Once again I have been bitten with the bug of wanting to try a new art medium. This time it is painting on fabric. I inherited a lot of baby girl clothes that I passed on to my expectant neice but before I did I came across two really adorable plain denim jumpers. It was like there were new canvases crying out..."Paint me! Paint me!" Well, what could I do but paint.
My kids use to tell their many friends trouping in and out of our house, "Don't stand still or my mother might paint you!" I guess they had good reason too as there is no surface or object I can pass by without looking at it and mentally adding the touch of my paintbrush. So...I am off to create a piece of wearable art and will post it shortly I hope!
Wish me luck!

About Me
- trish
- I am a self taught, self-representing artist that tries to spend as much time as possible creating my art and marketing it. Unfortunately a health issue limits my time but I do use every good moment available to work on my love of art. I love to create in various styles and mediums but I am best known for my "Life in Northern Canada" folk art series. I am especially fond of creating functional pieces of art from recyclables. To take a discarded piece of furniture and create a painting on it transforming it into a functional piece of art is my favorite thing to do. It also makes me feel good to recycle something that was destined for the trash. One less piece of waste in the landfill. I find the older I get the more concerned I become with the environment and helping to reduce the waste. I am always happy to take commissions as long as a fair bit of time is allowed. You can always contact me at simplytreasured99@hotmail.com. Let me create a unique, original, one of a kind piece of functional art for you!

You have been tagged. Follow the link: http://invitetheparty.blogspot.com
It will give you instructions on what to do. It's a little silly but fun.
I just finished doing a tag....:) I don't know how it works but I don't have enough people yet on my blogs to tag anyone else....???
This can't have effect in actual fact, that's exactly what I think.
