good times

My weekend was spent in 2 -5 hour classes with Donna Downey.....and i finally got to meet one of my fellow digital students (Pamela) in real life. thank you for the picture Pamela.
              both are wonderful people.
Donna was down to earth, honest and open....the message i got from her was i am here to explain techniques to you ....You can jump in head first and layer, play and create with the techniques when you go home....she wanted to help us create a book of technique references in the first class and the second class she wanted to give us places to begin to create......I loved it.....on the way home (and yes the bottom fell off the car again) i thought of the journal we started and the things i learned about me (my creation processes) and all the beginnings Donna helped us start....THANKS
when i think of all she shared and does share (on her blog and life) and her full speed a head life
i hope she Knows she is an amazing person.
FYI Donna does inspiration Wednesday (free little video of her creating) and collage mondays blog link here http://donnadowney.typepad.com/

technique tip: I just got the best brown packing paper in a box and i can not wait to wrinkle it up and glue it on to paper/canvas for background texture....

why a leather cuff?

I think we have all had times when life was/is hard and we need a little inspiration...something that brings a smile to our hearts.......happy colors, words to remind us of things we sometimes forget like how much You are loved, that yes You do matter, be brave, journey on, be true,  choose happiness to name a few. Sometimes a canvas is too big or we have no wall space....and we may need a smile where ever we are. I have PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and although the panic attacks are few now a days i wanted a little piece of art from and for my heart no matter where i am to remind me of key things like dream and be true to me or just the bright colors with the rustic finish and feel of leather that just makes me smile....so i hope that everyone who receives one of these leather cuffs looks at it and smiles and every time you wear it know you are not alone.......ART from my heart to yours!
thanks for stopping by,
