Artist of the day Tamara

Artist of the day Tamara (DBA) Block Party Press. This artist usually works in clay as you can see here in her etsy shop: Block Party Press.

I came upon here aceo's on Flickr. Really unique what she does with here left overs .

BIO

I finally found a way to combine many of my creative interests into one area. I love to use handcarved stamps (blocks, hence the Block Party title) to create amazing texture with polymer clay. I then further bring out the texture with acrylic paints. You will find many things in my shop, from pendants and earrings and bracelets, to photo holders, placecard holders and tabletop rock gardens. Yes, there will also eventually be some paper products as well (it is a press after all). Enjoy looking around! Custom orders are always considered, so contact me if you have a great idea that I may be able to bring to life. Now here is a little about me:

As with many artists, I have been drawing and making things for as long as I can remember. Sometimes my brain overflows with more ideas than my hands and my wallet can keep up with. I love texture, patterns, contrast, color (especially red, white & black and any pastel color paired with chocolate brown). I also love creating art with recycled items(trash). I am self-taught through much trial and error and a SAHM of 2 boys. I hope you enjoy my creations, as much as I enjoyed creating them!

Bio

Rebecca Collins
"I studied fine art at North Texas University and earned my B.F.A. in 1985. My fascination with the computer of course came much later while I was earning my living as an independent greeting card publisher. I know it sounds corny, and yet I have to say my journey into the world of custom pet portraits was inspired by my first Scottish Terrier, Atticus.

My work is highly layered and I work with a stylus and wacom tablet adding hand drawn lines and "paint" drips and splatters. I print on high quality materials and work hard to make each pet portrait a unique work of art. Each piece is highly detailed with rich color and texture.

I enjoy working with young designers and artists and I place a high value on education and training. Last year I started a routine called 'tutorial Fridays' where everyone in the studio ( all 3 of us) would stop our projects for an hour or longer to gather around one computer and share a tip or trick that we thought the others may not know. After working alone during my first few years in business, I really value my people and all that we can learn from each other. "

Artist of the day Amanda O

Artist of the day Amanda O. Just came upon her on a great site "Art Cards Wanted". OMG !!  She has some fab work.

BIO

I am a self-taught collage/mixed media artist who began creating in 2004. Most of my work consists of paper collage but I also dabble in assemblage on occasion as well as fabric arts, cross-stitch and embroidery. I enjoy the slightly sinister and prefer work with a darker edge.
I am a medical social worker by trade, but left a stressful public hospital job a year ago to stay home with my first-born son who is now 16 months old.

I work almost exclusively in watercolour (though I occasionally work in gouache) and paint all types of subject matter, from portraits and florals to landscapes. I find inspiration from all sorts of places - from books and films, music and history and from the world I experience around me.

I recently began painting ACEO's (Art Card Editions and Originals). These small paintings (3.5 x 2.5 inches is the standard size) are not only great fun to do but also challenging and rewarding. They are also highly collectible and a great way for art appreciators to build a collection at a reasonable price.

I also paint on a larger scale and take commissions. I especially enjoy painting portraits, both human and animal. You can read more about commissioning a painting by using the link at the top of the page.

If you click on the "Items For Sale" link it will give you a list of sites through which my work is available to buy, either originals or prints.

Thank you for your time and interest in me and my work.

Bio

like making things out of textiles. I also love to draw and collage. I knit, sew, embroider and crochet, but I need to practise more!

I take photographs every single day. I want a visual record of the things I make as I give most of them away or sell them in my etsy shop. I also like to keep a visual diary of my garden and the way it changes.

I'm a prolific blogger http://www.rosehip71.blogspot.com/

My etsy shop is here
