85. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hi Art Friends!</span></div>
86. <div style="text-align: center;">
87. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
88. <div style="text-align: center;">
89. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It has been so gloomy here with the wintry weather.  It's miserable to go outside but a perfect time to be in my craft room.  I find serenity and peace there; especially when I turn on some relaxation music with nature sounds tucked in.</span></div>
90. <div style="text-align: center;">
91. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
92. <div style="text-align: center;">
93. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I wanted to share something with you this morning.  I have a metal clock I found at Hobby Lobby years ago in a clearance section.  It is a plain metal clock with the paper face of the clock partially torn off.  I don't know how long it had been sitting there but the second I locked eyes on it, I knew it had potential to be something other than what would probably have ended up being tossed.  So, I brought it home with me and it sat on my work table for probably two years.  Now I'm sure none of you has EVER brought something home with the best of intentions to immediately create a masterpiece only to have it sit and collect dust.  Right?!? </span></div>
94. <div style="text-align: center;">
95. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
96. <div style="text-align: center;">
97. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyway ... the other day, I was cleaning and organizing in my craft room and there was my clock.  This was the day I would give that pathetic little thing a new purpose!  So I started with some white gesso over the face and top of the clock so that whatever I ended up doing with it would have a surface that would "grab" anything I decided to do.</span></div>

104. <div style="text-align: center;">
105. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This was my poor little clock when I started.  I loved the exposed intricacies of the "guts" of the clock. I knew that I wanted to color them but leave them as they are because they are art by themselves.</span></div>

112. <div style="text-align: center;">
113. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I gathered several pieces of scrap cardstock that I always keep.  I tore a little of this and that and created a new face for my clock; something that would compliment the skeleton already provided for me.</span></div>

120. <div style="text-align: center;">
121. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I added a touch of lace and tissue as well as the torn cardstock to the face using DecoArt Media Matte Medium as a glue and then as a sealer over the face.  This way, anything else I added to "age" the face would protect the design I already had in place.</span></div>

128. <div style="text-align: center;">
129. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The dome of the clock was crying to be recreated into shabby/vintage/slightly industrial style top.  Here are some metal cogs with Tando Creative Bolts and Screw Tops made from chipboard glued in place.  Alternating between them are sweet little lace hearts.  All glued in place and then brushed over with White Gesso.  I also painted all of the tower tops on the clock base with White Gesso for aging.</span></div>

137. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now to get the new and improved dome of the clock back to a similar color of the metal of the original clock. This was done using Creative Expressions Cosmic Shimmer Raw Umber.  I also randomly brushed paint over the still raw metal on the clock just to blend it better with the sections I had been altering.</span></div>

145. <div style="text-align: center;">
146. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To enhance the clock face, I first added touches of a wash created with Creative Expressions Cosmic Shimmer Raw Umber and water (using my finger).  I wiped off the excess using a baby wipe.  Then I added a wash of Creative Expressions Cosmic Shimmer Cobalt Teal mixed with a touch of water and DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics Translucent White.  It made a beautiful soft patina teal-ish color that perfectly accented the face of the clock.  This color combination would also create a lovely patina look on my next step.</span></div>

153. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
154. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While just fooling around with the wash, I figured out that if I just filled my brush with a watery mix of the Cobalt Teal and the Translucent white and slopped it onto the metal surface of the clock, I could move the paint around in random patterns with the hot air coming from the heat tool.  I added more paint in areas and repeated the heat tool technique.  This is what I ended up with.  I LOVE IT!!!  Very random and very old looking!</span></div>

162. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now to add the rusted appearance to the clock.  This was easily done using my finger and Creative Expressions Cosmic Shimmer Quinacridone Gold.  I just rubbed the paint randomly over areas of the clock to bring out highlights and detail that touch of rusty aging.</span></div>

212. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The now repurposed sad little clock has new life!  I added the little gold roses in the center of each of the lace hearts on the dome as well as two little half crowns blued together and altered to match the new clock look. </span><br />

217. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The clock face opens out.  Here you can really get a look at the "guts" of the clock and why I am so fascinated by them.

Roll Up!" through Creative Expressions.</span></div>

371. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
372. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">DecoArt is releasing some new paints in tubes from the Traditions line.  I was lucky enough to be given some of them to try.  I LOVE them!  So creamy and smooth going on. New White Gesso as well.  It's amazing!</span></div>

482. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hello everyone!</span></div>

485. <div style="text-align: center;">
486. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am excited to share my latest creation for Andy Skinner's Creative Design Team.  It's a 5" x 7" burlap canvas.  You can click <a href="https://andyskinnerorg.blogspot.com/2019/07/the-eyes-are-windows-of-soul.html"><span style="color: red;"><b>HERE</b></span></a> for all of the details on how this piece was created.</span></div>

492. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
493. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was gifted with this fabulous mysterious eye by a dear friend in the UK ... Carol Findon.  She makes these eyes in different colors and sizes.  If you are interested in purchasing some, just private message her on her Facebook account for more details.  They are fantastic and this eye was the inspiration for this piece.</span><br />
494. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
495. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This canvas was very introspective for me as I was creating it.  It's funny how art imitates life; even when we're not aware of it at the time we are creating it.  I've always believed that someone's art is their way of really expressing what is going on within when sometimes words just don't come.</span><br />
496. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
497. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"The eyes are the windows of the soul" is such a true statement. Except, instead of looking into someone's eyes; how about trying to see out of someone else's eyes...see the world from their "window"?</span><br />
498. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
499. <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">This past month or two has really given me lots of opportunities to reacquaint myself with some valuable lessons about what is important and not taking anything for granted. Dealing with some serious family health issues has taught me that things are often not what they may appear to be. There is good and bad in this world.  Learn to differentiate between the two and how to move forward through life.</span><br />
500. <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
501. <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope that you will let your heart and your creative soul speak through your work. It means so much more when you finish and then realize you were actually speaking to yourself through your art.</span><br />
502. <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
503. <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Enjoy your day!</span></div>

671. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hello again! </span></div>

674. <div style="text-align: center;">
675. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am so excited to be back on DecoArt's Media Design Team this year.  I absolutely LOVE DecoArt's Media Line; as well as ALL of their products.  They make mixed media so much fun and you can rely on their quality and results.</span></div>

678. <div style="text-align: center;">
679. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Since it's winter and I am not a huge fan of winter, my heart is longing for the warmth of springtime with everything coming back to life.  Outside my window, I hear my little feathered friends asking for food and longing for the cover of leaves back on the trees.</span><br />
680. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
681. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While strolling through a craft store the other day, I spied a very cute little wooden birdhouse.  Only about 6" tall, but so full of potential, I knew I could transform it into something funky and fun.  The little wooden propeller on the front was my inspiration to create something a little bit shabby chic but with a bit of edgy steampunk! </span><br />
682. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
683. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Don't think those two genres go together?  Well, if you imagine it, then it can happen!</span></div>

749. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Beginning with a 3 1/2" square candle holder turned on it's side; we found a background piece using scrap cardstock.  That was cut and glued in place using Fabri-Tac Glue.  Next, we sized and cut a thin piece of corrugated cardboard for the base of our little vignette.</span></div>

757. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Going through my stash of snowmen, snowflakes, pine cones, deer, trees, little fence pieces, bells, ribbons and tinsel trim; anything related to winter was so much fun!  After deciding on the scene I wanted to create, I used a palette knife or my fingers to apply DecoArt's Snow-Tex onto the surface my little evergreen trees, fence, snowman and pine cones.  Then I immediately added DecoArt Crystal Glamour Dust over the wet Snow-Tex to give that added freshly fallen snow glisten to the fluffs of snow. </span></div>

773. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I glued three flat glittery snowflakes onto the interior sides of the glass jar using Fabri-Tac.  It dried clear and the snowflakes look as if they are suspended in air.  Then I added double sided tape around the glass jar about 3/4" from the top.  Next I pressed the tinsel ribbon in place on the bottom and the sides going up the glass jar leaving plenty to tie a nice bow at the top.  I added a couple of extra loops of the tinsel ribbon by gluing them in place.  Then I added on the wired snowflakes, snowman bell, the two little snow covered evergreens, pine cones and finally the little silver jingle bells. </span></div>

781. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Once dry, I pushed the scene in place inside of the glass jar.  It's not glued in place so I can change out the scenes if I wish to do so. </span></div>

785. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This was such a fun and easy project to do!  The Snow-Tex and Glamour Dust add so much to a winter project with absolutely little to no effort.  Just use a palette knife, craft stick or your finger to apply the Snow-Tex and then sprinkle with the Glamour Dust fine glitter while it's still wet.  It dries to a harden sparkly snow-like finish!</span></div>
