Umbrella Art

By Laura, May 21st, 2008 at 6:27 pm

Did you know?…Umbrellas have been found in historical artifacts and depictions thousands of years ago. Originally they were made as protection from the sun not the rain. The word umbrella is from the Latin word umbra, which in turn derives from the Ancient Greek ómvros. Its meaning is shade or shadow. An umbrella or parasol are also, sometimes colloquially called, gamp, brolly, or bumbershoot. The first umbrella shop of record, which opened in 1830, is still today at its original address in London. There, James Smith and Sons sold umbrellas that were works of art; many made of wood and whalebone and covered with alpaca or an oiled canvas, some even covered in feathers.

I added an umbrella to my artwork for Layers of Color Challenge. The vintage photo is of a female actress with a cane. I imagined her to be an umbrella shopkeeper, so I turned her cane into a colorful umbrella. Paraplule (para-plui) is French, for umbrella. Umbrella Shopkeeper
All stamps in this piece are Layers of Color Architectural Blocks stamp set. The background is paper rubbing over the stamps using colored pencils, then stamped over the rubbing with chalk inks and pierced through the paper. Details include stitching on the sheer ribbon and adding a decorative upholstery tack. 3 Dimensional Paper Umbrella and Awning
It was such fun to make that I also created a tutorial for this Unique Technique to show others how to make the paper umbrella and awning. Stamped Paper Umbrella
Jessica also met the challenge with this delightful rainy day dance! I love the bubble umbrellas and book page raindrops. This reminds me of Jessica’s childhood when she would dance in the warm California rain with her little friends…except they wouldn’t bother with the umbrellas… they wore their swimsuits!

Bugs, Jewels in my Garden

By Laura, April 23rd, 2008 at 2:34 pm

Some bugs are like jewels in my garden, butterflies with colorful wings, dragonflies’ iridescent bodies and beetles with shells like colored metal. I’m fascinated with the study of insects, and I collect them as an enthusiastic bugologist (“entomologist”, if you want to be formal). Anyway, I was in my studio creating bug and bird ATCs with Layers of Color stamps when Wednesday Stamper had a challenge to create artwork with bugs! Buzzing with excitement, I photographed those I’ve done so far. If you like them, you can see more in my galleries where I also have bug Inchies!

Come back soon to see the rest of the colorful spring ATCs that will be flying around my studio.
