Still working like a crazy person getting ready for the Allied Arts Holiday Festival of the Arts. We will be setting up the booth Nov 13 & 14, so the last minute prep is on!

Here's a bit of what I worked on this week, all slated for the Festival:

Altered Book spread for Michele

Art Project 2012 - Oct 29 - Nov 4

Working this week on a variety of canvases and ornaments for the Holiday Festival of Arts. 

These are ACEO sized (2.5 x 3.5) stretched canvas and take several layers and a few days to finish due to drying time. I did do the layers on several at a time to be a bit more efficient. :)

Earlier in the week I took took a "just for the fun of it" break and created some art to trade during a "Halloween Art-a-thon" over at atcsforall.com. I haven't had time to create art to trade lately, and it was a nice break. Made me feel good that all the bits of art I created during the a-thon were traded.
