Trick Your Pumpkin!



Last May Amanda Kingloff (http://amandakingloff.com/) visited the studio for a book signing. A few weeks back she posted an Instagram pic of her Michael's "Trick Your Pumpkin" submission (http://www.michaels.com/trick-your-pumpkin-sweepstakes/trick-your-pumpkin.html) so I decided Scribble should also submit (I love Amanda Kingloff and if she's doing something I want to too!). I went with a "Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater" theme. Take a look at the process and final product!!

The Art of Giving!





This past Sunday we participated in Next Generation's BBB on Isle of Hope. Scribble helped kids create artwork that would later be hung in the children's wing of the  hospital. I love when I get the chance to combine art with a great cause. I had to come up with something that would work for all age and experience levels, plus the event was outdoors so I had that to factor in as well. Here's what I came up with!

The background is made up of layered tissue paper!



The center of each flower is stamped, using sticker back foam mounted on cardboard!



I kept the petal palette limited to bright, happy colors. Scrap fabric leaves were added as a final touch!

A Little Color!



This week we did mixed media owls! I LOVED this project and thought each and every owl looked adorable. After drawing our owls we used oil pastels in the eyes, beak, and stomach. We used 2 to 3 paints for the body of the owl and background. Lastly we added torn paper wings. I really enjoyed the "action" quality mixing the paint on the paper added to the art work and plan to use this technique again!
