Filet Of Soul!

#3 of 365

Filet Of Soul!

This is my third art project of 2011!

I made this ATC for a swap on
ATC's For All
called "I wish I were a Fish"


This is a multi layered collage with
torn paper, a fish image and 
found poetry from a text book page! 

I also added some acrylic paint spots
and gel pen ink.

Artist Trading Cards (or ATCs)
are miniature works of art about the same size
as modern baseball card or 2 ½ X 3 ½ inches.
Small enough to fit inside standard
card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets.
The ATC movement developed out of the mail art
movement and has its origins in Switzerland.
Cards are produced in various media,
including dry media (pencils, pens, markers, etc.),
wet media (watercolor, acrylic paints, etc.),
paper media (in the form of collage,
papercuts, found objects, etc.) or even metals or cloth.
The cards are usually traded or exchanged rather than sold

Everything is gonna be alright!!

#2 of 365

Everything is gonna be alright...


This is my second art piece for my
365 days of art project.
~~~ 
This is an 11x14 canvas...
Acrylic paints, text book page, song lyrics!
This canvas was hand painted by me!!
Song is Bob Marley's -
Everything is gonna be alright!
Lyrics are:
Rise up this morning,
Smiled with the rising sun,
Three little birds
Sit by my doorstep
Singing sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', This is my message to you...
Sayin' Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing
is gonna be all right!



I used an old book text page for the clouds.
 A crackle medium on the base color,
and bubble wrap for added design.

I have this canvas listed in my Etsy shop!

Good-bye 2010

#1 of 365

This is my first art journal page that I have made!
I am very pleased with how it turned out,
and I loved doing it....so watch for more of them!

This is my ode to 2010....a very bad year for me!!
I am glad to see it go, and I
am looking forward to a new start to my life in 2011!


I used acrylic paints, gel pens, and paint dabber!
The image is a photo of a poster I have hanging
in my bedroom...I took the picture
and cut out the girl for my page. 
I thought it fit how I feel about 2010!!

The words are lyrics from a song....
***
Song: Impossible
Artist: Anberlin

"You make my teeth clinch & my hands shake.
Did you ever see what you did to me?
~
Take what you want from me..."
