More Fun And Easy Collage Paper Techniques
More Fun And Easy Collage Paper Techniques
Sometimes you just need something fun and easy to do in the studio that cheers you up and feels productive. Making Pretty Papers is just the thing for a chilly November day.
WARM Collage papers for an uncertain future from Jane Davies on Vimeo.
Here are some links to the materials I am using, though there are more links on my Favorite Materials page.
Novacolor Paints - these are decent quality paints: good pigments in a good binder, but they are more extended (i.e. less pigment per unit of volume) than professional grade paints. You can only get them from the manufacturer; they are not available from retailers.
ArtQuest Perfect Pigments, made in Michigan, are relatively new to me. Gorgeous colors!
Golden Fluid Acrylics: many of you are familiar with these luscious paints. I use them for most of my smaller work, and the Heavy Body paints for larger works. I use some of the HB paints in this video too.
Golden High Flow Acrylics: these are low-viscosity (think: watery) paints suitable for dripping, dropping, splashing, flinging, hurling, spattering, and the like. They have the same pigment load as other Golden paints, so they are not simply Fluid Acrylics watered down.
Stay Warm, but have a chill weekend. We all need it after last week!

More Rug Painting Fun
More Rug Painting Fun
Well, Im going crazy. I painted two different rugs this weekend. In addition to the one I painted last week.
I bought this ugly but promising rug at a thrift store for $8 last week.
I gave it a nice lint rolling to clean it up, first.
I found a rug on ebay that I used as my inspiration for colors. I broke out the Frogtape, and went to work. I hadnt used Frogtape until last week, and wow. That stuff works great. You dont even have to do the paint over trick with it! I am a convert.
Anyway, I bought the extra thick 2" version, and made little triangles. This is how I cut them:
I would tape the end to the counter top, then cut like five diamonds, then tape on.
I found the center, then started taping from there. NOTE: I didnt do it perfectly, since it was the weekend, and this is a tester project for my own home. If it were for a client, all the little diamonds would be the same size, in a straight line, etc. I already have an eye twitch from so much work and stress lately, so I am not trying to add to that on my weekend time by driving myself crazy ;)
after it was all taped. There was only one point where I got confused, which was trying to match that funky triangular pattern on either side. My brain started hurting but i figured it out.
and painted:
I used regular house and craft paint that I already had. I think that eggshell works best, because its not shiny and it is fairly pliable when it dries. Either way, this is not like, a fancy long term rug solution (like the dye). I have done this before. Its like one of those rugs you buy from urban outfitters, thats printed? Maybe a little better with holding up, but you know what I mean! Its fun for a short term, trendy solution if you dont wanna spend $$$ on a rug.
heres where I was starting to get excited!
and here is where I have to leave you, because I have to go to work!
ill post the final outcome soon! have a great monday.

More Earth Day Fun
More Earth Day Fun
Here are some ideas from Jen on how to celebrate Earth Day with your kids.
Jen found this cute inflatable Globe to hang from the ceiling. She got everyone a new REUSABLE water bottle to drink from, and an EARTH bouncy ball. The centerpiece was a map she got in her junk mail and REUSED as a decoration. That is an idea I will have to try!
Then they made Earth Day cookies. So easy and cute!
Check out my other Earth Day post here for more fun ideas!

More Fun With Magnets
More Fun With Magnets
Both of my daughters (almost 5 yrs and almost 3 yrs) really enjoyed this magnetic activity and it was so simple to put together. Here is what you need: towel, jar or bottle filled with water, magnet, paper clips and a small bowl.
Demonstrate by holding the magnet flat against the glass (and pointing out that it needs to be held flat), visually find a paper clip at the bottom that you will try to "catch". Starting at the bottom, slide the magnet up the glass. The paper clip slides up too.
Once it reaches the top, very carefully, take it out using fingers and place it in the bowl. (My youngest gets so happy and excited about this part!)
Continue until all the paper clips are out.
And then start again!

My Fun Girls Weekend Recap!
My Fun Girls Weekend Recap!
Once we were ready, we went and ate Asian for dinner then took off to a local bar, "Bradshaws Social House" for drinks and to mingle. I sipped on the best drink. I LOVED IT! It was Skinny girl cucumber vodka, club soda water, and fresh cucumbers. That may sound weird to some, but it was so light and refreshing. If and when I drink this summer, that will be my go-to drink. I HATE drinks that are made with syrup that is loaded with sugar, so this is a great alternative without a ton of calories and sugar. My mantra is all about balance. I say go out and enjoy yourself, but keep it as healthy and you can. Those little victories completely add up.

More Fun with Children of the 90s Search Terms
More Fun with Children of the 90s Search Terms
There have been so many hilarious search terms popping up in my Google Analytics tracking data, I felt it was only fair to spread the funny around and share them with you. After all, havent you ever wondered what make other readers and/or random internet lurkers like yourself curious about the 90s? Whats that? No? Youd rather just reminisce about the 90s? Just kidding, of course you do. Due to popular demand, were having another brief interlude to examine just how confused some of us 90s fanatics really are.
In the case of many of these terms, it seems the asker is simply misguided or possibly suffers from incredibly vague childhood memories. Others, though, are far more troubling. For one, it makes me want to build a makeshift time machine with suicide doors, gun it to 88, and knock out the guy who came up with the bright idea of teaching Whole Language in lieu of grammar in elementary schools. Clearly, many of us are still suffering from the unfortunate ramifications; if the frightening structure of some of these searches are indicative of our grammatical prowess, Im about to invest in widespread remedial training.
Granted, we all behave differently when we think no one is looking. We act differently in the comfort of our own homes than we do in the presence of others. After all, wed be far less likely to blast the Tom Jones and break out the Carlton dance if company was present. Google has granted us with a precious gift of insight into these innermost thoughts of our fellow 90s fans, and just what kind of nostalgiaheads would we be if we didnt accept and delight in that gift?
I appeal to you, fellow 90s fans, for help in decoding these Google quests. Between the lot of us, weve got to be able to provide these poor lost souls with some answers. If we cant come up with anything, well, then theres always mocking.
19 ninetys nickelodeon game show
I just really like this interpretive spelling; I propose we issue extra credit for number breakdown creativity.
90s cartoon that has a strong man that when changes back to a kid, green goo release
Ill need your help with this one, Im drawing a blank. Admittedly the description is lacking in...everything. Mostly proper tenses and pronouns.

3 boys, brothers. blonde hair, young musicians from the 90s, who were they
First of all, they were Hanson. Second of all, I feel like youre giving progressive clues on a game show. What do I win?
1993 music video with kids wearing bee
Really? Just wearing a bee? Thats it?
Good question. Unfortunately, my crystal ball is in the shop, so Im unable to ascertain the specific collective spirit of our innermost thoughts and feelings. Im guessing you could probably search deep within yourself and find the reasoning, if you just believe.
are you afraid of the dark janitor
Maybe its just the political correctness in me, but Im reading this as racist. For shame, anonymous googler.
children running away from foster care movies in 90s
fruit snack in the 90s that are made of noodles like a fruit
Theyre probably talking about String Thing here, but theres something to be said for the creative license in that description. Made of noodles like a fruit? Not noodle-like fruit, that might make some semblance of sense, but just noodles like an actual fruit. The comparison is baffling.
describe the types of lifestyle children live in the 9o’s and in the currant year that promoted fatness
We could probably start with the currant, the fruit is very sugary. Other than that, weve got an "o" instead of a zero in 90s, some very confused grammar, and the word "fatness." That word is pretty awesome.
compilations of awesomeness 90s
Look no further--youre already here!
edward scissorhands is so sad
Good point. No, really, I appreciate you sharing. Im glad we had this talk.
oh we have that baby-sitter died
I dont even know where to start with this one. What? I guess it could be some very confused variation of Dont Tell Mom the Babysitters Dead, but its really all over the place.

90s song can i get your number the one with the seven digits
dont you hate it when your eating a dunkaroo and the biscuit breaks in the
In the what? The what? The suspense is killing me now. And for the record, I totally do.
how many kids in the 90s didnt have a dad
Um, total? Worldwide? Fictional? Youve really got to be a little more specific. Id like to help, but youre throwing a two centimeter lure into a 343,423,668,428,484,681,262 gallon ocean. Yes, I just had to google "gallons in the ocean," so someone will probably be making fun of me on their Google Analytics search term round-up sometime soon.
90s cartoon which superhero usually says lets get dangerous
I just like the phrasing on this one...usually. Did Darkwing Duck occasionally forget his lines or have flash of creative discretion? Maybe sometimes he just didnt feel like it.
Thats not even the worst of it, but I used my discretion in censoring the really obscene and/or absolutely non-native English speaker-generated content. If any of you know these answers, please, throw these poor souls a line. Its the least we can do. Well, actually, we could probably not do anything, so its the second least we can do. Regardless, they truly need your help.

More Fun with Stars and Stripes!
More Fun with Stars and Stripes!
Stars and Stripes Paper Crafts
These are some paper crafts my kiddos and I made last year. I think we got our ideas from MarthaStewart.com...they are simple enough for kids to really help. We had lots of fun making them and they made our patio so festive!
The Paper Lantern: this is just like the Halloween ones that we all made in elementary school!
The Stars: Just cut three stars out of three different papers, stack and staple in the middle, then fold the top and bottom ones so they show the one beneath.
The Firework: Just cut a 8x2 paper stip into fringe. Then roll and tape onto a skewer stick. These were fun to set al around in different colors and heights on the food table! (place in the decorative cans or poke into salads, watermelon, etc)
Here is a super fun party favor. We made one for each family to say thanks for coming! We used red paper and blue duct tape. The toothpick top we got from Michaels.
