More space art painted with spray paint. There are many different kinds of spray painting, I just happen to like painting planets. Perhaps you can be inspired to try for yourself. Try googling spray paint space art.

Spray Paint space paintings

Early this spring, I was looking around you-tube for some painting tutorials, and ran across a man painting a landscape completly with spray paint. I was fascinated, so I researched some more. I came across some of the space art paintings, painted with only spray paint! I had to try it. Here is some of my works. I will admit, I have thrown away more than I kept, but its a technique like anything else, the more you do it the better it gets. And the best part? It only takes a couple of minutes to complete a painting!

I found a picture that looked similar to this, here is my interpretation. The sky and moon are done with
spray paint. The tree was added with acrylics later

Alchemy tag book

It's time for me to think "Halloween" so I dug out my stash to see what I could come up with.
I did a class earlier this year in where we made a tag book with a large tag as the cover. I used this idea to make this little Alchemy tag book. Alchemy is the science of magic and there's no better theme to use for Halloween than magic!

another peek inside at different pocket pages

A peek inside the book, there are 4 pockets that hold the tags

This is the reverse of the tags that are in the "alchemy book"

Hogwarts

I am a big Harry Potter fan, I painted this picture in 2007 of Hogwarts castle. Yesterday I went to the opening
of Harry Potter and the Half blood prince which was excellent, although the books are much better. This past May, in Chicago, I got a chance to visit, the Harry Potter exhibit located at the musem of science, which included most of the sets and props used in the films. It was a great time.

My son, Jake. Love you and I am so PROUD

A peek inside Jakes' book

Military Altered Book

I am a military mom, my son, Jake, is a Army national guardsman who deployed to Iraq in 2007 I made him this book to remember is deployment and service

I added a different element, drawers! And filled them with little trinkets.

Angels Altered Book

This book was the first one I kept for myself about angles among us. I guess I felt the need of a guardian angle.The original book was all about angles with beautiful pictures, so I couldn't bring myself to completly redo it, much of the orginal book remains.

Queen of the Fairies

Introduction to fairies spread

The Green man spread

Here is a peek inside of my fantasy story book. As you can see, it reads like a real book.

Altered books

This is some of my older works that I just wanted to add to my blog. I fell in love with altered books about
4 years ago, and have done many. This one is my latest, it was a labor of love and most of the artwork was painted by myself. For those who don't know what a altered book is, it is just a old book with a new life breathed into it. The subject/content can be whatever the artist chooses. In this particular book, I wanted to do a fantsay book, a story book with faires, mermaids, and the like. It is very textural and something my grandchildren will perhaps want to read someday.

Yes, another ideaology piece, with a slightly different twist. A cuckoo clock was the inspiration here.

Time itself was the inspiration here. Full of brass gears and actual watch parts in this funky necklace

I love Tim Holtz, and I have used his ideaology pieces to make a lovely nature steampunk style necklace. Fresh water pearls serve as the eggs in a hand made wire birds nest

You might recognize this piece from my header photo. Very vintage and victorian
