WEEK 3: cYcles

plain and simple life is a series of cycles. four seasons,metamorphosis,the 24-hour day,the Rpm gage in my car,go-to-work-go-back-home,eat,sleep,get-up,go-to-work-go-back-home,eat,sleep,get-up…..and of course the monthly cycle is the icing on the cake.


FLOWER:red acrylic paint and glaze over a flower sticker, a dab of yellow blended with rust and applied with a circular motion. used the opposite end of a skinny paint brush to make swirl in the center

BUTTERFLY:scanned a refrigerator magnet, altered to a warm tone in PS, cut it out, brushed it with glaze and stamped it with black soot distressed ink

LEAF: torn from old patterned paper,layered burgundy mesh ribbon over it and brushed with glaze


INDEX TABS left over from a set of pendaflex files. dabbed mixture of glaze and rust&red acrylic paint over the tabs. paisley foam stamp by making memories, layered a clockface transparency over the tabs.


had this magazine ad in my “art clip file” FOREVER. layered a little piece of mulberry paper on the edge of the page,brushed glaze and a little leftover paint over it.
