Coloring On Glass...Shared Sunset Wall Art

Coloring On Glass
Shared Sunset Wall Art
Linda Tagg Mixed Media/2015

Prismacolor Pencils
Golden's Acrylic Ground for Pastels
Picture Frame with Glass
Foam paint brush
Sunset Image (I used an old calendar page)

Here are the how to steps...

To create this piece of wall art, print out Molly Harrison's Grandma and Granddaughter digital image.
Carefully remove glass from the picture frame.  Use the foam brush to apply two coats of Golden's Acrylic Ground for Pastels onto the glass.  Apply one coat in a horizontal direction and the second coat in a vertical direction (drying thoroughly between each application).  The Acrylic Ground for Pastels provides the additional 'tooth' needed for coloring on glass.  Tape the digital image face down onto the uncoated side of the glass.  Turn the glass over, you should be able to see the image through the Acrylic Ground.  Using the image as a guide, apply color and shading with your Prismacolor pencils.  After coloring, remove tape and image from the back and replace with a sunset image.  Replace the frame...enjoy your new wall art!

Sunbathing Frog Pool Party Invitation


Linda Tagg Mixed Media 2015
Pool Party Invitation

Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor Pencils
Odorless Mineral Spirits
Textured Cardstock
Sizzix Script Alphabet Dies
Chalk Pastels

I colored this cute sunbathing frog digital image (Arthouse Designs PH 521) with Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor pencils and blended the colors with Odorless Mineral Spirits.  To create the sky and water, I used a soft cloth to apply several shades of blue chalk pastels.  The coordinating letters were created by blending blue chalk pastels onto a piece of white textured cardstock before die cutting the letters.

What is a Leprechaun Box? 

On the Eve of St. Patrick's Day, 
Leprechauns move their gold to a new hiding place. 
If they can find a little box they will use it to hide their gold and afterwards, leave the box behind.
The Leprechauns will also leave a little thank you gift of 
chocolate coins or small toys in the box.  
This is a fun tradition to start with the little ones in your life.  
Make sure to place your Leprechaun Box on a low table so it is easily reached by the Wee Folk.

Using a few buttons and vintage sewing items, I created this shoeful of memories featuring one of the the shoes in which my youngest daughter took her first steps.  The big bell was placed on the shoe when she was 9 months old; she loved the jingling sounds created with each and every step.
