Welcome, this is a shared mother and daughter blog, todays creation is created by Jessica,
daughter of Layers of Color.
Thank you Da Vinci for this beautiful, charming lady. How divine to own an Ermine. I used chalk to shade the edges and used the Layers of Color Fleur Heart to frame the bottom and to added it the heart in the left hand corner.
Have a blessed Friday! Today is when Christ died on the cross for ours sins. But no worries “…in three days He will rise”
This week’s Theme Thursday is “miniature art”!
This is a shared mother and daughter blog, today’s art is created by Laura, the Mama.
Inchies are 1"x1" artwork. These are extreme for me as I've spent years as a professional muralist and theater back drop artist! It may be tiny art, but it can still have a big impact! They make great additions to other artwork. Be sure to enlarge to see the details.

Easter is coming and as we know, it’s not all about the bunny and his eggs, but about our Lord and Savior, who rose from His tomb on the third day. A family tradition of ours is have an egg exchange. Together we spend the day sitting around the table and dying and decorating eggs. When we’ve finished, we hand our personalized egg to our secret someone (who’s name we pulled from a hat), we state: “He has risen!”, and the receiver responds with, “He has risen indeed!”
This paper-mache egg was honestly made with myself in mind. It is all my favorite colors and textures, wrapped in copper paint, ribbons, flowers and feathers. I created a leaf nest for the egg to rest and decorated an old candlestick with paint, glitter and ribbons. The end result turned out to be an eggcellent Easter display (LOL - I had to say it!)
This would be a wonderful project to do with family or friends. If you decorate hard boiled eggs you can use the stands to display them each year, or you can decorate paper-mache eggs and can add to your collection every Easter.
Have a blessed Easter and remember: He has Risen! …. (now it’s your turn.)
Welcome to our shared mother & daughter blog. Today’s art is created by Jessica, daughter of Layers of Color.
My husband is a Navy man and I am his Navy wife. Because today’s Mixed Media Monday theme is Men, I thought I would create a little ode to my hubby with an artist square. I used some non-traditional shapes when designing my 4×4 but, it still remains the same dimensions as a traditional artist square. I used a portion of the Layers of Color Fleur Heart stamp to frame the edge of the square and added a few metal embellishments to add more depth.
I would like to thank all the men and women who fight for our country, and all the spouses who support them.
Thank you for taking the time to browse all our blog creations!
It’s my lucky day, a Leprechaun has chosen to be my focal point for Gothic Arches since the theme this week is All Things Celtic!
This blog is shared by mother and daughter, today’s art is created by Laura, the Mama.
I created the arch with canvas, painted it with acrylics and applied a pencil-colored copy of an old photograph of a stage actress. Her hands are not attached. I made the button with a Celtic design.
The secret to her luck…the fourth leaf of the shamrock that she wears at her hip.
