canvas of beauty

Okay I will admit it- one of my favorite blogs- other than my sisters- Tattered & Timeless is the Graphic's Fairy.  Is that nice woman not one of the best all around greatest people out there?

I mean she takes time out of her busy life to give us free clip art of all imaginable things.  Even if it isn't your type it is all beautiful and so useful.

She hosts Brag Monday to allow us all to show off how we use her gifts.

Here is what I did:

 I did a transfer using one of her images and then doing it by using gesso and a copy machine image.  It just transfers the ink from the paper to the canvas.  It was such fun to do I can't wait to do many more.  I can see Christmas ones, spring ones - oh the list just goes wild.

Join other to see what they are bragging about at the Graphic Fairy's Brag Monday
And since this is so vintage and antique white I thought it would be a nice thing to share at
 Faded Charm for White Wednesday.

Silver to behold

Another new item I did for Cameron this year was some silver.  I found an article somewhere that showed taking silver trays and painting on them and then embellishing them with crystals.

I did a few and thought I'd share them with you all.

I've created some Christmas ones also but will share them at a later time.

thanks for checking in with my creativity.

A little Wordle type Art

Well since being slammed before and now after Cameron Day I haven't had time to share my newest creations with you. I played around with wordle a bit and came up with some pretty awesome art pieces.  My favorite - words of the NC beaches sold pretty quickly and I'll share a picture of it soon.  But here are two pieces I sent down to my sister's booth to sell.

This was my take on Halloween.  Cute isn't it?

And this was to go with the way my sister does the booth - all vintage, shabby - well the name of her business - all "tattered & timeless".

Cameron Day May 2010 is complete.

Well we completed our May 2010 Cameron Day.  My sister does not have reliable access to a computer at this time so I figured I'd let her followers know how it went.  You know a little sister sharing stuff.

The day was perfect- no rain, a bit of a breeze and sunshine- but most importantly there were shoppers.  We had a great turnout and couldn't be more thankful for all the ladies that shopped with us and the men that were along for the ride.

This is a peek at our booth space- my sister is a bit more laid back but I am a girl that believes in "GO BIG OR GO HOME"  So of course we had to decorate it up to the nines.  Thankfully we had a great deal of help from my friend Liz from Texas- thanks a bunch to you and your foofing the space.

Here is a closeup of some of the items Trisha made..notice the very cute pails covered in sheet music with the birds nests on top.. And of course she loves frogs so one had to have a frog in it.

Here she did a tin box full of eggs..a large nest with a bird on it and some apothecary jars containing nests.

Here you will notice two of her paintings..one of a more whimsical bird and the other of a nest of very realistic eggs..my fave painting in my opinion..

Here you will see many of her new paintings hanging on the shutters..she also made some hair bows hanging on a ribbon on the right shutter and she did the sheet music lamp on the blue dresser.

More paintings on the back shutter,

My favorite of all her creations is the sheet music egg that is on the huge nest sitting on the spring..is that not the cutest dang thing you have ever seen?

More paintings..

Another shot of my fave - the egg.

Here is Trisha relaxing on her porch with my daughter(her niece) Sophie.  Along for the selling experience is her co-worker/friend Jenn and her hubby..

Well that is it for the show this May.  We'll be back at it in October again..So, please Join us the first Saturday in October to shop with us and see our newest creations..
Only 152 days to go Trisha - thanks for going on this adventure with me-
love your sis,
