Artistic Renderings

POUR RUNOFF #1

I am one of those refrigerator magnet persons...from photo inspirations I want to do, to recipes I want to try, and little memo reminders.......so rather than have a bunch of ugly magnets I decided to try my hand at using some of the saved RUN OFF from my pours and make some really neat artistic magnets... I loved the colors in this pour and since my colors are yellow, green and red, they worked perfectly.

I have used ATC sized canvas boards. (I sell these in my Etsy store). Business size magnets that I get from Staples by the box of 100, Locktight gel glue and within a couple of hours I had these 3 magnets up on my refrigerator and "in use".... and I am anxious to do another set of 3.

POUR #12

OOOOOH,.. I love these 2 pours too. Love the colors. Getting ready to do one with 2 different shades of Mauve and Silver with the white and ivory. Fingers crossed. It always amazes me how I can use the same colors and get 2 totally different looking finished pieces...... The darkest color is the metallic paint and it doesn't seem to "cell up" as the other colors do ...

Pour #11

This is my favorite pour to date. I LOVE the colors and the way it flowed. I used 3 pour colors with white and ivory for the swipe colors. They are on canvas...I used my torch. Elmers glue and water for the pour colors and GAC 800 for the swipes because it was already premixed. The photos show both pours wet but they didn't change overnight...the colors are still bright. I am not going to use any finish spray on these. I also sprinkled lightly with Glamour Dust while the paint was still wet.

POUR #10

You just NEVER know what is going to happen....at least I sure don't. All of these were poured using the same colors....... Sometimes cells aren't real important as I like the one with just a few and then I went a little larger and look what happened.....Pastels. I added more silicone into the little individual cups for this 2nd pour. The last 3 are small canvas pieces and they were laid in the run off. I like them all. I added Glamour Dust Glitter to them all.....

Pour #9

SAME COLORS FOR BOTH POURS
ALL METALLIC
ADDED GLAMOUR DUST WHEN STILL WET

Handmade (by ME) Spinner Rings

I have had these adjustable silver pewter plated rings in my stash for a couple of years. Wasn't sure what I was going to do with them once I got them because they didn't work for what I had in mind...then tonight charm rings came to mind. I went and got the rings and within minutes they had been constructed, photos taken and I had them listed in my Etsy shoppe for sale.

You can glue the little knob cap in place for a permanent piece or you can buy additional charms and change them out to your hearts' content. I suggest my daughters Etsy site @ www.dragynsfyre.etsy.com to purchase additional charms. She even has mixed packs of different charms in a quantity of 1 which is really GREAT.

I think the rings are really pretty, unique, and personal.

Great gift.... They ARE large and make a statement......

Wise Woman Necklace

I just received these woman beads in the mail that are made in Peru and I could hardly wait to work one up into a necklace. These will be shorter than what I have been making so that it nestles close to the throat area. I made this one with a nylon braided cording and some small handmade lamp work beads in 3 different colors. When I make to sell I will make this length or a tad longer and the buyer will have the ability to add additional knots or unknot to lengthen or shorten. I think this is one of my favorite pieces.

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CITRA SOLV PHOTOS THAT "DEVELOPED". I CAN SEE SO MANY DIFFERENT "THINGS" IN THIS . A BUTTERFLY, CAT, WATER SCENE, ETC. I MAY PRINT THIS OUT...GLUE ONTO CANVAS AND PLAY WITH WHAT I SEE ....

Wizard Necklaces Cording

These are additional wizard necklaces I made using cording and small handmade lamp work beads. They are casual pieces perfect for every day.

Handmade Wizard Necklaces

The Wizard focal ceramic bead is one of my favorite pieces. I just rec'd my order of 4 more and sat down to create some necklaces. These are 2 of the more elaborate ones. The bottom one is mine. Some pieces are just way hard to part with ... I love the top pink one....the wizard has quite a bit of a dark pink patina so it worked perfect with these pink ice crystal Czech beads. The bottom one is made using handmade lamp work beads that matched the patina on that Wizard. The other two are made using the cording, knotted and I added smaller handmade lamp work beads in a bluish color to match the focal bead.

I really relax and enjoy designing and making one of a kind jewelry items.

Handmade with Love Button(s)

What a neat little addition to add on to, or with your handmade items that you sell or give as gifts. Just tells everyone that a part of you went into what you have created ...... I sell these on my Etsy site:
www.artisticrenderings.etsy.com in lots of 3....and they come in two different sizes. Approximately 15 and 13 mm ....

Layers Panther Meadow at Mt. Shasta

View from Panther Meadow overlook....how many layers do you count?

Mt. Shasta

This picture does not do justice to the size of Mt. Shasta in California but the different textures was more what I was wanting to capture. All too soon it will be snow covered and absolutely beautiful.

The energy, the smells, the feeling of experience.

POUR #8

IN THE PINK......

With each pour I get closer to what I want.
In my swipe mixtures I am using Elmers Glue, Water, and Paint Mixture with no Silicone. Have made up a Black, White and Beige. Then in the pour colors I will use the Golden GAC 800 medium.... and the silicone.

So far I am using the Treadmill Belt Lubricant but I am wanting to try the Hair serum and see how that works. I have also used Metallic paints a couple of times and need to play with these more to manipulate some webbing....and not add to the pour colors. Maybe by using the spatula in the black swipe where there are no pour colors; dipped into the metallic paint, silicone, pour mixture.??

I am using too much paint so I have to be more observant. Too wasteful.

Pour #7

I really like the darker colors .... I also did 2 larger pours with the same mixture and they also turned out really nice but because these were different sizes I decided to show them. The heart is wood and I laid it in my run off and then torched. I didn't get a lot of cells but still pretty. The long skinny one is done on some canvas boards that are handmade with a portrait grade canvas. The webbing and the thing lines are the metallic color that I used...Dazzling Metallics by Americana DecoArt and on the bigger ones I also did dirty pours but I dipped my spatula in the run off and went into the dark area and created more webbings manually.... It is fun manipulating to see what happens rather than just pouring..... I also like the colors being thinner....the canvas pieces dry much sooner and because I am not aiming for gloss I don't need thick color. I think these darker ones will appeal to those who like modern, lean towards black and browns with some neutral colors, industrial chic, and men who want art that is not feminine and colorful but still unique and provoking.

I used 2 blue colors in this pour and they hardly show ... they seemed to get lost ....
