When altered art turns deadly–your number is up
I was making Halloween tags out of bingo cards the other day when my husband quipped “my number is up”. Being that I’m the wordsmith, I don’t know why it is that he remembered this expression and I didn’t. Maybe because he causes me so much stress. I certainly know that even if my number isn’t up, my memory certainly is.
Now where was I?…Oh yes, well he may have remembered the phrase, but I was the one who realized that I could have a lot of altered art fun with it.
Your Number is Up is actually a combination of altered art and mixed media. It plays upon the themes of numbers and bones. Please visit ColourArte to see more details about how I made it.

An altered art steampunk homage to Oz
“We’re off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz.”
Good morning. Now you can hate me all day for that ear worm. Actually, now that I typed it, I am kind of hating myself. Truth be told, I don’t even like the Wizard of Oz.
Why then did I create the altered art piece Behind the Curtain–A Steampunk Homage to Oz? Well you will just have to find out by clicking on this link. You will also get the benefit of seeing a fun two-part tutorial (complete with childhood trauma).

Pack your bags for the quintessential American road trip
One reason you haven’t heard from me recently is because my family just completed a quintessential American road trip traveling across Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and South Dakota.
We saw some of the United States’ most beautiful landscapes and national parks including Glacier National Park; Yellowstone; the Grand Tetons; the Badlands of North and South Dakota; and Mount Rushmore before returning to Minnesota, the beautiful land of 10,000 lakes. Read the rest of this entry

Who knew? I should use my Playstation to craft altered tags?
Question: How do crafters solve problems?
Answer: Just Like everyone else. They Google it!
The problem I need to solve is that I think I must be the slowest crafter in the world. A visit to Facebook leaves me frothing enviously at the astounding rate that many of you produce your art. DO YOU PEOPLE NEVER SLEEP?
Wait, a minute. I never sleep (well, just about, anyway). So I have been trying to figure out how I can be so stinkin’ slow? In desperation I turned to Google for wisdom.
Oh Google, how could you fail me so?.

You won’t believe your eyes when you see what this ancient tile is really made from
Take a look at this time and weather worn sun tile. Now, look again. Can you believe I made it from a simple sheet of foam?

Pretty, pretty Prima—with sprinkles on top
Prima Marketing is having a design team call. A long-time fan of theirs, I simply could not resist giving it a try. But the best part???? The best part is how much fun I had creating these projects with Prima products!

Be a trendsetter–join the fun of Artist Trading Spoons
You’ve heard of Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) and Artrist Trading Blocks (ATBs), but I bet you never heard of the Artist Trading Spoons (ATS). Why? Because I just invented them!
To accompany the Robin’s Nest recipe themed blog hop, I decided to have some fun and create some retro ATSes featuring bold and fun mid-century graphics.
