Floorcloth SALE - closing out of the old stuff

Yep - it is time to move on. This is your opportunity to buy a cool floorcloth for your hardwood, tile or lineoleum floor. These are designed to go on any hard surfaced floor.

Bargain prices. They are all on ETSY. http://www.etsy.com/listing/50256950/faux-candy-tile-handpainted-canvas

Check them out. There are 14 of them for sale.

My process is that I cut my own canvas, prepare the canvas for the floorcloth, handpaint each piece individually without any patterns. Upon completion, I use a special floor covering varnish which lasts 10-12 years with just a wet wipe - nothing harsh.The floorcloth is stain-resistant, durable and great for any room - especially a hard surfaced floor.I am selling my floorcloths at close out prices because I am closing them out. No special orders, please. Final sales. I have more than twenty years of painted floorcloth experience in the arts. I know how well these are made and how long they will last.

Have fun shopping!

Garbage Journals!

Ever hear about a garbarge journal! This is it! Art Studio garbage is what the journal has.

Each page is a piece of art. No real theme - Just 8 pages and 8 paper pages for journaling!

This is the front cover. Created by Beth Lipman, my daughter, in college in the early 1990's. The others are my creations - dyed fabrics, an old Needlepoint, paper cloth collages, etc. The cocoa pod is from that delicious chocolate, Burdicks' in Walpole, NH.

This is the perfect thing to create when Life gives you lemonade and any thing you do is Dark. This allowed me to feel better during a difficult time in my life. And I have used some lemons!

Hop on over to Etsy http://www.etsy.com/your/listings?show_panel=true to check it out.

Text on the Surface

I have been a guinea pig for a pilot project Susie Monday is doing. She accepted the SAQA (www.Saqa.com) challenge for a visioning project.

Poor dear, her computer crashed, she had other emergencies but the 20 or so of us are trying to carry on. Here is a collage using paper cloth

and words - one of our test projects. It was a coincidence that my paper cloth was already done. The S letters on the left were part of Lesson 1, using letters to create a composition. I used a transfer method to create those letter in this collage.

I like the paper cloth idea and will definitely do more of it.

After the big S, which I just painted with puff paint, dries, I hope to mat it and sell it on Etsy. http://www.etsy.com/your/listings?show_panel=true
