Theme Thursday asked us to put on our stylish hats. My artwork wears Layers of Color Fleur Heart art stamp that’s been shrunk, cut down and embellished with a rhinestone.

Cherish is the word this week at Theme Thursday.
I created a 4 1/2″ X 6″ arch using a invitation I painted for my daughter’s wedding (the perfect pair/pear), a vintage photo, Layers of Color Heart stamp (available soon!), decorative scissors, chalk and dye inks and metal upholstery tacks. Cherish is a beautiful word!
Pink in the Springtime

This week’s theme at Theme Thursday is the color combination of pink and brown. I created a bird Skinny in celebration of springtime.
This is a shared mother and daughter blog, today’s art is created by Laura, the Mama.
My Skinny is based on cardboard and cardstock with embossed wallpaper. I’ve added bird and nest images cut-out from a Dover book, stamped with Layers of Color Architectural Block stamp, colored with markers, chalks, pencils, and embellished with an earring finding. Happy spring!
Theme Thursday – Inchies!

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
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.

Clothe Yourself

I thought about good characteristics as the finest clothing we can wear, for the Torso/Mannequin theme for Theme Thursday this week.
No matter what is fashionable, or what shape our body is in, it’s not our outward appearance that truly says who we are, it’s our character that displays it for all to see.
My 5″ mannequin is made from a gutter strainer, ribbon spool, paper, ribbons, feather, velvet leaf, fabric flower, and my grandmother’s vintage earring. The verse around the base reads:
Therefore, as God’s, chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothes yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience
Colossians 3:12
My creation was inspired by a wonderful gift given to me by my very creative friend, Heather. She made a bird pincushion from an old sweater and placed it on a fabulous pedestal. Please take a look at her beautiful artwork in the photo below and visit her blog, listed in my “Favorite Blogs”. Artistic friends are a special gift. Thank You, Heather!
Paris in the Spring!

This week’s Theme Thursday – Paris! I was inspired with several ideas, so I chose to do two. Ooh la la!
A paper Parisian fan using copies of old tinted photos, pencil, inks, gel and silver leaf pens, Layers of Color Fleur Heart stamp, a piece of costume jewelry, and lots of doodles (no, not poodles, doodles ~ little hand drawings). It’s approximately 14″ tall.
Be sure to see my second creation in the next blog below!
I couldn’t resist using this old photograph in my second creation for the Paris challenge on Theme Thursday.
Isn’t she such a saucy dish? She looks like, “Too much is never enough!”…if only I knew how to say that in French! She’s so materialistic I thought she should be fashioned on a fancy plate with silk, beads, silver leaf and Layers of Color Fleur Heart stamp.
