Hello friends! Can you believe it's Monday already? These weeks are flying by at the moment but as always the start of a brand new week mea...
Tell me, What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? Detail from an original collage I made in Graphic design class last year. Ever feel like you still don't have it all figured out? As an adult I thought I would have it all mapped out long ago. I keep plugging along, hoping my "someday" dream will turn into reality. A friend of mine thinks she is having a mid-life crisis. She probably is. Because what nobody tells you is that defining yourself, readjusting your reality, tweaking your goals, is an ongoing job. You sometimes wonder if you'll ever get where you want to go. On the other hand, what would you have to look forward to if you did? Got a dream? Can you see it getting closer? Feel like it's a lost cause? Don't give up. Share. Realize we all feel a little hopeless. Am I right? Wrong? Talk to me....
When it comes to art, many of us enjoy the many sensual benefits that it has to offer but hesitate to take up any form of it as we feel that it is too tough.
Rubber stamping, mixed media, collage, scrapbooking, altered arts, jewelry, ink arts, cardmaking and more.
Here is a woven person project that I've been working on. The weaving is not that difficult so I could easily do this with Grade 2 and up (even grade 1 with a little extra help). It has added text so it is a good thematic art project that encompasses weaving (art), language arts, and computers. You need a piece of cardboard to make your loom. I cut 9 notches in mine at the top and the bottom. You can make it bigger if you want. Now you need to wrap the warp (say that 10 times fast). Knot the first one and then wrap the string into each notch around the back and back to the front until all notches have string. Knot off the last one. Now start weaving. The first 9 weft strings will also form the arms so cut 9 pieces about 24 inches long and weave them in one by one leaving the same amount of extra yarn on both sides. Don't forget to alternate "over, under". Move your cardboard sideways and divide the yarn ends into 3 groups of 3. Braid a loose arm. You want it a little bit longer than 1/2 the length of the cardboard loom when it is in the upright position. Repeat on the other arm. It should look something like this. Now knot on your yarn and continue weaving the sweater of your person. When you come to the end of one side just continue back again alternating "over,under". You can use a fork to help you push the weft up to keep it tight. When you get to the waist you can also pull it in tighter to get the shape of a person. When you get to the waist change colors by knotting the 2 ends together and start to weave the pants. After a couple of inches separate and weave a single leg. Please note if you have an odd number of warp strings just group 2 together and treat it as one. Knot off the leg at the end and then go back and do the other leg. You can flare the pants out a bit at the bottom by adjusting how tight you weave. It should look like this. Cut the warp strings in thru the middle of the back and then tie off 2 at a time. For a clean look you can pull the ends thru the weaving on the back side a bit and then trim ends. Now you have to decide what to do with your person. I wanted to mount it in a picture so I made heads out of heavy watercolor paper. If you wanted to leave it as a pure textile you could make a head out of fabric. Here I'm painting the faces. Paint a background. When I cut the heads out I left a long neck which I glued to the woven body, I then glued it into place on the background. I added some shoes out of felt. I wanted to add some text to it to make it an art project with extra layers to it. I printed out on the computer all the words for yarn and string I could think of and copied it down the page. I printed this off and painted it with some light watercolor. I cut the words SWEATER from it but you can do whatever concept suits for your class. I also added a little text line to pull viewers thru the picture. You could have students write a Fall poem or a poem about wind, having to wear sweaters, etc. That's it. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I am taking a few days off to present at an Early Childhood Education conference in Saskatoon. I won't be back with a post till next week. See you then.
Traveling to Hawaii a few weeks ago I have to say I felt uninspired. I was just tired. Things have been busy. I was excited for the trip but needed the down time. My art journal accompanied us and on the way there this was all I could muster up which is so unlike me........

Can you believe that this challenge has been going on for 13 years! We’re teenagers! The time has flown by hasn’t it! We would like to say a huge thank you to all of our fellow crafters who have joined us over the years and we hope you will continue to join us.

Today I 'm glad to remind you our annual Simon Says Stamp Kid's Summer Vacation Challenge. The challenge is reserved to the kids, no adults allowed. HERE we host a special challenge dedicated to our young designers . Eccovi la mia tag con i 4 passaggi principale. Per il colore dello sfondo (manca la foto purtroppo!) ho usato i Distress Stain e qualche goccia del nuovo verde della collezione di Mica Stain di Halloween del 2023, Specimen. La farfalla è colorata sempre con i nuovi Mica Stain che sono veramente bellissimi. Uno dei miei colori preferiti è Unravelled, una specie di color champagne che so già userò tantissimo anche a Natale! Ho aggiunto un washi tape AAll & Create, Blushy, che ho coperto con Embossing Glaze Antique Linen e uno stencil lotza Dots usato con Distress Texture paste Translucent e polvere da embossing nel colere Copper. Spero vi piaccia! Here is my tag with the main 4 steps. For the background color (the photo is missing, unfortunately!) I used Distress Spray Stains and a few drops of the new green from the 2023 Halloween Mica Stain collection, Specimen. The butterfly is always colored with the new Mica Stains which are truly beautiful. One of my favorite colors is Unravelled, a kind of champagne color that I already know I will use a lot even at Christmas! I added an AAll & Create washi tape, Blushy, which I covered with Embossing Glaze Antique Linen and Lotza Dots stencil used with Distress Texture paste Translucent and embossing powder in Copper color. Hope you like it! So now it’s YOUR turn to get out your inks, paints and all things arty and start creating! We are looking forward to seeing what you make!

This week, first grade started their mixed media sail boat picture! Here's how we created them! Materials: Day 1: I gave them their choice of boat colors, gave them the white paper, a strip of black, paint, and a paintbrush & cup. They followed me in drawing the sails, and drawing the boat. We cut those out, and glued those on! Then, I demonstrated how to use the paintbrush and paint to make short, choppy brushstrokes to create the texture of the water. I talked about layering colors, and how they should be able to still see each color, that it should not be blended all together! Here's what they finished on day 1! Awesome art, Mrs. Walker's class!! Great job Mrs. Black's class! Day 2: We'll use the color of our boat to create a reflection in the water, we'll add clouds, a little flag on the top of our boat, and add some shadows on the sides of the boat with an oil pastel! Here are some finished lovelies from Mrs. Hartz's class!

In my last post, I showed you some of Sabrina Ward Harrison’s artwork and talked about what she shared with us at her artist visit. Her artwork is very inspiring, messy and beautiful. Please check out the other post to learn all about this artist. After the presentation, smaller groups of kids in grades 3-6 had a collage workshop with Sabrina. She demonstrated how to use Mod-Podge to paste down pieces of her pinwheel shape. While she demonstrated the pinwheel … Read more... →
