July Swaps!

For July the SWAPS are image transfer flowers and plants. And Washi Tape, I had no idea what Washi Tape even was until I found a link on how to make my own.

Besides one of the ICADS this week calls for Washi Tape so I'm glad I went out and got the supplies to make my own.

To transfer stuff I'm going to use the masking tape trick and print some flowers off the interwebs.

More Cards!

Here are three more cards for July...

July 5 - Stripes, the rainbow one is the sky, the green and blue one is the ocean or a lake that the train is going by. One of my favorites so far for July and we've just begun.

July 6 - Pattern, found it on the interwebs and drew it with colored pencils.

July 8 - Harry Potter 

Close up

Everybody's been painting with tea and coffee so I think I'm going to try that on my next card. And then the painting over Elmers Glue on some card in the future. (I haven't made July 7 card yet)

July 2 ICAD

Today was fun, yet crazy. 25+ kids showed up at the library today to draw and paint. We weren't expecting that many and some kids had to stand, not enough chairs for everyone. When the big group left I got a chance to use some water colors and make my index card for today.

Happiness

Water colors over white crayon and a black Sharpie flower. 

More Index Cards

Here are the start of the cards I made for July, once again I'm ahead of myself. Crafting when I can cause its so darn hot and out swamp cooler only just bearly keeps the house cool. Thanks be to our fans or I would melt. All we can do is wait on the rain to cool things off.

July 1 - Lizard, I think it looks like hes climbing up a stain glass window.

July 2 - Happiness, going to make this one at the library with some paint on Tuesday.

July 3 - Rainbow, makes me want to get a bag of Skittles.

July 4 - Nail Polish, I wanted to use real nail polish but then realized I didn't have any so I used paint instead. Traced my hand for this one, hope it doesn't look creepy. :P

One Index Card a Day

Sorry for not posting much of else lately. Almost done with week 4, ready for week 5, already have the prompts. June 2 will be a special card. Happiness! I'm helping with a painting class for kids at the library and I plan on making my card there. Its a rear treat when they let you use paint in the library LOL. But here are my last 2 cards, again working ahead of myself so I don't get left behind.

June 29 - Logo

MDS my initials

June 30 - My name is block letters

Had to shorten it to Shelll since Michelle wouldn't have fitted on the card.

Today is make a comic book at the library. I think I'll go cause it seems like fun, never made a comic strip before. I'll put it in my art journal I think. 

Corset

So the June SWAP I've been putting off is the corset. I couldn't think of anything until the other day when I saw one on the interwebs. Here's my corset for the SWAP. I also had fun with this project and enough pattern paper left over to make one for myself.

And a couple more index cards, jumped ahead of myself. 

June 27 - Peace

June 28 - Grocery List

This one was fun, I just cut out as many tiny food words and stuff I could fit on the card.
