This card was created for the Art Creations Friday blog. The challenge was to use this lovely vintage photo of a lady at her spinning wheel.
I made the card so that it folded open to reveal two other panels. I was really happy with the way the vintage paper and lace worked with the colours in the photograph. A special thank you to Art Freeby for supplying the wonderful image!

Autumn Quote

As you know, I love doing art blog challenges! I think I have one for every day of the week now...
This challenge is from a great blog, called One Powerful Hour. The trick is to try and complete the challenge in one hour. This week's challenge was AUTUMN. A favourite subject of mine, the quotes about this season are always so beautiful, and have such great imagery to work with. Combine that with the beautiful autumn color palette (provided courtesy of my favourite COPIC markers) and I was able to come up with this lovely little piece.

Vintage Inchies

Here are couple of VINTAGE inchies that I did for a challenge posted at the Small World of Inchies and Twinchies blog. Inchies are so much fun! The challenge of creating on such a small scale is a great thing to do, I recommend you give them a try...

WELCOME

For this weeks Illustration Friday prompt, I decided to create a Welcome sign using a retro autumn palette.

I would like to introduce you to one of my heroes, my online friend, Bernie Berlin.
Bernie is an amazing woman. In addition to being an incredible mixed media artist, Bernie runs a shelter for dogs and cats called A Place To Bark. Bernie has rescued thousands of sick, abused and abandoned animals. She is up all hours of the day and night caring for sick dogs and cats, and every week Bernie drives from Tennessee to Chicago with her van full of healed dogs and cats, so that they can be put up for adoption.
Right now, one of her dogs, Alphie, is in the Cutest Dog Competition on the All American Pets Brand website.
If her dog wins, Bernie will receive desperately needed funds for her shelter. If you’d like to help Bernie, and all of the animals, please register and vote here for this little love. You can even vote every day!

Molly and I have a challenge for all of you who have dogs or cats that YOU love. Go and make a donation to A Place to Bark, as I have. (I used PayPal) If all of us make a donation, we can help Bernie continue her amazing work!

I created this piece as part of a challenge on the blog, KIMBERLY'S MIXED MEDIA ART. Kimberly is running a contest using her Peaceful Lady image, and will be creating a collage sheet of some of the selected entries. Using my COPIC markers, I used a quote, featuring my lettering. Please visit Kimberley's blog after September 15th to vote on your favourite entry. Who knows, it may even be mine!
More Inchy Magnets...
Strong
This piece is for another Illustration Friday prompt, STRONG.
When I think of Strength, I think of the women, like my mother, who have had to battle breast cancer in their lifetime. Some, like my mother, have won that battle, and some, sadly, have lost. But all have shown strength that always leaves me in awe.
This is for you, ladies.
