Beauty & Grace - Mixed Media

I have completed my first mixed media project.  A mixture of acrylic paint on canvas, including fabric and a old photograph of my great-grandmother.  I really enjoyed this creative outlet, this is a great way for me to be creative with my old family photos.  I will note that I don't use originals of the photo's, I actually make scans and make a print, as to not ruin the original.

Now the wheels are turning to create more.  In Topeka, the city has a new art district and once I have a few more I plan to take these down to the local galleries.  I would be interested in entertaining commissions as well.

Happy creating!

Operation Closet. Phase One Complete.

When I moved into my new apartment, I was blessed with a beautiful walk in closet.  I have been spinning my wheels trying to think of a way to take full advantage of this space.  A couple of weeks ago, I began to think that if organized properly I could make the back of the closet into a little work space.  So that is what I have been doing for the past few weekends.

I am really happy that phase one is done.  Basically this means it is "organized" enough so that I can use it creatively, I have already begun to use it.  I have been exploring other artistic mediums, currently mixed media and collage.

There is still work that needs to be done.  That will require extra shelving and a couple of bookcases though. 

Time to let the creative juices flow.
