How to use found materials for Inspiration!!!

 

 

Okay, so this piece is still in progress.

 

However, I used rocks ( found materials for inspiration) and painted them white, to give texture to this great piece that will be on display during my exhibition at Eastern Regional High School this coming December.


I am so excited to share this with you all. Never thought that one could get this kind of an effect from using rocks & stones...



Speaking of stones ..wait till you see the next creations I am doing with medium size stones.

  Pumpkin Carving

Spending time with the family….

Get a pumpkin clean pumpkin out thoroughly outside and inside. Cut off top of stem. Gut out pumpkin throw away insides or make delicious food treats like pumpkin seed, pumpkin soup , etc.

 Draw your design onto the pumpkin, then have fun carving it out. Once carved, place outdoors to preserve it and insert candle or flashlight. And voila you have a lantern!!!

Monday's Motivation: What are you doing to succeed??

 Monday's Motivation: What are you doing to succeed??

"If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success".By : John D. Rockefeller

 

 

This quote reminds me of why I am an artist and how I appreciate thinking outside of the box. What is socially accepted isn't always the key to our individual successes.




  What are you doing to gain sucess in your life? Any advice you like to share? How do you measure success and what are some ways to gain success? We love to hear your comments....

The gift of a Smile..the greatest gift of all!!

On Saturday Morning December 15th,
 We had our 4th "Craft for the Children's Day" distribution for the children of Cooper Hospital.

We gathered toys,coloring books,crayons, and fun packs, and distributed them to the children in the hospital ranging from toddler to teens. We had a warm welcome from staff and visitors as we walked the halls with our festive holiday antlers.

All the goody bags with google eyes

And in the end we were able to  give the most greatest gift of all to the children, a smile...Each child was surprised to see us, and very thankful for thier lovely goodie craft bag, which by the way transformed into a reindeer, and we were able to give them the greatest gift of all a smile. This was indeed a rewarding and enriching experience.

Thanks to everyone for all their support
We look forward to returning next year, want to get involved in our next "Craft for the Children's Day, more details to come early spring 2013!!

Monday's Motivation :"Money Can't Buy Happiness....."

What an interesting way to start off the week:
I think it's important while you are earning a living that you always remember the words below




"Money can't buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable".
By :Clare Boothe Luce



Let's admit we all have to earn a living in these days, but that doesn't mean that we have to sacrifice our true happiness. Remember its not about the materials in life that brings us happiness, just comfortability.

Take a second and reflect on ,what brings you happiness in your life?
