Work in Process and Lesley Riley

Here I am on Saturday back in my studio!!!  I can't wait to get going on my ideas today.  I've got my big cup of coffee and I'm raring to go!  Now if only I could find my worktable (I know it's under all these piles somewhere LOL).  I printed my Tulip Trio in white onto tea-dyed muslin and painted the flowers with watercolors and then sealed with matte medium.  Then, I screen-printed on top of my little canvases with one of my screens that has imagery from post cards on it.  These are the results and I envision a set of really cute fiber art pieces developing.





For the past 10 weeks, I have been taking Lesley Riley's ASAP program (Artist Success Action Plan) and I wanted to inform you about it.  The program is great for anyone who really truly sees themselves as a successful artist.  Each week, there is a scheduled call by Lesley who delivers fantastic content and additional tools and resources to help you get organized.  The later sessions focus on self-promotion, self-packaging and social media. 

I highly recommend the ASAP program and I feel that there is no one better to teach and share their first-hand experiences and insight than Lesley who has proven herself as a successful artist, teacher, coach and mentor.  Go here to the overview of her program for more information.

See you tomorrow!

I think these three pieces look wonderful. I really like the colors you have used in them.

These are lovely. I like the way the edges of the screen printed tulips are uneven. It helps to blend it into the background especially with the over printed postcard details.

Margaret, the colors are vibrand and perfect! I really like what you did with the post card screens. And that's a good tip about using matt medium to seal the watercolors.
I drink tea three times a day and never understood how much tea can stain cloth until I wiped up a spill. It didn't even bleach out in a full wash cycle!
Time to get dying on purpose, I s'pose.
Did I see you write that you have Post Card Screens? (hint, hint)
