Show and Tell, lots of stuff!
Gorgeous ATC's!! Wowzers!
Nice paintings too! I just got into acrylics...although I'm not sure I like them. -- Valerie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.valeriebeads.com http://valeriebeads.etsy.com I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free. -Michelangelo Buonarroti "Vibrant Jewels" wrote in message ink.net...

There are several pages of ATCs [most of them have been traded]. The rest of the Art Gallery page isn't ATCs, they are full sized paintings. Man, I gotta get back to art and beading!

Thanks Karleen! The bag was a ton of work. I'm starting on another one now. Muwahahaha! ;-) This time I have a sewing machine to at least assist me with the construction.

I couldn't get the last one to come up either. Wow the art cards are awesome. I have done some myself, but I never thought about covering the whole thing with beading. What a ton of work!  The pocket book was unbeadlieveable! I can't believe you didn't at least place! But you know, that's why I quit doing juried competitions... it's just too darn frustrating to figure out what the judges want and mesh that with your own creativity!

Show and Tell, lots of stuff!
Thanks Val! Most of my paintings are water color or mixed media. Acrylic is
great for painting wood, cardboard, etc. Problem with doing fine art is that it dries so darn fast! LOL You can rework water color somewhat, and oils too, although the turpentine bothers me. I've found in painting with water color the most important thing is the paper - buy the best you can find. And brushes - buy the best you can afford (they'll last a lifetime if taken care of).
