Aaaah, I FINALLY had a chance to make some of MY art. The paper flowers and graphic design have taken up a lot of time lately, so as soon as the commissions slowed a bit, I carved out some time for myself to create my own art. I spent all day Wednesday and Friday making art. Friday was my birthday, and since no graphic design projects had immediate deadlines, I decided to spend my birthday doing what I love.
The paper flowers left me with some new skills in working with paper. I've got the paper-cut bug, I guess. So here is what I made on Wednesday:
This is semi-art related. In my art I try to have no fear in revealing myself. Through my art I am raw and exposed. Well, with this new do I feel unashamedly exposed... in a good way. I've had mixed reactions, of course, but it doesn't really matter. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time and I finally did it.
I want to extend my gratitude to all of you who read my blog. It means a lot to me. I can view stats on how many people read the blog, and I know a lot of you are reading but not "following." Please consider clicking that "join this site" box in the right collumn! You will show your support of me and my art, and it will make me very very happy!
Thanks for reading!
The paper flowers left me with some new skills in working with paper. I've got the paper-cut bug, I guess. So here is what I made on Wednesday:
This was the first. I am mostly experimenting with the new medium here. It is called "Bird Secrets" and it is 8"x10".
I also made a silkscreen print for the first time since the class I took.
This is 8"x10" and it is one of just five prints. Both of the above pieces are available to purchase at my etsy shop.
Here is the one I made on my birthday. I woke up early and laid in bed thinking of what to make for the longest time. I didn't even remember it was my birthday until Mat woke up and said, "Happy Birthday." I haven't attached the pieces to the background paper yet, because I'm debating whether or not I think it's complete.
It's called, "Guilty in the Woods" and it is 11"x14." I'm really loving this medium.
Last week was the first chance I had to use my art studio for MY art. It felt really good to be using this space for that. Really good.
Oh yeah, I shaved my head. (Buzzed to 1/8th of an inch, actually)

bravo brave girl...on the nu du, it's very becoming on you ...I too have always wanted to do that!!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about it and I think the guilty I'm the woods one need something else composition wise....It doesn't look finished for some reason, but I'm not sure why? I didn't see the woodgrain on the trees before either :) something in the trees above her head like more branches or leaves or something?
ReplyDeleteYeah, Carrie, I agree. That's why I said I wasn't sure if I was done or not. I'll work on it and post again! Thanks for the feedback, always welcome.
