Tommi--Did you draw this card? It's very impressive. I love this landscape and all the beautiful colors and that it feels like a mini painting.

Thank you EVERYONE for all your hard work!

Yes, pen and ink sketches, then watercolors and colored pencil
Thank you,

Now, I am Heading to the Post Office for mine in the AM,

OMG, CCB, I got your ATC in the mail when I got home last night and it was the only piece of mail I opened...(it was 2:30am) and it is great! Thank you for sending the raffle one too!!

Yes, tis newbie nanners who did not sign hers...

and they are made with tissue paper and some have sparklies on them, and some have pen and ink on them as well.

I'm looking forward to the rest of them.

I'm going to sit this next one out, too many things on my plate after a nice, relaxing vacation that I have to (gulp) start thinking about now.

Ahhhh, back to reality. *sigh

laruss · 08-13-2013, 09:17 AM

You should have received 8 from me, one from each of these people.
1. laruss
2. Jennifer
3. Gemme
4. pixie
5. Tommi
6. nanners
7. Deb aka sis
8. Katniss
9. Deb0670

candy_coated_bitch - mailed individually

these people bowed out-
Bleu
LaneyDoll
Wryly
Maryam

justanolecowboy - you will receive after I do.

the reunion ones were sent to nanners.

I hope I didn't make any mistakes. I counted and double checked before sealing envelopes, but you never know.

I did send all extras back to the artist as some had requested, some hadn't. I figured that way it was up to you if you wanted to send the extras to the reunion or not.

I abandoned my extras with a card in which I wrote a motivational quote.

Yay, I'm so glad you got mine safely! We did kind of track yours down LOL. As I said, I really did love the tissue paper effect.

I doubled checked and I am definitely missing one from pixie. She offered to send me one of the extras, though, so I will contact her about that. No worries.

nanners · 08-13-2013, 04:24 PM

I got mine in the mail today, and they are all wonderful! I am so impressed by all the different ideas!

In the same package were the reunion ones so I will go to the craft store and decide how they will be displayed for the reunion...probably in a photo page that can show both sides, or using baseball card holders...we shall see!

Thank you for all being a part of this, it was wonderful to share our art with each other!

I wish I had time to do the next one, but I have so many things to focus my time and energy right now...I am so tempted, but must resist! I will do the one after this next one I hope.

nycfem · 08-13-2013, 06:11 PM

I got my cards today!!! Laruss, you are so fucking organized! I love that about you!

Here are my words of excitement about each of the cards:

1) Laruss- love the silver! Can you post how you did the silver?

2) Gemme- love the commentary included and the flower! Also love the sparkling gold back!

3) Debbie- always love me some stickers

4) Sis- Love great quotes and the crocheted butterfly rocks my socks off! You always outdo yourself, and I always love it! PS Hope you got these cards before you needed to leave. Do let us know! Secondly, hope my package awaits you in China!

5) Pixie- You are always wildly creative. It makes me hella excited!

6) Tommi- Wow, just truly wow...

7) Katniss- Ohhh, I love the birdcage and the message! Beautiful!

8) Nanners- the one that's unsigned, I love tissue paper art and rainbows and kindness! Score!

Thanks, everyone! This was loads of fun!!!

As for the four cards I got back, I shall consider it a lesson: Never sign my art directly on it. Do the Gemme thing

And I don't mean fart

I try to be organized, but I am so sorry that CCB didn't get one from Pixie, I really do not know how I did that.

To do the silver I actually use silver leafing.
I paint with acrylics, let it dry and then use an acrylic medium to add the silver leaf. I put on the medium with a brush and then place the leafing on the medium (it comes in verrrrrrrry thin sheets). I let it dry and then rub off the excess silver (or gold) with my fingers.
I then varnish the piece with a brush on varnish.

I use metal leafing a lot in my abstracts.

It's ok. It's a lot of cards to keep track of, actually. Bound to happen every once in a while. Actually, I think it's just my bad karma with this project LMAO.

justanolecowboy · 08-13-2013, 10:28 PM

justanolecowboy - you will receive after I do.

These are on their way - i'm sure they will reach you in due time. Like nanners i will have to bow out next time - life and work is too demanding right now - enjoy when you receive them.

ahk · 08-14-2013, 10:39 AM

Is there a final count on Pixie's project??

Katniss · 08-14-2013, 11:00 AM

Still (not so patiently) waiting on my ATC!

As to the next project of "Mentor Moment".....for the sake of clarity, are we mentoring on an artisitic technique, hobby, skill or general life lesson?

I am drawing a blank right now on which way I plan to go with this so advice welcome.

Katniss~~

Pixie · 08-14-2013, 04:44 PM

Happy Hump Day everyone!!! The official number of participants is 11. So please provide 10 mentor moments!

Mentor Moment

Take this moment and give advice. This is not a lecture but an opportunity for your expression from something you would have liked advice or mentoring before you had began. So you can take this and share your experience...let your voice be heard!

These mentor moments can be written or visually expressed.

Projects for each participant (and $5) due to me 9/7/2013 (so that it won't interfere with the reunion!)

1. Pixie
2. nycfem
3. ahk
4. Corkey
5. Uniqueswtfemm
6. Katniss
7. LaneyDoll
8. Tommi
9. Tommi's kaijira
10. amiyesiam
11. purepisces

In regards to the type of mentoring you provide, it is completely up to you! It can be how to do an oragami piece, how to bake/or not to bake brownies, it can be about overcoming specific obstacles, it can be about you......I'm just ready to learn from y'all and have my moments validated in the process!

I look forward to it all!!

Katniss~~

I am actually doing advice that has helped me along the way. I choose three different pearls of wisdom and will turn them into something (hopefully) worth putting on the fridge if desired. The thoughts are all my own and they might be based on real quotes but I am not sure. I just know they were all helpful to me and one was practically a mantra for a very long time.

How is it you are one of the first to get them to me and one of the last to receive them?

Hopefully you will receive them very soon.

I'm using advice we all have said or used. Something to remember every now and then. It's going to be used on your wall, if wanted

....this is too much fun! Thanks for letting me partake .
