Hello Peeps! I beg your forgiveness and thank you for still being here as it has been four months since my last blog post. (gulp) But my time has not been wasted as I have been BUSY behind the scenes re-focusing my art direction and honing my skills as a mixed media artist, and I am now ready (and excited) to share just a few of the amazing pieces I have been creating.

| Me in my Studio playing with Pebeo Moon and Fantasy paints |
In January of this year I took a long look at my blog and realized that over the past few years, because of my design team work, my blog had morphed into more of an advertisement for product rather than the inspiring and creative space I want it to be.

| Mixed Media on 10" Stretched Canvas |
So I decided to change my direction and slowly began resigning from all my design team positions, where the focus is on product rather than creativity, and began focusing on my art and my creative process.

| Painting With Fibre - 2-D Needle Felted Faces |
But of course, design team duties gave me deadlines that I had to meet and made me create regular blog posts for all of you - and without those deadlines I procrastinate (don't we all?) but after today that is going to change!

| 18x24" Mixed Media & Collage on stretched canvas |
Those of you that have met me know that I love to teach and share my knowledge as much as I love to create and my tutorial blogs are some of my very favorite posts, so you can expect to see more regular posts, more of my art and more photo tutorials as well as (hopefully) a video or two - I am still struggling with all the technical STUFF - but I am so stinking CUTE on film that you need to see me...Grin.

Wow Lynne! You've been busy!!! I am loving all that you shared in this post. Those felt faces are amazing, and I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the Harry Potter Chests!!! Can't wait to see what else you create.
ReplyDeleteHelloooo Ellie... thank you for being the first one to leave me a comment and let me know that I have not been forgotten... Smile. I am loving my fibre faces and I am over-the-moon excited about the Harry Potter Chest. I taught my first class last night and we had a blast! And just so you know, I am getting some kits together with detailed instructions... Just Sayin' Smile
DeleteStunning work, Lynne! You have been busy, Jo x
ReplyDeleteHello JO!! Nice to see your comment. I miss you Sisterhood of Snarky Stamper Sisters like crazy and every single month I say "I am going to get a card in for THIS challenge" and every single month I miss the deadline .... Grin. But I am having a blast creating up a storm and getting better and better. But stay tuned, I might just get a card in yet!!
DeleteWelcome back and haven't you been busy? So much creativity, so unique and fabulous projects. So glad you've got back into creativity rather than product led posts. You sure look like you are having fun x.
ReplyDeleteHello DARLING! So great to see your comment, and THANK YOU! I miss the STAMPlorations girls very much, but this is so much more fun... Smile. Stay tuned for lots of photos headed this way!
DeleteHi Lynne. You go girl!! Love love love those fiber faces and would just love to be sitting at that table with you learning needle felting. Your art and space look amazing, as do you. Big hugz across the water. Looking forward to your next post. Hugz
ReplyDeleteHELLO GAIL (imagine me Smiling and Waving madly!) Thank you for the lovely comment, I would love for you to be sitting beside me tooooo. I am soooo looking forward to being back... (hugs)
DeleteLovely to see a post again, Lynne - your creativity, as always, knows no bounds. We're always going to be wondering 'what's next?'!
ReplyDeleteSuper pieces! Your art has really evolved in a wonderful direction since I last visited, Lynne - although it has always been very inspiring! I love the needle felted faces! So true what you said about process vs product - part of the reason I've never wanted to turn this hobby into a business or any form of commitment is because you're then at risk of losing the freedom to create to your heart's content and it's just not worth it! Glad to see you back on the scene!
