Pictures and a post...

More pics...

Inspired...

Was thinking about my art room today and decided to post pics. Unfortunately for you I have NOT spent time figuring out what order these will post...so you'll have to put the pieces together. I am very thankful for my room and hope to spend more time there soon. Okay, there a Clementine Hunter painting I have from a local folk artist. One of the neatest ladies I've ever met...quite a story and her work is available CHEAP. Like $10-20 paintings. Let me know if interested.

Then, there's the piece of samsonite luggage I painted. Was supposed to coordinate w/ Vera Bradley pattern, but I do not like this piece. I'm going to repaint it. Still like the concept though. I'm buy samsonite luggage at all garage sales I find.

You'll see "areas" of my artroom. All with interesting things that have a story.

See my messy TABLE. This hides the fact that I have a beautiful piece of PURPLE formica in the garage waiting to go on the table top.

I took MY copy of my favorite book when I was a child and framed it in a refurbished garage sale frame. Cheap, easy and a cool idea. Mr.Pine's Purple House is the name of the book. classic.

Here's a mantra I illustrated months ago. This is your's Melanie. CHOICE.

This pic of these clear Wal Mart containers is for Melanie too. Love these things. Perfect to showcase your colorful beads.

This is my WIP (work in progress) IDEA BOX. Bought the box at Michael's and added these wooden "legs". Of course I have too many ideas and I cannot decide how I want my idea box to look LOL.

And, this is a pic of a sign I bought at Canton. Love this saying. Of course, I wish it said she IS and artist and the world IS her canvas. "was" is a little too past-tense.

Were you inspired by my post? Leave me a comment and there may be a prize.

I'm Back...no, REALLY...I'm Back.

I'm kindof surprised they didn't shut down my blog since it's been so long since I've posted. My sister-in-law wrote the nicest things about me on her blog...and is doing a cool contest. THANKS to all of her readers who are checking things out !!! GOOD LUCK !!!

This picture is a recent name design...an example of what KIM's readers can win :)

Today is the first day in a LONG time that I really wanted to paint. I didn't get around to it...but the feeling was so nice. Think I'll THINK tonight about what I want to paint tomorrow :)

I will start a contest soon myself, so keep checking in.
