Inspiration mix up

This card was inspired by Keeva Joelle -Benjamin.  I do not know Keeva, but my  friend posted a picture of a card.  I thought my friend made the card.  I made a comment on the post...but then read in more detail and realized that the card was not made by friend (ROTFLOL)  I used the card for inspiration anyway.

Card base left over from Valentine's projects at Sunday School.
The rest is made from scraps.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you come again soon.

How does your garden grow

A flower touches everyone's heart...Georgia O'Keefe

I used the Marvy embossing markers on glossy paper and then punched out the flowers.  The sentiment is embossed.  Other supplies: white signo uniball pen, pearl pen, butterfly embellishment, white embossing powder.

Used for the Journal52 prompt #13

ATC

So I am stuck on the couch...I might as well make something.  I used the Adinkra Symbol to make this ATC.  It is called GYE NYAME it means "except for God"  It is a west African symbol used especially in Ghana to represent the supremacy and omnipotence of God and fearlessness of His followers.

I used water color pencil, sharpie, charcoal 3B, water brush

Door wreath

Here is an outdoor wreath.  Those are fabric flowers made with Afri-centric printed fabric.

The grapevine wreath is recycled from a Goodwill find.

Some gifts

Here are some gifts that I made during the Christmas season.

microwave popcorn covers (the hat is a pair of socks)

Popcorn kernels in recycled baby food jars

Chai tea (this was the first craft under my new business name- Tina Riley Imaginariums)

Drawings from the hospital bed

It seems like I will never finish the 29 faces that I have been unofficially doing.  Uhhhhh wasn't that challenge over in February? (LOL)  I just knew I would catch up in the hospital, but I did not feel like arting as much as I thought I would.  So here are two faces that I did manage to draw.  One I actually didn't finish until I came home. 

Now I am home recuperating making blankets and watching others make art via the internet.  I really want to get back in the studio, but I feel blah.  I hope my mojo returns soon.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you come again soon.
