Free Spirit

Hello and welcome back,

I made this mixed media 12x12 collage just for fun.  I was inspired by the gorgeous stencil "Free Spirit" from Prima.

I colored her with Shinhan and Copic markers. Then I began to build the collage around her.

It is my homage to Finnabair. I was lucky enough to take her classes this summer. I learned so much from her and she is truly beautiful inside and out. Love you Anna!!

Here you can see the dimension of the pieces. I used real feathers on her hair decoration.

Dream with your free spirit...

Thanks for taking a look. I will be back soon with some autumn and halloween projects.

Keep calm and create on until then.

Best week EVER!

HI again,

I haven't posted a new project in a while, but I have a good excuse. I had one of the best artsy weeks ever. Let me show you...

It started on Monday with the arrival of my prize package from Linda Ledbetter and the CC3 challenge crew. Woah! The look on my face says it all. Thank-you to Tim Holtz and Mario Rossi for the beyond generous prizes.

I couldn't believe my luck, I didn't have the two ink colors, the paper stash, or the sizzix die.

Then something even better happened...

Finnabair came to the Inked Stamper here in my hometown. I took 3 of the 4 classes she taught. Can I just say Anna is the most amazing beautiful person I've had the pleasure to meet.

Our first class...

Second class - end of a marathon art day.

Third class Thursday morning

Seeing my friend Debbie again was awesome. Xo

I made Anna a card thanking her for an awesome 2 days

An end of a great week, aaaaand my studio is trashed with about 5 different project almost done.

      Creative Chaos. Check out the sweet townhouse from SVGcuts.com

      I have to embellish yet, but the structure is all done. I will show you later...

That brings us back to Monday. A start of a new week and hopefully some new project ideas to create and share with you. Thanks for sharing my epic week with me. See you soon.
