Art-a-thon July 26th through 29th

Shy Octopus Comes to Visit

There is an Art-a-Thon going on right now at ATCsForAll.com!  The Art-a-Thon will be running through July 29th.   You do need to be a member of the website to participate (free free always free).  The members are all very nice and happy to help you get started.

This is a "Challenge Art-a-thon", which means that there is a list of challenges to do (themes and such), and points are awarded - so it is a little competitive.  

The ATC above was drawn in pen and markers.  I had a challenge to depict the words octopus, shy, and to visit on the project.  I think it turned out pretty cute. 

Next I made this 4" x 4" chunky page using some blind drawing of cats, acrylic paint, Indian ink pen, glitter gel pen, washi tape, paper and fabric flowers, and fibers.  

I hope I am able to find the time to participate a bit more before the Art-a-thon ends.
 

More Mandalas and String Art

More doodled Mandalas and string art.  Made from 4" x 4" re-purposed cardboard covered with printed scrapbook papers.  Doodled with Sharpies and Indian ink pens, embellished with sparkly gel pens and glitter glue, and framed with a bit of string art.

I made these Mandala themed chunky pages for a swap at ATCsForAll.com.  Sign-ups are open until March 23rd.

Mandala Doodles and String Art

Mandalas doodled with Sharpies, Indian ink pens, and glitter glue, framed with a touch of string art for good measure. 

The bases for these are 4" x 4" re-purposed cardboard covered with printed scrapbook papers.  I will be adding embellishments to make these into Mandala themed chunky pages for a swap at ATCsForAll.com.  Sign-ups are open until March 23rd - so feel free to join in if you are inspired.
