Shallow & Untrustworthy {ICAD 2017 #17}

Pushing through some more ICADs :)

Went a little DOOM n GLOOM on this with some dark n grungy colors & stamping. Did I say stamping? HECK YES I DID! Because I designed a brand new Art Marks / Art Journaling plate for Viva Las VegaStamps! Check the supply list for details :)

Fabulous right?! Catch up on the how to in the following video, then view some closeups & the supply list:

Previous Existence - A Tag Duo for Artists LIVE! What the WHAT?!

I am BEYOND super excited to share with you today that I have joined the Artists Live group for a short period of time! Through the end of the year I'll be doing one LIVE show a month via the Artists Live Ustream channel. The group goes live every Monday @ 11am PST. 

You can see me this coming up Monday (9.19) where I'll be doing this Tag Duo:

This tag duo is a delicious bit of mixed media goodness, paper layering, chipboard altering, stencil using, stitching goodness. I've incorporated a bit of black out (or in this case white out) poetry that I picked up from Ivy & Petra's Poetic Plaster & Wax class.

My poem reads:

Individual tree

or man fleeting

poetic recollection

(of) a previous existence

How good is that?! There is no video at this time for the tag duo, but we record the live shows if you can't make it. But.. I HOPE you can and hope you'll be there to see the magic happen in real time :)

Feel free to accept my invite via this facebook event.

So Join me on Monday for a live taping of these beauties!
