This blog is a collaboration between two art journalists. We have a list of weekly topics that we use to artfully create a page that describes what it means to us. Carla Dixon and Shelly Sazama are the two artists in this collaboration. We use mixed media art, including collage, paints, gelli printing, sewing, etc. Anything goes.

Sketching
The topic for this week is sketching. I found the vase on the left at Value Village. It is so cute. I had the sunflowers and decided they would look good stuffed inside. The other vases were used as decoration on my kitchen table. I painted them with watercolor, it was not my best work. The paper which I had gessoed and distressed didn't take the watercolor very well.

HEARTS
This week it's all about hearts. When doing this page I found a website with love letters written by famous people. I couldn't resist using them on my page, especially as you can tell, hearts make me think of love and love letters.

Stars, Stencils and Stitching
This page was created with the use of stencils, stitches and stars. I first added paint to the page. Next used a few stencils with Dylusions sprays. For stars I used both pictures of celebrities and stamped stars. Stitching is done at the bottom to join the fabric pieces together.

Crazy for Circles
This weeks topic is Crazy for Circles. I used stencils for the background, (circles of course), then added collage items that were a circular shape to the page. I copied a definition of what a circle is and also added a list.

Cheese Cloth
The topic for this week is cheese cloth.
I didn't have any cheese cloth so used gauze to make the flower on this page. My first layer on the background was several different decorative paper scraps glued on to the page. Next I added stenciling, some more embellishments and some doodling.
