                                                   Thanks everyone, Fear No Color!

Please comment on a chance to win a book!

Hey folks, if you have commented before you can comment again for a chance to win a copy of my new book, Acrylic Techniques in Mixed Media, I need a few more comments to select a new winner!
Thanks for all the great comments.

No. 3 book Giveaway!

Please leave a comment on your current art obsession, it could be a book, an artist, a technique, or a medium. Then I will draw a third winner to receive a copy of my book, Acrylic Techniques in Mixed Media, Layer, Scribble, Stencil, Stamp.

I thought I would share my 5 year old Grandson's favorite art obsession, fold-overs! Remember these? Fold and piece of paper in half, drop some paint on it, fold it together again and then open it back up. You never know what you are going to get. To date, Phoenix has made about forty of these at my house. Yesterday he made a couple of really large one's with the addition of spray ink. I think the large piece's will look great framed.

Second Book Winner is chosen!

Thanks to everyone for visiting my blog, there have been some great comments. I will be trying a few of them out for myself.  The second winner is Penelope! But don't worry folks, I will be having another drawing next week! Look for next weeks comment question. The above piece of art is from my book, this piece started out life as a homely piece of orange polka dot fabric. Isn't layering great!

First book Winner

The first book winner went out today in the mail, all the way to Australia!

I hope you enjoy the book Diane.

Book Giveawy No. 2

Hi Everyone, time to giveaway another copy of my book. This time please leave a comment about a technique that involves an art material that is sticky, like tape, glues, contact paper etc. When I get 25 comments I will draw a name and give a another book away.

One of my quick sticky techniques is to purchase hole reinforcements from the dollar store. Then paint the sheets with acrylic paints,  I then added a little stenciling and some stitched lines with a tracing wheel.

You can then add the circles to any collage project or journal page.
