With Spring in full swing now... what better theme!

I decided

Fun and relaxing...

I thought it would be delightful to use the zentangle technique,

to create a background, for my Rolodex cards.

A way to provide fun feeling to Spring!!

What do you think...?

Are these fun or what?!

Do you zentangle too?

Happy Saturday.

A Tribute To Mail-Art

Mail-Art is about: sending artful things.
It is the desire to make sending things something special.
If you can send it you can make it.

Collage Artist - Ray Johnson (1927-1995)

Known primarily as a collagist, and was a seminal

figure in the history of early Pop-Art.

He is considered the

"Founding Father of Mail-Art".

Ray would mail small collages to people, and encourage them

to add or subtract to the work and them mail it on.

If you are interested in learning more about

Ray Johnson

There is documentary on DVD

It always make you feel special, doesn't it!!

Let us continue sharing our talents...

connecting with other creative people...

and

making others feel special too!

I can not think there any other better way...

than through art?

Happy Thursday!

And They Flew Bye, Bye...

Junk Main Inspiration.

Each little birdie left one by one, in hope of spreading "sparks" of inspiration to others.

"Artful Clips"

In an earlier post I wrote about, starting off the year, spreading"sparks of inspiration"!

You can read all about it Here

I think it is safe to say... they have all made there destination safely.

And now, I can share with you these adorable clips.

I plan on creating more down the road... and plan on having more to share with you!

I just think these are great to use in your art journal.

My thoughts are... using different images along the way. So you will want to check back.

Altered Rolodex Cards- I couldn't help myself I was on a rolo, get it!!

I had a few biries left over, and used them towards The Altered Rolodex Project.
