More surfing while in Vegas

I'm spending way too much time surfing the net, but what a good time I'm having. I'm gathering techniques and inspiration.

Today's finds: http://daisyyellow.squarespace.com/. Many, many tutorials of paper arts but could easily be applied to fabric.

Here's another wonderful site stuffed with tutorials: some with paper and some with fabric. http://www.mixed-media-artist.com/

So, get yourself a cup of tea, glass of water, glass of wine or whatever and enjoy surfing.

Favorite YouTube Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy0JG-TEWf8 This is my all time favorite video on monotyping.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue3RA2e7rj4&feature=channel I find this technique utterly fascinating. I've tried this once but very eager to try again.

Missing from blog, but still alive and well

In May, I worked diligently getting my blurb book published and my website up and running. (Please check the links for both on the right. ) I was on a mission!!!!!!! I wanted to get both done before flying out to Vegas. My lovely daughter, Kara, got married to her man, Matt, June 7th. I am now house and dog sitting for them. I've been spending an immense amount of time on the internet, surfing away to my heart's content: anything to do with mixed media: monoprinting, monotyping, collaging, fabric painting, and a new attraction: petroglyphs - and there a bunch here in Nevada.



In the next few days, I'll post some links I found very interesting. Today's find was an online free ezine called Art Trader Magazine through Linda at http://inspire.creative-textile-and-quilting-arts.com/art-trader-magazine/ . I took an online needle felting from Linda a while back and subscribe to her online Inspire newsletter. The link will get you there. Linda is inspiring. Enjoy!
