Congrats, Beth! Way to go, girl! Your project is wonderful. It deserved to be published.
Happy Halloween! or better yet Merry Christmas to me.....
....I'm so excited! Can you tell? Today in the mail I received the newest issue of Somerset Gallery Winter 2009 and I'M PUBLISHED!!!!!! Check out the magazine on sale Dec. 1st Here is a photo of the artwork that was published
Stunning work, Beth. I always love what you do! I'm enamored with the hanging that you made for the pocket. It's awesome! I was going to ask what you used as the hardware for hanging, but KathyMc answered that for me in her comment. I love the look. Now to scour around the internet and look for some!
Carla's Pocketful
The last pocketful! These are my pages for Carla's pocketful
Wow, Beth...these are absolutely breath-taking! What lovely picture postcards these would make!! And hey...be thankful that your son chose the law degree. We know all about those starving artists! He can always do the art as a sideline.
Proud Mama
My son recently visited Walt Disney World and he has graciously allowed me to post some of his stunning photos of Cinderella's Castle. You can see more of his photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/10245245@N07/ He is a fantastic artist, but chose to pursue a different career of law. He is i...
Wow, Beth! Your necklace is absolutely divine! Such soft colors...a perfect match to the egg nest. Did you patina the metal afterwards?
Day three in Oregon /Deryn's class continued
Well the class today was just fantastic! I learned many more new things and I finished my necklace! Here are some more pictures from the class today. Oh! and a Big thanks to Denise Mares for hostessing this event. It was held in the Arbor Rose Clubhouse, right in her neighborhood. What a great...
Wow, Beth...these are EXQUISITE! The colors are to die for, and I love the mixture of materials that you used. The addition of the key to the side of the page is definitely the finishing touch.
Christy's Pocketful
Well finally here are some pictures of the pages I did in Christy's book.
Pamela...what a darling giveaway! I'm so glad to see you participating. I would be thrilled to be added to your drawing. Thanks for coming by my blog to visit. It was good to hear from you.
One World One Heart
Something old or something new...A Valentine made just for you! I had a lovely note from my friend Chris telling me about Lisa's second annual Valentine Art Swap. And Chris is right what an amazing event! So, I am adding a piece of art to give from my heart. It is a 5 x 5 shadowbox with a "...
Wow, Karen..I can't believe what a fantastic book you have offered for this event. I love your work, and would be thrilled to be added to your drawing. Please feel free to stop by my blog and check out my offering.
ONE World-ONE Heart Giveaway
Several of my friends are participating in the 2nd Annual ONE World-ONE Heart Giveaway. The excitement is contagious, and I have decided to join in. The idea is to connect bloggers who might never meet otherwise. My giveaway is my little book, "Haunted". I featured it on my blog on August 10, ...
Pam..your purse is awesome! I love the colors..it looks very vintage! I can't wait to hear about the event.
The Event Challenge
As part of Artfest4 the Soul, participants were challenged to create a Bra Purse to be auctioned off to benefit cancer research. Here is my entry...
This came out beautiful, Beth! The colors, with the imagery, make the piece look very antique.
Paris Art
This weekend I finished artwork for the pocketful RR that I am in. I had Andi's book and I was so excited she had a large pocket so I could do an 8x8 canvas. I am really pleased with my end result and used colors that I would typically not use. I want to make myself something using these colors....
This is beautiful, Karen! Simple yet full of expression.
Out of the Blues
In addition to all the wonderful memories from Serenbe (see previous post), I brought home a terrible cold that I can't seem to shake, and it has me singing the blues. However, I managed to put together another nature shadowbox, so I'm taking a break from sneezing and coughing to post it.
Leslie's page is SO cute! What a great example for how to use your collage image of this little boy!
Golden Morning
I wish I had a photo that captured my first glimpse of the outside world this morning. It rained here last night (much needed rain!), and this morning when the sun was still low in the sky, golden fingers reached through the leaves caressing winking water droplets and sparkling spider webs. The ...
This page came out so beautifully. The addition of the feathers really adds to the entire theme, and your tag is gorgeous!
Is there a special technique that you use on your backgrounds? They look very textural in the scan.
Golden Evening
After yesterday morning's golden beginning, the whole day sparkled. I love autumn — the light, the shadows, the colors and the cooler air. The gold of the sun remained within me all day inspiring me to use gold in my art. Last night I worked in Christy's pock-et-FULL book. The pocket itself is ...
Your website looks beautiful and very professional! You've done a great job.
New Website
I have totally revamped my website, The Art of Karen O!. I have a page featuring my new collage sheets for sale. Check out the new look!
I absolutely adore this..not only the image, but what you have done with it! The background and entire composition are FANTASTIC!!
It's a boy!
I feel like I've just given birth! I have been in labor all week trying to create a piece of art, and this baby did not want to be born. On my work table, there are at least 3 false starts — backgrounds, a pile of birds I've cut out, and other assorted images and words. Finally, at 1:55 p.m. t...
I'm glad to hear that "life is good". That means that both you and your son are fairing well after last month's setbacks. That is such good news!
I LOVE all of the artwork that you posted. Your pages in Santa's book are BEAUTIFUL! Love the colors that you used, and the design is awesome.
LOVE the triptych! Another thing to add to my "List of things to do"! That was so sweet of you to let your SIL have the finished product. I would have found it hard to part with!
Life is Good.....
This week has finally been a return to all things normal. I have not posted lately and had been going through some things with my old and now new/old job. I quit my job, statred a new job for 4 days quit that and went back to my old job. Long story but glad I am back where it feels like home. Du...
This is awesome! I love it!
Roots
Recently on my morning walks with Riley - I have been finding some really neat roots.. now personally I find it hard to come across a good root. One with lots of neat rooty stuff and yet not too soft and unstable or fragile. I had been thinking about the pieces I wanted to do once I had a root...
Oh, what fun! I didn't realize that you were going to be a vendor there! Do you know JoAnna Pierotti? She is teaching 2 awesome classes there. You should sign up for her doll class. They're awesome!
Hope you got my "thank you" email. It was a little late in coming, but I did want to acknowledge your very thoughtful and generous gift.
Your table is waiting....
Next weekend I will be a Vendor at Artfest4thesoul in Cromwell,Ct. Since there are no retreats of this type in the Northeast sooo.. this will be a first and I am delighted they invited' me as a vendor. During this week I will try to post some of the items I will be taking for my table. The ven...
