Quiet Moments
My thoughts typically turn to birds, nesting, and Spring while in the grip of a Michigan winter. As a result, my art heads in the same direction. This assemblage consists of an old box mounted to a piece of exotic wood, collaged with vintage and decorative papers, and adorned with natural elements such as a…

Sunday 15 January
This is a large piece using acrylics and waxes, ironed with a hot iron, overpainted on an old well used canvas.
It looks kind of raw up close, but I didn't like to touch it in case I wrecked it (as usually happens).…

Swiss Designer Steals My Lighting Design
Hello, everyone. Some of you may or may not remember this, but a few years back I posted images of a teabag chandelier on Loving Mixed Media, Etsy, and a few other sites. The design was a hit and in fact, my Visual Arts teacher has the original chandelier still hanging in her room. We even contacted Lipton back in 2007/2008 to get some sponsorship (never heard from them again). Yesterday, I was surfing online to find my chandelier and the image vanished! It use to be the first image that…

YAY! My Logo Has Been Approved :)
For the past two years, I haven't found too much inspiration to paint. So, I decided to investigate other forms of Visual Arts - Logo Designs. I began looking online for logo portfolios, tips & tricks and all that jazz. Then I purchased a book called "Logo Design Love" by David Airey. Definitely enjoyed the book...in fact I couldn't put it down! Now let me tell you this...I dislike reading...so that's a scientific breakthrough right there! LOL. Back to the point - I focused on some words…

Stepping Out into the Open
I'm new here and barely an artist... so stepping into the open where there are a lot of accomplished, talented artists, isn't easy for me. However, I've decided to spend the rest of my life creating art.
I had some artistic experiences over the years but didn't entirely devote all my spare energy to art, as I was busy with child rearing and my other creative pursuit, writing. Now that the kids are adults I need to go back to the creation of art.
I decided that about two…

Hi
Firstly I would like to say a big hello to all of you, this is such an inspirational place, I am very happy to be part of it.
I am eager to try my hand at more unusual mixed media works and assemblage as I have a mild case of hoarding. There is an over abundance of art supplies & interesting objects crowding my studio - (papers, magazine pictures, beads, feathers, figurines, junk yard & second hand shop finds, buttons, fur, material)...the list goes on! I need to put all of…

HERE ARE 2 LINKS to TWO of my youtube videos talking and demonstrating about this amazing product:

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
