GOT ART?

Day 12

noreply@blogger.com (Sherry Goodloe) — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 04:01:00 +0000

Inspired by Tim's last tag of his 12 Tags of Christmas this year, I did an altered candle . . .

I used tim's new Idea-ology Tissue Wrap - Composer that I cut to fit and then melted on the candle. When melting the tissue wrap using my Ranger Heat It Craft tool, I covered the tissue with waxed paper and then started the process.

Instead of using the metal foil tape like tim used on his tag, I used paper and the vintage lace die, painted it with Silver Adirondack Metallic Paint Dabber and then attached the "paper lace" with Glossy Accents.

Using Antique Linen Distress Stain, I colored some of tim's Idea-ology Trimmings - Lavish, dried the trimming with the heat tool and then tied it into a bow on a string with a little Frozen Charlotte cast in bronze that my friend Cindy Forrester gifted me recently . . .

Simple - yet elegant I think.

Oooooh WAIT! How the heck did I forget the STICKLES?! And my all-time favorite color at THAT - Platinum! Sheeeesh . . .

I dotted some on the music notes and smeared some on random parts of the candle.

Will You Be Attending? . . .

Workshop Cancelled

noreply@blogger.com (Sherry Goodloe) — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 17:06:00 +0000

Due to low enrollment, my workshop at The Inspiration Emporium Warehouse November 19th has been cancelled. Stay tuned for a new class date after the new year!

Holiday Eclectic Charm Necklace Workshop

noreply@blogger.com (Sherry Goodloe) — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 02:32:00 +0000

***THIS WORKSHOP HAS BEEN CANCELLED UNTIL AFTER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR***

I am so excited to write this blog post to let you know that I will be teaching my Eclectic Charm Necklace Workshop at the Inspiration Emporium warehouse! Yes, a workshop inside the WAREHOUSE! Do you know what THIS means? THIS means that you will be surrounded by all the wonderful products that Inspiration Emporium sells on-line. And let me tell you . . . I've shopped at the warehouse, and it's like being in one big ole candy store.

The workshop will be held on Saturday, November 19th from 1:00pm-4:30pm at 644 Eckhoff, Suite H. Major cross streets are Orangewood and Eckhoff in the city of Orange.

And as with all of my workshops, everything is included with the exception of your imagination and a pair of Tim Holtz non-stick micro serrated scissors. And if you don't have a pair of these scissors, you can purchase them HERE or at the warehouse the day of the workshop.

If you'd like to create a holiday eclectic charm necklace similar in style to the one in the photo at the top of this blog post, just let me know in advance.

And if you'd prefer a NON-holiday eclectic charm necklace, I will have plenty of kits available for those as well.

I will be teaching this workshop for $60 (normally an $80 workshop). That leaves plenty left to do some shopping after the workshop in the warehouse.

Come learn how to create acrylic Fragment charms (we'll make 10) and add metal and laser wood cut doo-dads to fill out your 19" antiqued silver metal chain. Or if you prefer, I will have 24" chains available for just a few dollars more. No two necklaces are ever alike!

SAMPLE ONLY

And these eclectic charm necklaces make wonderful gifts. And with the holidays just around the corner, you'll have plenty of time to create some special gifts for some special friends or family members.

Isaiah 41:10 Sunday Collage on Canvas and Some WIPs

noreply@blogger.com (Sherry Goodloe) — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 03:15:00 +0000

I was looking at the calendar this morning and realized that this time last year I was diagnosed with breast cancer and preparing for my double mastectomy surgery which took place on September 14th. Wow, almost a year has gone by since that surgery and many more associated with this disease. But here I am a year later writing this blog post and can say that I am still cancer free!

10" x 8" canvas that I first painted with Pitch Black Adirondack Acrylic Paint

Various decorative papers including vintage ledger paper, white paint pen, fun foam and Diamond Glaze . . .

I threaded some cotton candy pink and white twine through an antique silver breast cancer awareness "Hope" charm for the girl's necklace. . .

Since I had the paints and papers out, I started three more canvas collages . . .
I painted the canvas using Claudine Hellmuth Studio Paint in Classic Teal. I just love the consistency of her paints!

I used her Landscape Green on this canvas . . .

Have a great art-filled week ahead!

Fun at Whimzy, a Teesha Moore-Inspired Necklace Creation and bc Update

noreply@blogger.com (Sherry Goodloe) — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 03:22:00 +0000

Thank you ladies for another fun Eclectic Charm Necklace Workshop at Whimzy in Old Town Tustin yesterday! . . .

The completed necklaces . . .

Carol

Elizabeth

Mary Lee all the way from Las Vegas!

And I have to show you a photo of the delicious cookies made by Sheryl of Whimzy. And yes, they are (were) as delicious as they LOOK! . . .

This was my last Eclectic Charm Necklace Workshop at Whimzy for the year. If you are interested in hosting a workshop at your home, please contact me. The host will get the workshop at no cost! You invite your friends/family/co-workers, provide tables and chairs and I'll bring everything for the 3 1/2 hour workshop.

* * * * *

And Sunday, to relax, I created a Teesha Moore-inspired necklace today using Fragments and some of Teesha's papers and some metal charms including Idea-ology Muse Tokens . . .

Have an art-filled week ahead everyone!

BC Update: Had a follow-up appointment with my plastic surgeon this past Thursday to check on the "reconstruction site" :) Everything is healing nicely and I don't go back until September 22nd. I go for blood work on September 8th and on September 15th I see the Oncologist.

"A" is for Art

noreply@blogger.com (Sherry Goodloe) — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 07:11:00 +0000

I've had these large 12" x 6" (the "R" is 8 1/4" wide) x 1 1/2" papier mache letters for over 2 years now. Isn't it funny how that happens? You make a purchase and it seems forever before you decide what to do with it?

The "A" and the "T" were already black, but the "R" was a natural color that papier mache usually comes in, so I painted the "R" with black paint using Ranger's Adirondack Acrylic Pitch Black Paint Dabber. If you haven't used these before, you should pick up a few (or all of them!) to make covering large areas so much easier.

Most of the papers I used are from Teesha Moore's collage sheets that she sells. I've also used some of my own papers in the same bright color scheme. I'm finding since I took Teesha Moore's workshops in June that I've been drawn to brighter colors lately.

I collaged the sides of the letters, added some dots using a white paint pen and . . .

some stripes on the letter "T".

All of the letters have a generous coating of Diamond Glaze. Here they are standing up on a table. They can also be hung on the wall. Not sure where I will put them or if I will sell them.

So that's it for the pens, paints and papers for me today. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and will have an art-filled week ahead.

**BC update: I'm going in for a check up on my "reconstruction site" this Thursday and to discuss the next steps in the process. I've been feeling pretty good aside from the side effects of the medication - hot flashes, some sleepless nights, sore throat, weight gain. But HEY, that's nothing compared to what I COULD be going through isn't it? *smiles* I feel blessed to be doing so well.

Eclectic Charm Necklace Workshop (Tim Holtz-Inspired)

Hello Blogger Buddies! Just wanted to remind you about my Eclectic Charm Necklace Workshop next Saturday, August 20th at Whimzy in Old Town Tustin, California. The Workshop is from 1:00pm to 4:30pm.

No need to bring anything other than a pair of small/medium size, sharp scissors (Tonic Scissors are my all-time favorite!)

In addition to the collage techniques you will learn, I will be teaching some techniques that I haven't used in this workshop in the past (see above photo)

Idea-ology Fragments and Facets, laser wood cuts, fabric, metal and so much more!

You can sign up for the workshop HERE, get all the details and even pay using PayPal! Now what could be easier than that?

Some photos from past workshops . . .

Hope to see you next Saturday. In the meantime, stay creative!

Play Date Last Sunday and Update on BC Journey

noreply@blogger.com (Sherry Goodloe) — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 15:28:00 +0000

Hi Blogger Buddies! It's been so long (since I returned from the RSC!) since I blogged last, so I will cut to the chase and share my play date I had last Sunday at my friend's home.

Sometimes we call these play dates "Make-n-Steak" because Linda's husband, Bob will bbq steaks for us later in the evening after Linda and I share techniques we've learned either on our own, on-line or at workshops.

First things first . . .

I brought along supplies and some of my pieces to show Linda what I learned in Teesha Moore's workshops . . .

I've been wanting to do some etching on copper and Linda has already done several jewelry pieces using the technique, so when I told her I recently got these really cool book cover rubber stamps by Tim Holtz I wanted to try, she told me to bring them.

Here is my book cover in the making. Stamped and coming out of it's etching bath after about an hour . . .

I thought Alcohol Inks would be cool to color the cover and give it a patina, old world look. I used Lettuce, Butterscotch, Bottle, Caramel, Citrus . . .

This is what I'm going to use (I think) as the back cover. Here's how it looks out of the etching bath with no color added yet. Oops - that's the flash from my cell phone in the lower right hand corner . . .

I really like etching and will definitely be buying the supplies to do some more at home!

Snack time . . .

Show and Tell time. Some of Bob's latest pieces . . .

Then it was play time with Marlena "Marley" . . .

after a swim in the pool . . .

Linda finished up her piece the next day and colored what was a black and white head piece. I just LOVE how it all turned out! . . .

And this is mine . . .

It's always such a fun, relaxing day at The Bucci's. Next time we get together we're going to do shrink art *smiles*.

BC update: I had reconstruction surgery June 27th. Still healing. I think I may have done a little too much a little too soon (the workshops and the rubber stamp convention) or maybe things just take longer to heal than I want them to? I have seen the doctor twice since surgery and will go back on August 18th to discuss the next steps. I'm feeling well and have returned to work. And obviously I'm not going to let the fun stop! *smiles*

Teesha Moore Workshops

noreply@blogger.com (Sherry Goodloe) — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 04:41:00 +0000

Last Saturday and Sunday I went to the Rubber Stamp Convention and on Friday I took a couple of early morning Teesha Moore workshops that were held at the Convention Center as well.

Both workshops were fun and freeing for me. I got to work in one of my favorite mediums - collage, but more than that, I got to use colors I am not usually drawn to when I create. Here's what I created:

This collage was created on a canvas using papers and fun foam and paints and paint pens . . .

This one I created on cardstock using some of the same techniques but is meant to be a journal page . . .

Me and some of my art buddies at our table . . .

and here are some of the other artist's creations from both workshops . . .

After the workshops I joined my friends for a nice lunch before I went back to the hotel and started resting up for the two days ahead! . . .

I will do another blog post Saturday morning to share photos from both days of the Rubber Stamp Convention and the Tea I went to with friends Pam and Nancy.

Inspiration Emporium's July Challenge

noreply@blogger.com (Sherry Goodloe) — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 16:31:00 +0000

The challenge for the Inspiration Emporium Team (and YOU!) this month is "Embossing". The definition for embossing is:

emboss [ɪmˈbɒs]

1. (Fine Arts & Visual Arts / Art Terms) to mould or carve (a decoration or design) on (a surface) so that it is raised above the surface in low relief

2. to cause to bulge; make protrude

You can use embossing folders (like the Sizzix Texture Fades), Tim Holtz Distress embossing powders, or maybe you like using stencils with stencil paste to add a raised section to your artwork. Whatever your preferred method of embossing is, get your mojo working and create an embossed piece to enter our monthly challenge for a chance to win $50 in Emporium Dollars! Read all about it HERE

I created a business card holder necklace using one of my favorite methods for embossing. Following are the products and tools I used to create the "necklace":
The Bingo folder from the Sizzix Texture Fades Embossing Folders 2PK - Bingo & Patchwork Set used with my Tim Holtz - Vagabond Machine
Perfect Pearls Mist - Heirloom Gold
Inkssentials - Glossy Accents
Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber - Espresso
Tim Holtz - Idea-ology - Bead Chain
a crown magnet (unknown maker)
cut piece of magnet from a magnet sheet (Michael's craft store)
white cardstock
Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads
Tim Holtz non-stick micro serrated scissors
Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber - Espresso

Isn't this a cool way to carry your business cards when you're at the conventions or at a workshop or just wherever you want to have your business cards handy when someone asks "do you have a card?"

Here's the backside of the "necklace" . . .

In this photo you can see when I placed the cardstock in the embossing folder, I only left the flap out of the folder so it was smooth . . .

The business card holder (closed) is approximately 3-3/4" x 2-1/4". I'm thinking this would be a good place to hide some "emergency" money while at the rubber stamp convention this weekend :-)

Birds of Sorrow

noreply@blogger.com (Sherry Goodloe) — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 00:59:00 +0000

You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head - but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair - Chinese Proverb

I created the bird using light weight metal for body - including head, paper bird head (attached to metal), filigree pieces to create legs and feet, metal eyelets to attach the wings and legs, wooden letters to spell "FLY" and metal crown. The letters and crown were attached using Glossy Accents.

The 8" x 10" canvas was created using the following products:
Tim Holtz - Idea-ology - Paper Stash - Craft Resist
Tim Holtz Distress Stains - Antique Linen
Tim Holtz Distress Stains - Wild Honey
Distress Ink Pads - Rusty Hinge
Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber - Pitch Black
Tim Holtz - Idea-ology - Tissue Tape—Symphony
Archival #0 Pad - Jet Black

I glued the bird onto a 2" x 2" mini canvas that I painted (using a distress stain. LOVE that stuff!) and then glued the canvas onto the the larger canvas for dimension. Here's the finished piece . . .

I'm still working on the following piece. I have set it aside until I can figure out what I need to complete it . . .

I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday weekend! I'm still "following doctor's orders" and have been pushing nothing more than a paint brush :-)

Come back tomorrow for my Inspiration Design Team submission and a chance for you to be the lucky winner of $50 in Emporium Dollars this month!

A Few WIPS (Works in Progress)

noreply@blogger.com (Sherry Goodloe) — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 03:46:00 +0000

With my upcoming surgery on the 27th, I'm trying to get some projects started that I can finish up while I am at home recuperating. As the saying goes, I have "a lot of irons in the fire". But isn't that the way most of us work? Here's what I've been working on . . .

Metal . . . Wire . . . Grungeboard . . . Canvas . . . Paper . . .

Soooooo lovin' Tim Holtz Idea-ology Paper Stash Craft Resist! If you haven't picked up a pad of this stuff, you need to click on the link and get yourself some. . . .

Took a "Mini Dress Form Tutorial" over at Karla's Cottage and have altered the instructions to make even larger shelf size forms. And if you're wondering, yes, just like with most new things I learn, I already have 6 of these in the works! Here's one in progress . . .

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I will try to be back with something in a more finished state by next weekend. See you soon! xoxo

Teesha Moore, The Rubber Stamp Convention & a BC Update

noreply@blogger.com (Sherry Goodloe) — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 04:49:00 +0000

Saturday, July 9th and Sunday, July 10th is the Rubber Stamp Convention in Carson, CA at the Convention Center. This time Tim will be here. Color me (with distress inks of course) excited!

November 13, 2010 at the RSC

And get THIS . . . Teesha Moore of Zettiology will be teaching some classes on Friday, the 8th. I've already signed up for both of her classes that morning.

At 8am she will be teaching a 3-D Mixed Media Painting class . . .

and at 10:45am she will be teaching a Visual Journaling class . . .

There are some other artists teaching that day and Saturday and Sunday as well, but I figured these two classes with Teesha would be enough to get the juices flowing and the weekend off to a good start. Plus, on Saturday and Sunday I will be spending much of my time at the convention with my posterior end parked at Tim's table over in the corner at the Stampers Anonymous booth!

Ooooh, and I will be meeting up with Nancy Lynn from Using Up All That Stuff. She's flying in from Arizona for some of the classes and both days of the convention. I think we're going to have a fun, art-filled weekend!

I will be staying at the DoubleTree Hotel on the same property as the Convention Center so I don't have to drive back and forth each day. I'm treating this as a mini vacation. I've included the link to the discounted hotel info in case you decide you want to take a little vacation as well.

and now for an update on my b.c. journey: Monday, June 27th I will be going into the hospital to get the (very uncomfortable) tissue expanders removed and implants installed *yippee*. I will be recovering at home after surgery until July 5th. All of this just in time for the weekend of Teesha Moore classes, Tim Holtz and the RSC. Life is good!

The Vintage Marketplace at The Oaks

noreply@blogger.com (Sherry Goodloe) — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 04:23:00 +0000

My friend Linda Bucci and I drove out to Rainbow (near Temecula) early this morning to the Vintage Marketplace. It was a perfect day. As you can see, the sun was shining brightly even at 10 o'clock in the morning!

There are a lot of photos so left-click on the ones you want to get a better look at . . .

Rita Reade of Mammabellarte - Always a treat to see you Rita. And check out her jeans! FAB-U-LOUS . . .

Christie Repasy paints the most gorgeous roses you've ever seen! This is Christie's booth Chateau de Fleurs . . .

and that's Christie on the far left. So nice seeing you again Christie! . . .

Out and about at the event . . .

Sweet Magnolias Farm had one of my favorite decorated booths at the show. I mean really, anything decorated with vintage lace, burlap, rust, glitter and huge paper flowers?! Ooooh yeah . . .

This little vignette I just found out is from Missy Watson Duffy of Chateau Chic Boutique . . .

A snapshot of Robin Dudley Howes of Robin's Nest taking a little break and kickin' back in her booth looking as cute as ever . . .

I met a most delightful young woman from Two Wild Roses at this event. Look at the inside of the trailer that Ms. Martin brought along . . .

Ooooooh, look at the CEILING! . . .

And these are some pixs I took inside Vintage Bliss - Tricia Samsal's trailer. These vintage cards lined one of the walls . . .

Here's a photo of the back of the Bliss Lounge . . .

and my friend Linda with Tricia at the Bliss Lounge door . . .

These vintage trailers are just TOO cute!
Ok, so then we spotted this place on the same property . . .

Yes, it was a good day. And tomorrow? Well, it's the first Sunday of the month which means it's Irvine Vintage Flea Market time!

Saturday, June 4th

noreply@blogger.com (Sherry Goodloe) — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 05:07:00 +0000

Endless Hope

noreply@blogger.com (Sherry Goodloe) — Mon, 23 May 2011 00:52:00 +0000

One of my blogger friends purchased "Faith" this morning for her sister whose cancer has returned (sigh). She will be going into the hospital later this week for surgery and wanted to give her sister something more than flowers. I am so happy that I had created "Faith" and she saw it in time for me to send it directly to the hospital.

We had another nice weather day here in So Cal, so I spent it outside creating another piece inspired by all of us battling cancer and keeping a positive attitude. I titled this one "Endless Hope" . . .

I hope everyone had a good day today and that you were able to take some time out of your day to get some paint or glue or ink on your hands *smiles*
