Since today is the Grand Opening of our new Layers of Color Challenge Blog, several of my family members have joined in the fun of participating! What a special, supportive and creative family I belong to…and the best part, they make me laugh!
| First, we have artwork from Linda and Dave, my wonderful parents-in-law. Their inspiration is from life’s “senior moments!” For their first attempt at altered art, they colored a vintage photograph with acrylics and watercolors, stamped the fish and “bubbles” with Layers of Color stamps, added quilling (Linda’s current favorite art form) and colorful handmade paper. Bravo! It’s delightfully altered, and funny, too! |

My nine-year-old son, nicknamed Eagle, loves jokes and made his artwork on watercolor paper with acrylics, Layers of Color stamps, and cut out Dover rabbits. Both the artist and his art bring joy and laughter to people’s lives! |
| My eleven-year-old daughter, nicknamed Dove, enjoyed making her first altered art. She altered a vintage photograph using acrylics, pencil, Layers of Color stamps , decorative scissors, and a photocopy from a Dover book. (No, I’m sorry Honey, you can’t keep it. Take it back to where you found it.) But, the artist and the wonderful artwork are “keepers!” |

I created a birthday card for my special sister-in-law. I also altered a vintage photograph using chalk powders and ink, pencil, Layers of Color stamps, decorative scissors, trim and metal tacks. It reads, “Distract the eye, and they won’t notice the grey.” Although she, may not follow the card’s advice, I’m sure my sister-in-law will laugh out loud! |
This has been such a hoot, creating silly art with my family! I encourage you to gather your friends and family around the table, spread out some copies of old photos and art supplies, and make some humorous art together!
