365 Photo of the Day and a Fun Project

365 Photo of the Day

March-14-2014-Barb-Derksen

Have you ever seen one of these? 

A Fun Project

Turning THIS:

Tshirt-Canvas-Barb-Derksen-3

I wish I’d taken a photo of this before I snipped it up into bits… this is was a t-shirt I bought at the thrift store.  I kept looking at it thinking I wanted it.  I caved in and bought and kept trying it on over the next few days and finally thought, no, its “not me”.  So I went to put it back in the box destined to go back to the thrift store, but my hand wouldn’t let me.  That night I couldn’t get to sleep for thinking of what I wanted with that t-shirt and it finally came to me.  And this is the result!

A lot of watered down glue, tissue paper, glitter, gems, sequins, Tim Holtz alcohol inks and stamps and this is what my creation is made of.  I love it, it was very freeing.  I made several of these canvases, a few I’ve already given as gifts and need to recall them so I can take proper photos of and share them here.  This canvas was given as a draw prize at my OCC Women’s Fellowship Coffee, held at McKia’s (in the Best Western) at 1:00 each Thursday here in Osoyoos.  You’re all welcome to join us!

Have YOU ever re-purposed a clothes item into art?

365 Photo of the Day

Feb-13---oil-paint-effect

This is a photo of the lake today… with a bit of photoshoppery applied to it.  I liked the “oil painting” effect!  The clouds were so pretty and it was nice to see some blue sky for a while.  I hear tell we can expect the sun to shine for the next few days.

BIG THANKS

to

LUSH

I would like to thank LUSH – and in particular the Lush store in Kelowna for blessing my Osoyoos Christian Center Ladies coffee group (we meet every Thursday at McKia’s restaurant in Osoyoos) with some small sample bars of your delicious soaps which I paired with a heart shaped sewn bookmark as small “celebrate love” Valentines themed gifts.  I was truly grateful for your contribution!
