Thanks for the inspriation, Lori with the Garnet Hill bedding. I loved looking at all the pattern and color of the quilt! In the end, I chose to limit my color palette to the blue/browns.
I knew right away I'd go the inchie route for todays challenge. And Martha S's mail art punch came in handy with my scraps of paper. I stamped Stampers Anonymous artist definitions onto GP white cs (TH di brushed corduroy) embossing in clear. I arranged my little squares of color, texture and pattern as a frame. I added Above the Marks' (I think) fairy to the left side. She is inked with ColorBox peacock gold and embossed in clear. I used the Spicia clear glitter pen on her wings and colored her body and dress with Copics. This panel is mounted onto unknown card stock and distessed. As a finishing touch, I circled the word artist.
So tell me something about what being an artist means to you. And whether you paint with ink, oils, cloth, or yarn or even words...stay in the lines or not...we are all ARTISTS!

Oh Susan! Finally got back to yesterday's gallery - this took my breath away! What a wonderfully artistic creation! I love all the little squares in the subdued color palette you chose! The artist definition panel is awesome!
I love your interpretation of today's inspiration bedding!

I missed this one. I cannot believe the creativity of this quilt. I am amazed. The little tiny square are perfect. This is more than just being a stamper. THIS is true art. I think that all art must come from your heart. No matter what creative path you chose. If your heart is in it it will be a masterpiece. Thanks for making me really think about this. Sometimes I feel we get all caught up in things and forget to really reflect on the true meaning of our art. Mine is to show others through my work that I care about them and who they are.
P.S. I am too sappy today. LOL.
