challenge- no red or pink??!!


No red or pink?? That was our art forum's Feb challenge! To create a Valentine Day piece- Theme "Love is in the air" w/ distressing, glitter and lace...and no red or pink.

How do you make Valentine day art w/out pink or red- go vintage- sepia, black, and white!!

I got some paper clay for Christmas from my son...thanks Kev! And used the whole batch to create a bunch of these doll heads. They are sitting, piled on a plate in my *winter art studio...my daughters said they are cute but the pile of the heads on a plate is kind of freaky.

*winter art studio= the corner of my bedroom...too cold in my "art porch"

Anywho, my project is a shadowbox (vintage hankie box), homemade doll (head, cheese cloth, and lace), homemade beeswaxed hearts, feathers, and of course vintage papers..and more cheesecloth and lace!

If you like scrapbooking, stamping, altered art you should join our challenge on the CPA Blog. Check out the rest of the design teams art there too! And check out our art forum!! More fun challenges, swaps, giveaways, etc!

Happy snow day everyone!! Go create something today!!
