I entered a challenge from Stampington & Co. earlier this year to create art representing Classic Literature.  At first I imagined creating a mixed media piece of one of my own favorite books.  Then I began to browse through the vintage photos I have saved on my PC.  When I found the photo of two children working in the vegetable fields, I knew that was the one I wanted to use for my art.  I've

Three times a week I receive inspirational messages via email from Neale Donald Walsch, the author of the book series "Conversations With God."  He titles these short little emails "I believe God wants you to know." Today I received the message below.  It's the perfect message for me right now.  When you read it and you reach the word "Linda" put your own name in that first sentence.  Perhaps it

Woo Hoo !!!   Thank you, Stampington and Co.!   My art is in the latest issue of GreenCraft magazine along with an article that I wrote!  This is truly a dream come true for me! In May, I received an email from Amanda Crabtree, Senior Managing Editor of GreenCraft, that several pieces of my art would be published in the Autumn 2011 issue of GreenCraft.  She also asked if I could write the

Memorial Day has always been a very special day for me.  It's the day to remember all the men and women who have served in our military, those who have given their lives to protect our freedoms.  It's also a day to bless those who continue to serve and their families who wait for them at home. I grew up in Iowa, in the heart of the Midwest where Memorial Day was also known as Decoration Day. It

Three years ago, I didn't know about Stampington & Co.  Then browsing through a Barnes and Noble bookstore, I found a wonderful magazine with mixed media art and I fell in love with "Somerset Studio."  Over the next three years, I purchased and collected many of the Stampington & Co. magazines and experimented with the art techniques I discovered in them.  I opened three shops on the internet to

I've had a very exciting week!  Last Friday I received an email from GreenCraft, one of Stampington's magazines, that they were going to feature two of my art projects from a recent challenge in the fall issue of GreenCraft and they asked me to write the article.  I had created a set of seven containers for my art brushes using tin cans covered with images of birds, bird nests and eggs from two

I have a colorful collection of ACEOs - Art Cards, Editions, Originals - little 2-1/2" by 3'1/2" cards that I have collected over the last few years. I've been displaying them on a single cord with little clothespins to clip them to the line. When I decided to make a wall display using a narrow section of one wall in my art studio, I wanted to hang each ACEO from a hanger or a nail.  I wanted

My alarm went off at 6:00 am this morning. After a quick breakfast, I dressed in warm winter clothes and boots and headed off in my car to Homosassa, Florida - 40 minutes away.  I was going to an exciting event and I pictured lots of people gathered in the WalMart parking lot - it was the designated place to be!  When I arrived at the parking lot, there were only about 10 cars. So I snapped a

During the Christmas holiday, I visited my sister's home near Orlando, Florida.  Her Christmas tree was decorated with many keepsake ornaments and also many handmade ones.  I took the time to photograph several of the handpainted ornaments I had given her over the years.  As I edited and filed these photographs in my PC, I decided to share them with you here on my blog.

This painting hangs in my bedroom and always brings back memories when I see it. My mom painted it when she was in her 70s and gave it to me. This painting is her memory of  the farm house and land that belonged to my grandparents in rural Iowa.  My parents and I lived in a small mobile home on the same farm.  I loved the farm animals, fishing in the small creek down the dirt road, picking wild

I love vintage Christmas ornaments! I began collecting them over 30 years ago, when I ws browsing through a thrift store right after Thanksgiving and found a tiny thin box of twisted metal icicles. I immediately remembered that my grandparents hung these same little icicles on their Christmas tree years before. As I purchased them, I felt like I had found a true treasure! That year I also

I have the perfect solution for those birds who want to come to my back yard at night and have a late night snack - a lighted bird feeder! I'm just teasing!  I looked out my window and my bird feeders were glowing like they were lighted inside. The evening sunset was shining directly on them and they were beautiful.  So I snapped this photo and wanted to share it with you! I wonder what the

Our family has always celebrated all things handmade. This is a tradition that my mother started. Growing up, for Christmas I always received a doll with handmade clothes from my mother. Later, as I got older, she made clothes as gifts for me too. She drew her own patterns and  made turtle pillows, Raggedy Ann dolls and clown dolls for her grandchildren in Florida. One of these Raggedy Ann dolls

I've always marveled at those big, beautiful Boston Ferns that hang on the porches of homes every summer, making them look like a show home from Southern Living magazine. I have never had good luck growing a Boston Fern.  Two years ago I saw some small Boston Ferns in 8" pots in my local Home Depot's plant area priced at only $8.00 each. So I came home with three of them. At the time I was

Recently I've explored the internet checking out different sites that I might use to sell my art. One site I looked at was ArtFire. They don't charge a seller for listings and take no percent out of your sales. I signed up for a studio there a while back, but have never listed any items there. But I plan to now.

After posting the photo and article about my Rain Bird and his poem, I decided that the photo showed how plain the canvas was. So, I'm in the middle of a Do Over for the Rain Bird canvas. I'll be posting a new photo on Monday, showing rain clouds, a different color on the umbrella, new legs and the poem. Yes, I'm having fun with this! :o)

I have a new visitor in my yard - a Florida fox squirrel! I had never seen one until I moved to this house in the rural area of Citrus Springs in May and was amazed when I saw the first one. They are HUGE and have the longest, biggest tails! They are very wild and not very friendly, so when this one started coming to my yard to raid my bird feeders, I was very surprised.

One week ago, my little Westie, Samson, had his first sleepover. Samson is 10 years old, set in his ways and has some chronic illnesses, plus losing a bit of his eyesight. But he seems to be happy, loves going outside to check the yard for smells many times a day and taking naps. Monday a week ago started off in a routine way. Samson was asleep in his cage; he loves his cage, sleeps there and

Early on the morning of February 10, 2010, as the light began to fill the lake below my home, I saw the first hint of pink. As I watched, more pink began to fill the sky and reflect in the clouds.I immediately raced for my camera to take photos. The photo below shows the actual colors of this pink sunrise.

I'm certain that spring is coming soon, because the birds are gathering here in central Florida to fly north. I've shared on our Melanage thread about the flock of robins who come daily to drink fresh water from my bird baths. I live on the Gulf coast, so most of our water here is salt water. The robins arrive mid-morning and fly around my yard helter-skelter, chirping and landing on the edges of

Well, the decorating is finished and the gifts made or purchased. I think I'll share about all the visitors I have had in my yard this month. First the racoons came to eat bird seed from the plant saucers that sit on the ground. I feed the squirrels from the ground in these saucers so they don't bother my hanging bird feeders. I have one squirrel who comes up to my second story deck every

The element page from crowabout for Week 56 was all western images, complete with a gun-tottin cowgirl. While I liked the cowgirl and the words "WANTED" and could see making a wanted poster, I kept reading the words "A Horse is a Horse, is a Horse.." and then I remembered the tune. Those were the words to the theme song for the TV show "Mr. Ed" back in the '60s. I enlarged the photo of the kids

Well, I took the plunge and entered the weekly Crowabout challenge. First you pick up a full sheet of elements from Nancy B. at Crowabout on Flickr - she posts a new one each Saturday. Then you create your own collage using at least three of Nancy's designs or elements from her sheet, and post it back on Flickr on your own page, then add it to the Crowabout collection.I loved the Week 55 element

I like everything about Halloween - the colors, the witches, the jack-o-lanterns with their scary faces, the candy corn and of course, all the costumes.I'm creating Halloween mixed media art and adding some humor. Below is one of my new pieces."They hide in plain sight. They only wear their hats on Halloween. The rest of the year, they meet for tea."This is an 8" x 8" canvas board based in orange

The Melange Team of wonderful mixed media artists have a challenge today - use fabric in mixed media art. Glenda Bailey of twocooltexans on Etsy blessed us with this challenge, and encouraged us to add lace, threads, and all kinds of fabric to our art.Here is my Melange Fabric Challenge piece: Miss AliceMiss Alice is a 6" x 6" gallery wrapped canvas with 1/2" sides.

I was introduced to Mixed Media Monday by Glenda Bailey of TwoCoolTexans on Etsy. Glenda encouraged me to join this Monday's challenge to "make something round.""BONES" is my mixed media art for "make something round." The three game pieces with the paws on them are the "round" part. This art is based on the quote next to the tree trunk: "If a dog's prayers were answered, bones would rain from

Why would anyone want to do a transfer? Wouldn't it be be easier to just glue down a photo or a clipping? But maybe that's too easy for a mixed media lover. In our Melange Team of mixed media artists, we are having a transfer challenge this month. When I began to explore the world of transfers, I discovered what fun it can be! During this last month I have tried many different transfer methods

I used a print of a photo from my family taken in 1944, writing scraps from vintage letters, tissue paper birds, paper daisies, and three Inchy Art blocks with "W" "E" and "Family." The exact title is "We R Family" and you have to search a bit for the "R."I used gloss gel medium , heavy matte medium, Staz-On ink, acrylic paints, E6000 glue and images of an angel and dark texture. Four colors of

This week's word for the Melange Challenge is "adventure" - an exciting word! Growing up inthe 1950's, my idea of an adventure was getting in our car, taking a packed lunch and going for an all day drive. Sometimes we took our fishing poles and stopped to fish in some river we found. Other days we explored small towns in the middle of Iowa, driving slowly around their town squares and looking in

Instead of drawing or painting something for this challenge, I dug into my collection of costume jewelry. And the cow with wings spoke to me! When DO cows fly? Remembering from my early days, I loved "the cow jumped over the moon, and the cat ran away with the spoon." But maybe cows fly in the early mornings too as the clocks show.The background on this 5" x 7" canvas is painted with acrylics.

This is titled "My favorite dance partners!"The photo in the middle is me at age 6, in 1947, in one of my tap dance outfits. The dancers around me are pictures I drew of my pets I have loved and enjoyed. All have gone on to the Rainbow Bridge, except the little guy at the bottom. That's Sterling Samson, my little Westie, my only pet right now.I used acrylics, watercolors, gesso, gel medium, paper
