Girls should have pretty tools!!

Wow!!  Time for a new project for the OOAK design team.  This one was so much fun! I used a lot of the same products as last months project, as I am trying to do as much with these products as I can. Working on using them as many ways as I can even if its wrong!   This "tool" is a paint brush roll up case.  But in the idea of using things differently, why not use it for pencils, markers, knitting needles, or crochet hooks!!

A new item for me to use is the NEOPAQUE  flowable extender  AND I LOVE IT!! 

The process for this was really easy I used the dyna flow fabric paint and the fantastix pens to paint

 the outside of the case in splotches allowing each to dry. I added strips  of cardboard in each of the slots for the paint brushes to keep the paints from bleeding through to the other side.  The inside was painted each slot a different color. Now for the NEOPAQUE  flowable extender I used it to paint the circles, which allowed me to paint another color over and not change the colors!! I used a bit of black dyna flow to dry brush the edges of colors to help the colors look blended. Several stamps, stencils,and doodling in black tied it all together!! I did each slot differently  because.... that's how I "roll" LOL!!!

 Hello to you all!! Yes I am using my blog!!  I have been chosen to be part of a design team . OOAK Artisan Showcase  This is brand new for me but I am loving it so far!!  Playing with new stuff is always good! So for this months post I was sent Dye-na-flow paints, fantastix brush tips, and Pentel Gel Roller for Fabric.

SPLASHY SHOES

Hey EVERYONE!!! I want to show you all  my new shoes!! Just like when I was kid and showed off anything I got new!! Only now I am older and designed  my own shoes.

These started as a plain white pair of tennies,  from Walmart!!  This project was a blast to make,using the fantastix as markers made  coloring the  random sections very easy and fast.I did each section and allowed them to dry since I wanted these to not bleed into each other! Learned that from the Pair I made  for my Granddaughter Kennedy. Hardest part  was  waiting for them to dry!!   . I then just doodled all over them. Doodling goes way back for me, Back in nhigh school I used to doodle with my uncle David.  He taught me many things!! It took me a long time to believe my doodling could be art!  Now I doodle on everything and anywhere .These shoes even went to the coffee shop where a few of us meet to Drink and Draw! It was kind of like I was a  rebel having shoes on the table and they were a big hit!

I play in a lot of things, experiment and just have fun!! and strive to do different!    Yes I will wear these shoes,  right along with my granddaughter !!

                      

 Life is to short to stay in the lines!  so as Gary says ... I draw my own lines!!
