I guess this is it folks. Just a few more days until 2010 is a memory. Wow! Time goes so fast!
I bought the year end Somerset Gallery edition and was in awe at the variety of mixed media projects. Thinking back to the last year I can not envision not having my art challenges and paper to keep me motivated. I have been one full year plus with PDA. Honored with moderator status for two groups. I moderate both the altered puzzle group and tag group. I also participate in about half a dozen other groups and challenges on PDA.
I remember one of my first ATCs was a drawn image, some stickers, and an image of a little girl. Even though it was one of the more simple attempts at ATC art it holds special meaning even today.
Now I have graduated to postcards, altered puzzle pieces, skinnys, row houses and altered journals. My art has changed and I feel more comfortable calling myself a self taught mixed media artist. But I see so many more places I want to be with my art. I am really looking forward to 2011!
My art mentor and teacher calls me Jean machine. I usually take an idea and run with it. That's me! I have tunnel vision until I try a new technique and master it.
My greatest challenge going into 2011 is organizing my craft studio. I may be well into the new year before that is finished.
My second challenge is to learn more about using everyday items in my mixed media projects. I want to have a more imaginative eye for what is art. I am still working on my own original idea.
Lastly, I want to be published. Ultimate Kudos would be having my art grace the pages of Somerset Studio.
I will keep you updated.
