SQUARE.

The theme for "Inspire Me Thursday" this week is "square"...coincidentally, squares are all around me. The vast majority of my recent paintings, for the past couple of years, have all been square. Most of them 12x12. I really love this size and I am definitely not done with it yet. The three "squares" above are three thick frames in my dining room that normally hold three of these paintings but, I took them out last weekend to wire them up for an upcoming art fest and the sad empty frames were just sitting there. The theme this week inspired me to temporarily dec these out... even if it's just a little while, it was looking pretty sad. So, I used some scraps from some artworks that my husband, daughter and I have been working on this week (and some of my daughters plastic animals). I wonder how long until she notices and if I have to give 'em back?

I also just realized that you don't have to really wait until THURSDAY to post for IMT! I still wonder how alot of people seem to get their homework done so early!!!

My new favorite thing!

I can only hope to have my car antenna tagged someday!

ATC

I've seen some really gorgeous and extremely elaborate ATC's but, for me, one of the biggest appeals to ATC's is that no matter how hectic life becomes, I can always commit to a 2.5x3.5 inch artwork...
There! Done! Whew! (pat myself on the back) I created something this week!
Here is my non-elaborate contribution to "Inspire Me Thursday"!

Inspire me again...

Not sure if this is done or not...

Inspire me Thursday!

Let's try this....?

17 years...

More carving blocks!

I am using acrylic paint instead of stamping ink here... just to be able to play around with some colors.

These are all 'stamped', printed, what-have-you onto postcard sized scraps of various papers, soon to be mailed as friendly greetings!

I see how this can be so addictive because the combinations and possibilites are truely endless here....

The store at which I purchased these is currently out...and I was told that there are three on order. She's gonna need to order more than THREE!

who thinks this stuff up?

I love it, it is called the scribbler and it's just like all the doodling you do on your phonebook but, it be AUTO-MATIC, baby!
