Daily Painters Art Gallery

As of July 2007, there were 110 artists participating in the daily painting concept on the Daily Painters Art Gallery. You can search the collection by topic and media, and I’ve found several participants who are primarily collage and mixed media artists.
Overall, I think this collective gallery approach is a great way to get the […]

Teacup clock

I’ve seen this done several times before, but never quite as simply and beautifully as Danny Seo’s. The rest of Danny’s blog is well worth a look too: Simply Green is packed with wonderful green information.

As a tea lover, I find this quite appealing ;)

Color to dye for: Julie Theaker’s tutorial

The Gory DeTales!

Make Art Monday!
My friend Jen Worden had a brilliant piece included in the Edward Gorey inspired ABCDery. The project was profiled in the most recent issue of Somerset Studio, but unfortunately they didn’t have the space to included all of the pieces. I particularly liked Jen’s, and with her permission, I’m sharing it with you […]
