ART TO WEAR JEWELRY

http://www.withheartbydesign.com/artist-statement.html

As an artist, I have always had a passion for creating in many different mediums. My newest desire for making unique repurposed art jewelry has been very gratifying for me. I love being able to take materials and give them a whole other purpose than what they were intended for. Always striving for originality, I love creating each piece and using different elements to make interesting forms into wearable art.

And still more birds. I have birds on the brain.maybe because of spring.probably because I've always had a soft spot for them. And when I see some fabulous bird prints, I go weak in the knees. Facebook page.I was smitten.a back and forth exchange ensued.soon my package arrived.8 bird prints were mine. I had a bit of fun using the prints as photography props.they are quite wonderful.hand colored. With just the right amount of vintage wear. Wishing the photos were clearer.that's the downside of the PNW...

Better late than never. While looking for something in my office the other day.which I can't even remember what it was at this point. I came across a folder of collage materials. I will often collect materials for a piece and put them all together in a folder so that the ideas and theme stay intact. I prepped a canvas today to finish up this collage.minus the cow. You can see the completed piece at. August 15-16 at the Everett Marina.I hope you'll stop by. Amy of four corners design. Links to this post.

four corners design: Reconstruction

http://fourcornersdesign.blogspot.com/2015/05/reconstruction.html

I've been working on collages for summer art shows. And in keeping with my word(s) for the year, dig deep. I am doing just that. I've dug out a few past collages that somehow didn't work. And taking them apart.removing some elements, tearing apart others, cutting portions out. And then combining the elements back together, strengthening the composition, adding in new objects, layering on paint or transfers. A feather tied on with jute twine was the last serendipitous touch. Amy of four corners design.

A recent lesson in bestill52, my online creative class with. Was to take one thing and see how many different ways you could photograph it. At first, nothing came to mind to really motivate me to do a series. But this past weekend.as I was cleaning up the garden bouquet that was now withered and dying, this one tulip caught my eye.and persuaded me to play. And while we're talking about one more thing.

I don't know about you.but I love sneaking a peek inside of other's homes.I'm always curious to see how other people build their nest.and especially other creatives.its intriguing to me to see how the artistic personality reflects itself in one's surroundings. Seth Apter is running a new series.Living with Art.that lets you take such a peek.in his own words, he describes his intention. Showing and seeing art in real life settings.
