Art Around the House

I've actually put some of my quilts and things on the walls this week, so here are a couple of photos of the living room/dining room. I've had so much art sitting on the shelf and don't know why I never really thought to put it out for display! It's always fun to see into other people's houses.

Pagelets

I'm calling these little paintings pagelets because they're each done on a book page that's been dyed with ink. I drew the images, painted with acrylics and then thread sketched them with black thread. I actually hung one up in my house. I'm getting braver.

Zentangledoodling

I loved the fun article in CPS about Zentangles, so when I went away to a library conference last week I made my notes into doodles.

Colorful Totes

I've just been in a painting mood lately. It all started with these cute totes I got at Hot Topic (the only place we shop). They're just plain white and they were on sale for a dollar, so I picked them up for a song. I used acrylic paints mixed with textile medium.
