SM*Art Zine #3

Wow, I haven't posted in a while. I didn't think that it was that long. With that said. I hope everyone had a very wonderful holiday season. Those of us who were slammed with the blizzard of the century in east, I just know the spring will be a beautiful treat.
Now on to business. I have been working hard on getting my new zine out. Its a take on most of my travels through the USA over the last year. No big details but its a spyglass view of some of the wonderful places and people I had the pleasure of seeing and meeting. The biggest of treat of all is my interview with the renowned ARTCHIX Helga Strauss, oh my she is such a sweet soul and a patient one too. She has been anxious to see the finished work. (I promise Helga its just about there). She is truly a creative muse in the altered and mixed media art world. Her site is a collection of wonderful goodies and she has even shared a treat with us in the interview. Thanks Helga. So I really hope you will pick up a copy. Its no Somerset but its fun, interactive and informative. It will be available two ways. Full color or black and white. Details are coming real soon.
Big Hugs and many New Year Blessings,
Kimberly

I really loved the Drunken Scotch Technique. Totally inspiring.

Tennessee or Bust!

Well, I am about to embark on my next road trip to Tennessee. I am traveling with my Sofa King Cool Girls for a week of Crafting, Exploring and just plan acting a fool. I will state this now, what happens in TN stays in TN. (hee hee hee) Well, we will share some of the visit. I am so excited. We each will be teaching an art technique and then off to find some flea markets, outlets and antique malls. Wow, the week will probably fly by. I am blessed to have such a cool set of artsy friends. I will be sharing more on my return.

August Contest

New Technique: "Gut Art"

Old Technique: "My Style"


***PLEASE REMEMBER TO LEAVE A COMMENT SO I CAN PICK A WINNER.

Hey Guys:
For those of you who know me well, you know I am a workshop junkie. I am always looking for a workshop to attend. Being roadtrip or online and with everyone I attend I pick up a new technique. So I thought for this contest I would let you judge which art piece you like better. One is my old technique and the other is a new technique called Gut Art by Mystele. Mystele shows you how to let go and not try to control your art. Check out her website. "Little Glimpses Studio" really cool stuff.
One winner will be selected from the voting list. Please vote and leave a comment in the comment section. This way I will know what you like about your choice. The winner will receive a goody bag of vintage/vintage style ephemera.
With all that said here are your choices. Cast your vote in the voting section.
Thanks a bundle,
Kimberly

Alter It Monthly - July

Alter It Monthly theme - Home Sweet Home
My home sweet home dwells within my spirit house.

Keep those creative juices flowing...

Well, I have discovered a way to keep my mind and creativity active. Joining these cool blog sites that feature a monthly theme. First one I joined was Mixed Media Monday and the next Alter It Monthly. What a cool concept. No mailing and no pressure. Simply create, download and share. How easy is that? I remember so well what Leighanna Light once told me. "Do something everyday, even if its just painting gesso on a canvas. It keeps your creative mind flowing". That is so true. So, maybe this is the new thing in the A/MM world? Love It!

Greetings from Geralyn

Heading to the shore this summer? Check out Greetings from Geralyn located in the Arcade Pavillion on Cookman Avenue. Wow, finally it looks like we will have a cool spot to create and shop in. So well needed. Geralyn is a doll and her shop along with others inside are real gems. She carries an array of greeting cards, craft supplies and artwork. Please stop in and check out her class schedule. I will be teaching a greeting card class from 3-5 pm on August 27th. Looking so forward to it. Best of Luck Geralyn!

"The Paint Place"

Wow, I finally did it. I set up a show and sale at The Paint Place in Asbury Park, NJ. The show features my collage art pieces. I can't tell you how many people have asked me when I would show my work. Well, I dabbled a bit at the local gallery in Red Bank, NJ and it boosted my confidence. It is really a test to put yourself and creativity out there. I've been out there before, but since 9/11 things have been pretty slow. But my faith is strong and God told me its time move it along. I can't get anymore push than that. (smile)
The Paint Place is a lovely boutique that carries an ecclectic collection of beautiful handmade italian mosaics (created by the proprietor), jewelry and local artisans work. It is located at 605 Cookman Avenue, Asbury Park, NJ. My show runs from July 2 - 19th. You can meet me the artist on July 11th between 3-6 pm. Hope to see you there.

Hot Fun in the Summertime

Just got back from giving my sinuses a vacation. How does that work? I went to Scottsdale AZ for a week. I just have to say 2 things, beautiful city and I could breathe. I was taken back at how lovely that area of Arizona was. We drove from Las Vegas to Scottsdale and it was fabulous. We stayed at the beautiful Pheonician Hotel and Resort. I have never been before but one thing is guaranteed, I will be back. I had fun visiting the art museums, shops and the very very cool stamp stores and their owners. The city people were wonderful and friendly. I want to thank both proprietors of the Frenzy Stamper and the Creative Quest for keeping my creative juices flowing while on vacation. If you go to Scottsdale stop in their shops you won't come out empty handed. Guaranteed. I can attest to that. (hee hee hee) For me, this was one of my favorite vacations. "Hot Fun In The Summertime"!

What's New on My Etsy

I know I do a variety of different art pieces and hopefully I do them well. Paper arts still seem to be my favorite draw. With hundreds of different techniques and thousands of different products (I am sure I have one of each in my studio) I am able to experiment and create pieces that hopefully bring pleasure and delight to the eye. Its amazing how much I have grown from the first time I sat at my kitchen table and created my first ATC over 3 years ago. I have since defined my own style, migrated up to traveling to different workshops around the country and even landed a teaching gig with some fabulous women in CT. This is from a chick who used to be scared to fly. I still am a little but I will drive somewhere. (chuckle) I have met some fabulous people and engaged in the most interesting adventures and conversations. I neatly pack all of this in my art memories, so that years from now I can reflect back and say I really came to life with that one ATC.
