Inspiration Deck

I have been wanting to make an inspiration deck for quite some time and I finally got it started. I took a standard sheet of watercolour paper and marked off my cards on one side trimmed off the excess, then flipped it over and started painting. It has many layers of paint, text papers, stamps and more painted layers using lots of different tools. This is the final result just before I chopped it all up into 64 cards that are ATC sized (2.5 x 3.5") Below is a close up detail. It shows the pizza cutter lines and the sequins waste dots as well as some cheese cloth. I am very happy with the results and now I have to get busy and customize the fronts of my cards. :)

Iluminating

This just makes me giggle.
This is mounted on the wall in my studio and the eyes are 8 x 24" and the nose is 8 x 10"

I have been wanting to do some lettering on canvas or muslin, illuminated and Blackletter so I combined them for my initial on muslin.

Oh no! I went and looked at Teesha Moores post on the ipad and I already wanted one and now I see there is a bunch of cool apps to play with for your art. I think I'm a goner now!
