Gathering all of my eggs in one basket

I am going to attempt to gather all of my past projects and art tid-bits to post on this blog. That means lots of sorting and seeking. I am now blogging via laptop, and most of my older pics are hiding out on the family desktop. Keep your fingers crossed, and we'll see how long it takes me! LOL
For now here are some pics from recent projects.

Hooray for PanPastels!

I have been having way too much fun playing with my PanPastels! And just like the name says, these are pastels in a pan.

Bird Boy ATC

Bird Boy Originally uploaded by saunjune This little guy is the first ATC I made for Jennifer (the winner of the Art Lottery at North Coast art swaps). I used a sand filled texture paste for the base of the background, then sprayed with glimmer mist, then inked, and finally dripped a combination of thinned teal colored paints and let them run down. The plastic heart is from Heidi Swap, and inked with a wordy stamp I had laying around. The little cutie boy is from Lisa's Altered Art Collage sheets. You can find them here: http://www.lisasalteredart.com/
