I’ve had many things going on this year and whew… got caught up in my Artistic Chaos. Visit my blog to see what me and lots of folks have been up to. Also read my Articles at Divapreneur Magazine and Diviacity.
I bet you need an artisitc colorful break at some point in everyday!!! I got one for you. Go hang out at my website http://www.diviacity.com for a little while. I have so much stuff going on over there I’m loopy LOL. I love sharing artwork.
Okay, that’s the name of this piece but it could also describe my experience at ZNE 2009!
Victorian Tea Party in a Cigar Box
Well if you’re into Vintage, Victorian, Antique or Mixed Media, this was definitely the place to be. I’ve discovered as an Artist trying to stay out of the corporate maze that Networking is a true necessity and a great experience. At ZNE we met so many unique Artists and visitors. We were blessed with having the first table at the door (so they saw my goofy smile on the way in and on the way way out! LOL) . I’ve always been amazed by people that could turn sticks and stones into Beauty and Art. And they were there. And even better there were many teaching others how to do the same! Kids passed by with huge proud smiles on their faces after having done a Make and Take. Adults whispered of their excitement after finding a doll or toy or game they hadn’t seen since childhood. Memories rushed in! We even had the pleasure of hearing Jon Troast sing as he performed Live. All in All, it was a great positive energy and a lot of playful spirit!
If you love Mixed Media Art come join the fun at the

Do you love product? LOL… I mean product!! Gesso, wax, Glimmer Mist, Inks, you name it?
Me too. These pieces are fun and not an exact science so no pressure allowed! They depict generations of family, growth and love. A great way to say I love you to family members as well.
Canvas prepped with white Gesso, layered with collage pictures, sprayed with Pineapple and Suede Glimmermist, dried, browned with Adirondack Butterscotch Color Wash, dried, wiped with watered down white Gesso and finally waxed over some of the photos! Now thats using product! LOL
Making hair sticks is fun and you can make any design you want without the cost of buying them at stores. Barettes are really a lot of fun especially during the spring and summer when our wardrobe is light and fun!
Easy Sexy and Sassy Hair Wear!
These Barettes were made using blank Stencil forms and other products most scrappers and crafters have sitting right in their work areas! These also make great gifts for kids and adults alike and you can make them to match any outfit.
I think I’ll take my Inner Child on as many trips as I can this year. And if I cant take it on the Road…well hell!!!! I’ll just have to go there in my head! LOL

In Beverlys words “I’m a self taught artist who found herself retired on disability before I was ready to retire. I’ve always been a crafter of sorts, creating wedding flowers, and sketching here and there, but nothing like canvas work. Finding that I could even paint was a surprise to me and I’m so thankful that God has opened a new door for me to express myself!
And we’re thankful too Beverly. This beautiful dramatic page is inspiring and positive!
