Artsy Lady Canvas at Bella Crafts

I'm back again for Bella Crafts Publishing, to show you a painting I've made using some awesome paints from Deco Art Media. I was so fortunate to have received several boxes of Deco Art goodness back in January, just to try it out. Can you believe that? WOW! Talk about a generous company, as I've seen many bloggers come away with boxes of goodies from them. Thank you Deco Art, and I LOVE your goods! 

Back to the painting...my daughter loves make-up and all who have iconically worn it. Recently, she found a picture of a painting of Marilyn Monroe, and left it on my work desk. That translates to, "Hey Mom, make this for me!". While I couldn't copy the work exactly, as it's someone either than me, I did the best I could at capturing the face, and although more like Madonna...;0)...I'm happy with the result, and more importantly she was very happy with it. To see the tutorial click on over to Bella Crafts, but here are a few more pictures of the 24x24 canvas.

A Little Uptown Funk at Bella Crafts!!!

Hello everyone! Today, I'm so excited as I have my first post up for Bella Crafts Publishing! If you follow my blog, you know I don't show my art journals very much...too personal, yikes... but I've decided to start a Music Art Journal, and I plan to show that one a lot! ;0) My great friend Yvonne Blair, of Life's Little Details, gave me one of her new Inky Art Journals by Paplin Industries, so I'm breaking it in with a little Uptown Funk...my new favorite song...and the new Runway and Carved Instruments Stamp Sets from Tim Holtz and Stamper's Anonymous. The video and the beat inspired me so much!!! The full tutorial is over on the Bella Crafts Publishing Blog, but here are a few close ups of the art journal spread! Do doe doe, do doe doe, do doe doe, do doe doe!!!
