Additions to my Art/ Scrap Room/ Studio... 2013

So i'm all about organizing in my space now that my supplies are growing...

Below is something I saw on my amazing new favorite website.

Pinterest.....

I purchased a piece of metal sheet 11x16 from Home Depot - $1.97

And then a few boxes of magnets from Michaels.. (used coupons so I think each box of 20 were $1.50)

And glue gun... And had some fun mounting them...

Then I used Heavy duty glue and mounted it to the bottom of my shelving unit.

Another view.

Got these plastic paint cans from Michaels on clearance... they store alot of stuff...  and you can see thru them so you can see what's inside them...

I took another pin I found on Pinterest and used wooden sticks to wrap my ribbon in for better storage.

 Another view  of my new ribbon storage.

Hope you enjoy....

Learning to become an artist

So again.. I decided to just put months together - after I had just learned how to do Art Journaling - I started working on Canvas and realized I really like doing Abstract Art - so here's the first of my art work.

The below is my very 1st artwork done.   (P.S. I have already gesso over it ) LOL...

The below is one I started for my niece she picked these colors in her room. This has alot of textured in it.  Acrylic paints, wax melting, modeling paste. 

This was after I watched a youtube video on pouring inks - mixing acrylic paints with a pouring medium.

Below is the finished product of the piece I started and pictured above.

Here's another pouring medium paint canvas that I did for my son with his favorite colors.

Below was a small canvas I did for a friend who wanted something to match her colors in her livingroom.

Here's a canvas piece I did on Thanksgiving day...   (See the turkey) - very 3d texture.

Here's a piece I did in October right after Hurricane Sandy hit our Jersey Shore and destroyed so much of it...

below is a piece I did when feeling so lucky that I was adopted by an amazing mother and father - and had such a great brother to share life with.
