weekend!
wow.. it's such a beautiful -almost fall- morning in kansas city!! love it. 
the only artwork i've done this week is here. my next class (OCT6) project sample. wow, i had fun with this. in the 'spirit' of the season, i made my sample using the halloween theme. all hallow's past. i'm working on an altered halloween journal for myself using an old hardback book, so of course the halloween 'elements' are scattered (and i'm not joking) all over my work area! convenient. ok.. so i took this cool little scrapbook and literally transformed it with a lot of altering. the base is a lot of layering of spray paint and acrylics. the back>(clock impress) i fell into when i used a very tacky spray paint (orange utility marking paint) that doesn't dry as fast as typical spray paint. when i impressed the stamp, i got the same end result that you get when using modeling paste. just not as deep. the paint also ran and bubbled making the rough texture appearance. very cool IRL. On the front of the book i did the same, but i spray painted the word TRICK in gold, then using a spooky tree/tombstone stencil as a mask, i used a shiny black spray paint over that, giving it a different appearance than on back. cut out book text. and love this>SHE WISHED SHE HAD A CHARM AGAINST THE WINGS OF TIME, the words seriously jumped out at me and fell right into place! on the first page of the journal i placed a tape transfer pic of the boys (oct1991 -wow) that also shows through the window on the cover of the book. so this is simple but has a lot of texture and dimension going on. 
one of my fav's of this book is the way the layers of paints have split and show through the top layer. i've got 4 diff. colors going on here!
so, this to that! I LOVE ALTERING. WOWed .
i have 10 of these books which means only 10 spots open for the class on Oct6th. if i haven't already emailed you the class info, shoot me an email and i'll get it to you!
have a good rest of your weekend! i'm off to a football game!
that's right, go on and tease me about the classes again....stamping my feet here. hugs.
