November 2011

I was reminded this evening about November being a special month in which art, blogging, and art journaling are all encouraged as a daily activity. I have participated in Art Eevryday Month a number of times but have not been involved with the other two projects previously. While art is almost an everyday piece throughout the year, I have decided to try to share more of my projects with you this month. I might even try to show you some of the activities from the past few months just because I have not yet shared them.


Today's art involved further prepararion for a small trade show I will be participating in on November third in our local senior citizen's home. Some of the newer things I am working on is more tags. A few are for Christmas and others are just something lovely. The butterfly tags need to be cut out yet. Hopefully there will be some time tomorrow.

for the love of purple: I've just created a new set on flickr titled purple. If you love purple you should check it out. I especially love to view the slideshows of my sets.
Purple - about spirit.

This butterfly was a photo of mine I'd scanned and then adjusted on corel photo paint.

Doodles and words: Today was a long day with driving and meetings. I did have lots of time for writing on paper for collage or doodling over and I also started on some doodles. Once again I was inspired by the art of Jude. Her doodles, as all things, inspire me to keep creating and trying new things.
This piece was done entirely while driving. the roads were a bit rough and I didn't get the lines very good at some places. I'll play with it more another day.





This doodle was started while sitting at the meeting. I am often uncertain what to do for the doodles. It is not something that comes naturally to me. Maybe as I experiment with it more I will feel more comfortable with it.
