I will have to figure out how to fix that one, but thank you for pointing it out! Beautiful art by the way, I love both the picture and the piece! Kristin xo

Fabulous!

I am so thrilled that you are joining The Artistic Mother's Group.

We will be allowing two weeks for each project. But if you get behind, please don't worry. Just keep working a little each day. The whole point of this group is to develop the habit of doing art each day. It is also so we can encourage one another and be an accountability group. I personally need the accountability part of it. Knowing that others are coming to see what I'm up to is very motivational; otherwise, I may not finish it on my own. Some projects may be easier for you than others and may allow you to catch up. But if you don't, don't get discouraged. Just keep on going. This is a low pressure group. I want everyone to have fun and also enjoy visiting one another.

And please do a blog post about your participation in the group inviting others to join. Please give a link to my blog for those who may wish to join so they can come here and get the details and sign in. I am keeping a master list of all participants.

Each week do a post of your progress as you go through the book. When posting each week, please mention the group with a link to my blog. That way people can go to my blog and see the list of the other participants and click around to see their progress as well.

Since our group has grown so much, instead of having to put all of the links in each post or on your sidebar, I have made a button for the group. Just grab my button and put that in your sidebar. I will keep the list of all participants in my sidebar.

Please check my blog often for tips, notes of encouragement and exciting news. And please go and read my previous posts because they contain resources that will help you get a good start with the group.

Please also go back and read all of the posts I have written about The Artistic Mother group, starting near the end of February because there is a lot of good information in those posts that will help you get a good start with us.

And one last thing. Please come and check the blog list of participants on a regular basis and visit and comment as much as you can. We want to all encourage one another.
