100 Days of Handmade Foam Stamps

This year will be my second year participating in The 100 Day Project. A few years ago I did 100 Days of Pastels and really loved diving into a new art supply.

Check out my previous challenge 100 Pastel Paintings

It was challenging but you always come out the other end with newfound understanding, a body of art, and you do step out of your comfort zone every now and again.

100 Days of Handmade Foam Stamps

This Year for the 100 Day Project I am creating and finishing off my foam stamps.  

I have been creating a series of foam stamps that have largely been neglected and some half completed so I will be completing them to use in my art journals and other projects and then ordering them so that I know what stamps I have.

I look forward to sharing this creative adventure with you and would love to know if you will be taking part as well.

At the end of each week I will show you the stamps for the previous 7 days and a video of how I would use them in a mixed media project.  If you want to see them daily you can hop on over to my Instagram page HERE  I hope you join in, let me know what you will be doing

The Challenge kicks off tomorrow

One BadAss Art Journal Course and More!

 

The One BadAss Art Journal Course has officially started today and as one of the artists I am really excited to see you join us and share how diving into your creativity makes you feel absolutely fantastic!  

This is my fifth year of the course, and it is always a pleasure connecting with the other artists and students as we share how art and creativity inspires and motivates us. 

Here is a sneak peek for you of my session below - I use quite a bit of color, collage material, encouraging words and we bring it together around a simple image - you can substitute for an image of your choosing - bird, butterfly, flower - totally up to you.

I love creating using layers and this was a lovely.  We start out by creating a background using our favorite supplies.  There is a pdf download for you to use as well which includes encouraging words and images of the bird for you to make use of as well.

I hope you join us, it is always a lot of fun on Tiares courses and we always leave inspired and stretched and learn a lot of great techniques from each other - whether you are a teacher or a student.

You can learn more about the course HERE 

Come and join us and Release your inner BadAss!
