New bookmark set to help you get your semiquincentennial celebration on! Both feature vintage eagle illustration images and original art including gel plate prints. The “250” was originally stamped from antique classroom rubber stamps. The “We the People” celebrates the US Constitution (1787) with a stenciled image and a copy of the actual Constitution in the background. Click here to see in my Etsy shop!
Catherine Rains’s “Collage Joy” online series has been great fun this spring! I’m glad to have access to the class material even after this final week is over – lots of fun tips and tricks. I’ve veered off course several times, in regard to time (traveling and work!) as well as following instructions (I do a lot of my own thing). But it’s been a blast, and Cat and her fellow leaders have been generous and wonderful. Above is a 6X6 collage featuring cools and neutrals, and an 8X8 collage (“Expectation”) featuring warms and neutrals, both matted to 12X12.
Fun “Glue and Go” collage session today with @catrains.artist as part of her online Collage Joy series this spring; this fast-paced exercise is great for those of us who, ahem, might “overthink” a bit….;0)
Here’s a Poetry Friday project for Poetry Month that involves artsyletters® in equal measure! I’m making a mini series of videos on YouTube for April featuring a different word each week (and someone else’s poem celebrating it), along with some original art I make. Don’t worry, the video skills can only improve, along with the editing to trim more minutes in the next editions. ;0) Look for a regular series from artsyletters® soon. https://www.robynhoodblack.com/blog/posts/47651 Today’s post & video feature an “Ode to AND” by Patricia J. Franz. Here’s the link to jump straight to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7aG79O6KS4
Wishing you plenty of both this April – Poetry AND Art!!
Happy First Day of Spring! This week, my post for Poetry Friday on my author blog seems just as appropriate, if not more so, here – so, here’s the link! Thanks for reading.
