Wednesday Art Card Donation

My Wednesday art card donation was a photograph on a painting I did several years ago of a dachshund. Since I am not a card artist, I don't think about using my art as reproductions for other art pieces. It was well received and I am pleased.

My Wednesday Art Card Donation

I am not really an orange person, even though orange is one of the trademark colors of Harley-Davidson and we own one. I'm more the black and silver girl. Any way I tried using a color outside my comfort zone and it was the perfect color for Hooters pin attached to it.

So I have a stash of Hooters pins from Las Vegas and gave all the Ladies in the Harley group their choice of pins several months ago. So what do you do with a bag of Hooters pins? Make art of course.

I used variegated ribbon yarn woven on the front of the card with a double thickness of felt to raise the pin up and make it more prominent. I used an owl image from my art files for the inside of the card.

The outside of the card reads: Mild, Medium, Hot.

The inside of the card reads: If you're hot...who cares how old you are.

Art Card Donation

On Wednesdays I attend an art demo class at Stampadoodle in Bellingham. They demonstrate new techniques, new products, or new ways to use existing products, materials, and tools.

Those who attend can donate handmade cards that are sold and the profits are used to buy art supplies for programs helping youth at risk within our community.

My card was inspired by one I saw on Martha Stewarts website.

Friendship CArd

Stampadoodle in Bellingham WA has a Wednesday noon demo of art supplies and techniques. They are soon moving to a new location and those attending have been making and doanting handmade cards that will be sold by donation and the money given to local charities that use art to help children in crisis.

This is my donation for the week. A folded card with two tags using an orginal poem I wrote and vintage photos and various art supplies including gel medium, texture paste, gold leafing pens, rubber stamps, ribbons, etc.

Friends are gifts
Treasured and cherished
Sharing wisdom and truth
An ear to listen
A shoulder to lean on
We laugh, we cry
The good, the bad
We care, we share
We found each other
Dancing to a different beat
Confidants and co-conspirators
Words cannot describe
What friends really are

Fuze - it's what's inside that counts!

It’s what’s inside that counts
And your beauty shines from within
Fuzed into an angel in disguise
Inspiring others with your honesty
A faithful friend, full of grace
Caring for those
Who come into your life
The best of the best
Has been fuzed into you
