Fairy Slipper Project

The PaperWhimsy Art Group is the venue for a magnificent project hosted by Carol Stocker (see my post from yesterday).

Carol is not only a phenomenal teaser - she's been posting teaser photos and clues for the last several days in the forum - she is also an inspired artist.  Using Annette Emms' wonderful fairy slipper pattern Carol is hosting a 1/1 project - make a pair get a pair - of these awesome magical teeny tiny shoes.

Not only are you getting a wonderful original work of art for your efforts, there is also a prize involved.  Annette Emms herself is judging the submissions for Best of Show and the winner receives a copy of the Embroiderer's Guild magazine, Stitch, which had a fantastic article featuring Annette's slippers.

So, artists, if you're interested in stretching your mixed media wings and jumping into this project with both fairy-slippered feet, then mosey on over to the PaperWhimsy Art Group forum and sign up (or register and *then* sign up if you're not already a member).

This project is limited to 18 participants and the spots are going quickly.  If you don't make it in time for this project, we have another project currently taking sign-ups: Every Girl Needs a Crown that also includes a prize for Best of Show - $50+ worth of crown fixin's from the PaperWhimsy shoppe.  Other projects are in the works and will be opening soon in the PaperWhimsy Art Group forum.

Be there or be square!  (Not to mention slipperless).

Some New Faces

I digitalized and reworked a couple of photos for my collage sheet line.  Boy, I love that Photoshop. 

This is a composite using a face that I loved and a dress that I loved.

And this pretty face was rediscovered using a bit of Photoshop slap :o)

Both of these images will be available in my shoppe and most easily found by looking in the NEW section.  They're anxiously awaiting their next big adventure.

Jumping right in

Hey there.  If you've bumped into my website you might already know that there is also a PaperWhimsy Art Group.  We're transitioning from the yahoo venue over to a brand new spankin' new forum.   Created for mixed media artists who like working with my collage sheets and the stuff that is stuffing the virtual shelves of my shoppe.

So, big deal?  I like to think so.  We have lots of camaraderie and lots of projects planned for 2008.  One that is opening up tomorrow at about 12:00pm CST for sign-ups is limited to just 18 participants and hosted by the inimitable Carol Stocker.  This project, quite probably will stretch your mixed media wings if you decide to mosey on over, register to the forum and line up for the sign ups.

Carol is planting some teasers in the forum so swing on by and take a peek.  Borrowing from Carol...

Hi Whimsies & Draw ( )...since the next project being announced is the one that I am hosting, I thought I should put a little teaser out there to pique your interest. The announcement will be made at approximately noon (CST) on Saturday Feb 16 and it is limited to 18 people.

Here are today's clues:

**There is an important reason why the group is limited to 18.
**This is the first swap of this kind (that I know of) being done in the USA.
**Attached is a photo of a portion of my project.

Stay tuned, tomorrow there might be more clues...you can guess all you want...what do you think it will be?

Hugs to you...hope you'll sign up on Saturday!

Carol

And Carol has just planted another teaser so come on over, register and give her a virtual pinch for being such a big tease!
