Maybe she's gonna put em in a bowl with raw eggs and tomato soup and make an abortion casserole.

This piece is one of my latest. This means that I started it several months ago and it has been sitting, incubating since then. I will probably put a little more detail into it....eventually, but it is mostly finished.

great color!

I hadn't done any fine art for almost 25 years when I did this portrait
of my grandmother in pencil on Bristol board. This was done with an acetate grid of half -inch squares over
the original photo which matched a faint pencil grid that I measured out on the Bristol sheet.

Then I scanned the pencil portrait at 600 dpi
and colorized it Photoshop.
The final output for framing is 16 x 22.

Bit · 01-27-2010, 12:26 PM

Wow! Y'all are doing some amazing art!

I've been burning glue again, but I have no pictures yet... actually, I keep forgetting to take pics before I either give things away or take them to the consignment store. Now if only they will sell, I will be a happy camper--but actually, I'm a happy camper just because I get to design and create. Once I have the shapes cut out, glued together, and burnt, I paint them, wire them together, and dangle all sorts of beads off them--they're shiny and they move, it makes my heart sing, lol....

Jet · 04-26-2010, 12:48 PM

My design work is created in Adobe CS4. To recreate the Fox Theater in my home town in the 1950s for a poster, I used a faxed copy of a 1938 news clipping as my template. Then I added shots of Norman Rockwell and the album cover of American Graffiti to create the Fox Fountain cafe which was next door in the late 40s and 1950s. It took about 2 and half months to finish.

Thank you, Queen of Queens, for creating this thread. I am surprised that it has taken me this long to find it. Usually, I can use my creativity radar and hone right in.....

However...

About me...I am an artist, crafter, poet and sometime-seamstress. My art is my passion and oil painting and drawing are where my talent shines. My work has been compared to Dali and sometimes Tanguy (which humbles me more than any thing else).
To see my work, go to http://warningshot.deviantart.com/gallery I would love to know what you all think.

Some of my jewelry is there, too. But, I don't think I have added any of my Pagan Rosaries to that gallery.

In regards to my poetry, I may start a thread for my words sometime in the future. I haven't decided yet.

The seamstress part is that I make cloaks for Ren Faire and ritual. I also make other simple things. But, I have a difficult time with more difficult clothing items.

You might say that I have creative add...haha.

I have looked through the work of others here and I have to say that it is SO good to see so many creative people in one place.

ps. Jet, I don't know how you do it. CS4 and I DO NOT get along. It is still a mystery to me.

Jack · 05-09-2010, 04:52 PM

Magic and Silk. I just looked at your work on Deviant art.

Wow...you are incredibly talented. Im astonised. I love your work.

I love Dali too and there is a connection there.

Very gifted, you should have a Gallery and be famous ! LOL

Thank you for sharing.

Jack, you flatter me beyond belief. I like that.
Thank you for taking the time out of your weekend to look at my gallery. I appreciate that so much. Believe it or not, I am a very small-time celebrity in the small town that I live in. People that I don't know say to me "Oh I have seen your work!". I am still not used to it.

Thank YOU for sharing! Have a wonderful week!

Guys! I have discovered Zazzle! Has anybody else got a shop there? I was tossing up between Zazzle and Cafepress. I'm not expecting to make a fortune on it or anything, but it's a good way to get my art work out there when it would otherwise just be sitting in my computer, forgotten.

Might do something on Cafepress too... I think Cafepress would be the more widely known website... but that's just a feeling.

Ursy · 06-15-2010, 08:13 PM

I just sold a tie on Zazzle! Whoots

A tie with kewpie dolls on it was the last thing I thought I'd sell, but hey, I'm not complaining!

This is what it looks like: http://www.zazzle.com/kewpie_tie-151995433592361135

I shan't get my hopes up about making my fortune and retiring in the bahamas just yet, but my first sale gave me a bit of a thrill

Ok, I'm a, oh, nevermind... just dripping by to see what-all you creative folks are doing.

*Magic_and_Silk* · 06-26-2010, 07:50 PM

Just stopping by to give this thread a *BUMP*.

I have been so busy lately, painting my newest oil painting, creating more jewelry and drawing. Hopefully, I will soon have some to add to the gallery, if I can figure out which pictures I want to replace.

Until then, I leave you with this; One of my Pagan Rosaries....
