Art Display

 The Art Association has an annual display at the local library. Our city is fortunate to have this display place.

National Color Day

 Color, Color, Color!

Fall treats us to intense color!

Stencils

 Today I was having fun cutting stencils.

I use stencils when making prints:

                     clayprints

                     gel prints

A great way to add interest to the background.

But stencils are also great for decorating any mixed media piece.

They can be used with acrylics, inks, stamp pads & spray paint, and each will give you different results.

I cut my stencils from thin plastic index dividers that I got at the dollar store. Very easy to cut with craft knife & scissors, & durable enough to last for several uses.

 It had been way too long since I had been anywhere other than the grocery store, so I decided it was time for a road trip. So I took the opportunity to revisit the Blue Whale. I figured I'd avoid any crowds by visiting on a weekday, and I was right. And there he was smiling & happy; it made me happy just to see him again.

Hey, artist John Hammer also likes the Blue Whale.
