Behind On Everything

I know I said I was going to try to blog several times a week, but since I haven't been doing many art projects there hasn't been anything to blog about. But today there is!

Here is my latest bit of glass art:

Patron Chrome and Gold Candle Holders

I painted the bottles with a different technique and am very pleased with how different they turned out. Both are painted with the same two bottles of chrome and gold paint, but the first one looks almost like it has a coat of black flecks as well. Both of these will be going up on Etsy sometime today =)

Also my camera and printer should be arriving today, so there will be many more things to blog, like pictures of art and artistic pictures! I'm so exited to play with all the camera settings and have a photo printer! I'm sure I'll blog again soon with the first few pictures I take with my camera!

Motivation Monday!

I know I missed a Finished Friday and Sneak Peek Sunday, but between school and work my life is a little hectic right now, and art hasn't been in the forefront of my mind. But I'm back with a day off from school and work so today is an art kinda day!

So here's what is motivating me today: Everything!

From my pets being adorable and cuddling up with each other:

To finding a whole mess of eggs inside the nest box:

To getting this look when feeding my chickens:

To the wonderful fog we had the other night:

So today, in response to the beauty I see everyday that is constantly motivating me, I will be buying a new camera. Then I can capture the beauty I see and share it.

I hope to have many more pictures of my world to show you in the future!

What's Up Wednesday

Well today I don't have any messy projects going for a Wacky Wednesday, so I thought I'd just tell you what I've been up to lately. It's a What's Up Wednesday!

I made almost a dozen egg ornaments yesterday, so there are new eggs in my shop! Here is a picture of my favorite one:

Fading Cheshire Cat from Alice's Adventures In Wonderland Egg Ornament

I've also been playing around with spray paint ideas since we've had a few warm days in a row here. Maybe I'll bring out the spray paints tomorrow if its warm in the morning. I also need to hunt around some specialty paint shops in town for a few specific colors I need =) I have several ideas for stencils and reverse stencils for spray painting that I need to have made before I can take on any big spray paint projects.

And coming soon to my Etsy shop: A Photography section! I'll be ordering my new camera and photo printer this weekend and I'm so excited to have be able to take pictures again! And this will be my first photo printer so I'm sure it'll be an adventure figuring out how to use!

In other news, I'm in the process of figuring out what I need to make.... Wine Bottle Tiki Torches! I'm excited to get everything here so I can make a few test tiki torches for myself and my family!

I have so many projects going right now, I really need to slow down and do one at a time, but that's just not the way my artistic creativity works! I hope all your artistic projects are going fantastic as well!
