deb0670 · 03-25-2014, 01:46 AM

The construction workers just got finished yesterday and everything.. and i mean everything.. is all covered in dust!
We are working feverishly to get everything all clean.. but.. wow.. what a lot of work.

Well, since we have all mailed yours off, and the wheels are in motion, just a quickie this time may suffice. I know I have had those kinds of emerging issues too,

so some of my Stuff has been simpler than I would have liked. Outsider artist's would cut up a cereal box, paste your favorite quote on the back , written in crayon(recycling) and get it off ASAP..or something simple and fast in an emergency so the train keeps moving...

I agree with Tommi. I will wait till Monday next week, then mail all of them out on Tuesday on my way to work. PM me if yours cannot be in my hands a week from today please.

I've been wanting to participate in one of these for a long while! I'm excited

Very cool! Do you work directly on the wall, or on canvas to be hung on the wall? Do you specialize-landscapes animals people...?

I hear you, Deb. I've had quite the few trials in the past few weeks myself including my heat pump leaking refridgerant all over the place, plumbing issues, an injury and a new medical issue coupled with doctor visits, work hours going crazy on me again, several (maybe 6-7) first attempts not coming out right at all as well as a few personal set backs. I've got cut up cardboard boxes (my 'disposable' and very portable work surfaces) all over my apartment along with tubs of crafty goodness. It seriously looks like Michael's threw up in here. lol

Trust me, it seems daunting but you can do it. Like Tommi said, it doesn't have to be Shakespeare to be poetry (I'm paraphrasing). I'm a little late myself, due to what I mentioned and I thought about pulling out but by then folks had already sent some of theirs in so that wasn't an option, but there's still plenty of time to get yours in.

I'll race you!

Wild animals and birds are my favorite, then sea and landscapes, n flowers, n whatever comes into my head in the middle of the night....Only thing I don't do are people pictures. ( I do face and body painting though

. Canvas and walls too. Currently, I have three oil on canvas paintings in progress, one white tiger, a 24"X 36" stormy Oregon coast, and a ______(surprise) for kaijira. My Oil canvases hang on the walls too.

My current on the wall mural home project is painting the entry way wall and my guest bathroom.
Bathroom tile is a mossy grass green, with straw colored grouting. The walls are lemon yellow and spring green. So far, Entry way mural has green bamboo growing from floor to ceiling amid soft sky blue and puffy white clouds. From alongside the door frame, extending to the guest room the sprouts and flowers take you into the room.

Then, inside the bathroom as you enter , the far wall will have two baby panda's playing in the bamboo clearing.

So, nine .5 x.5 inch lil things will be fun.

okieblu · 03-26-2014, 10:06 AM

Sounds really neat!

(I had a long reply all typed out, and a spark of static electricity apparently turn my computer off. Luckily it doesn't seem to have done any damage, but of COURSE, I lost the reply. So let's see if I can remember it.)

Any chance of seeing your murals? I like the bamboo idea. Beautiful plant. Do you paint just for yourself or do you also work pro?

No, When I was talking about murals on canvas, I meant loose sheets, not stretched canvas. It's a good way of doing murals in a rental space, where it can't be a permanent part of the space. On a properly prepped wall, a good paperhanger can come in and put up the canvas. That way, it be carefully removed at a later date, rolled and the owner can take it with them, and not leave behind some artwork the landlord might not appreciate and charge for painting over. Or it can be simply hung from a pole, like a banner. That's one way of doing it, there are one or two others, if it's going to be a permanent piece.

SIGN UP COMPLETED for New Pen Pal Project: HALF INCHIES!!!

An Artist Trading Card (ATC) is a 2.5" x 3.5" mini work of art. An "Inchie" is the same but even smaller, 1" by 1" piece of art. A half inchie is a .5" by .5" piece of art. Tiny, tiny, tiny! Max of 10 people have signed up. That means you make 9.

There are no requirements for how you decorate your half inchies, but please only decorate one side, and write your name lightly in pencil on the back of each half inchie. If you want to specify who each half inchie is for, then write that on the back too (Practice your tiny script!). They can be ornate or very simple, whatever pleases your inner child. Please include 1 dollar (an actual dollar, no checks or money orders) for mailing costs.

Please get them to me by the end of April. I will mail them out May 1st COME HELL OR HIGH WATER, so don't even think of being late. Also, I live in a building that will not sign for packages, and my husbutch and I work so DO NOT send them with any requirement for receiving in person or signing for delivery. I will not deal with the horrible nyc post office and so it will wait and come right back to you.
