Season 3 Day 25

Wow the days are rapidly going by!

 

I have been a busy girl lately working on lots of challenges and have jumped in on the box exchange this month for the Freespirit Secre Sister Box Swap Group that is on facebook.

Here is a sneak peak of the box ..  This month’s theme was My Shabby Story and it is an altered book box with a side challenge of an altered library drawer.

Plus on facebook there is a really cool company out of Australia that produces the most gorgeous looking dies and they are having a give away!

Season 3 Days 10 to 15

Man o Man am I ever co-creating with the universe lately!!

I in the last six days have manifested lots of art tools and supplies at garage sales, a street festival and in thrift stores.

Last Saturday we went back to my hometown of Woodstock, Ontario, Canada and attended the Street Festival which used to be called a sidewalk sale when I was young.  Anyways we stepped into this thrift store on the main drag and I ended up getting a never used stampin up stamp cleaner and a full set of cute saying stamps for 4 dollars!!  The regular price for the stamp cleaner unit is nearly 30 dollars alone!  Let alone the stamp set which would probably go for the 4 dollars if not more alone.  I am so lucky and grateful for all the art finds this season..

and today being day 15 I casually walked into the local thrift store here in Stratford and lo and behold not only did I pick up a book on scrapbooking techniques worth thirty bucks brand new and some magazines but also a brand new never used holiday stamping kit and plastic doll molds!!  Those doll molds were a dollar and they were never used at all to boot!!

I have also finished another challenge.. Card in Motion .. my entry was a never ending card.  here I will post the

Front face of the card

This journey just keeps getting more and more exciting and I can not wait to see what manifests next!

Season 3 Days 5 to 9

This has been a long work week for which I am very grateful for as it allows me to keep a roof over my head, food on my table and art supplies in my hot little hands.

I belong to several art groups on Facebook and in one of them we have several monthly challenges that until now I have not participated in.

As my theme for this season is to develop my artistic style I have chosen to participate this month’s challenges.  Not only does this get me arting but it also gives me inspiration and the resulting projects have literally assembled themselves ,.. my hands were only the tools to make themselves manifest.  Here are the two projects I have finished yesterday and today.

Yesterday’s Finish my Tag Challenge entry:

and Today’s Altered Dress Form Challenge using Recycled Materials Entry

Season 3 Day 4

Day four of my third season was tremendously satisfying. 

I had spent the day cleaning and organizing my studio and in the process found spaces for all the new art supplies that have come my way in the last few days and spent quality time with my hubby to boot!

I am so grateful for my hubby as he is a maser organizer when we work together we accomplish so much!  Much more than on our own.  I now have a clear table to do my art on once again and look forward to finishing up some projects and venturing into new realms of art including making my own paper clay molds and porcelain clay.

Life is so much fun right now and I am so blessed and grateful!

Season 3 Days 2 and 3

Day 2

I am so grateful that I have not one but two jobs as the same location.  I am lucky to have a stable source of income.  No artwork done today but I did work 12 hours.  The day was tiring yes but went by fast.

Day 3

I am amazed!  I had set out to find a shuttle for my looms and went to a gigantic antiques warehouse hoping to discover one there.  I did not find one but I had stated to myself that if I could not find a shuttle then surprise me with items I am in need of.

Within 5 minutes of me saying this .. out loud no less I ended up finding lace trims, glitter sprays, and dies for my die cutting machine!!  All in new condition no less!!

This season is all about the development of my artistic style and supplies and tools have been falling into my lap at bargain basement prices!!  Before we even left town to go to the antiques warehouse we went garage saling and I got a new sewing machine smaller than my full size one and a mini chest to alter.

Today has been exciting and inspiring and I can not wait to see where my journey goes next!

Thanks for reading!!

Bring on Season 3 of the 100 Day Challenge!!

I am back for season 3!  I really love this challenge as when I look back I have realized that it has worked even if I am not actively pursuing it on a daily basis.

This time around I have picked today August 1st as my beginning point for season 3.  I have been preparing for this day for about two weeks or so now and I have found that manifestations have already started to appear for which I am extremely joyous and grateful for.

This season my goal all revolve around my life as an artist..  to increase my output to be more connected to the art I do produce and just to relax and let inspiration flow to and through me.

What manifestations of this have I seen since I set the intention about two weeks ago? 

Inspiration in the form of past issues of Cloth Paper Scissors and many used art technique books that I have stumbled upon at garage sales and thrift stores for phenomenally low prices

Art supplies either given to me or bought for low prices

At least a half a dozen different weaving looms have come to me in one way or another!!

I am so lucky and grateful and excited to see where my art journey takes me next!

Bring on Season 3!!
