A dream is just a dream, a goal is a dream with a deadline (paraphrased from Harvey McKay) or like to say to myself in my art studio "just show up"! I am a mixed-media full-time artist that loves painting, collage and encaustic. Recycling/repurposing as much as possible including tea bags, onion skins (anything is fair game) working intuitively preferring sticks, fingers, feathers as tools over a paint brush. I am grateful for the opportunity to create in my studio daily.

Day Two - Duct Tape Bookmarks
What fun! I loved this! This is one bookmark, reversible.......My daughter found this awesome duct tape at Wally World for me. I think they actually call this brand "Duck" tape. I love the designs. I love the feel of these bookmarks. I made it reversible, with a different pattern on each side. I used card stock inside to make them sturdier. Very fast, fun, easy. (I have even seen prom dresses made out of duct tape!!)!. There is a lot of wonderful duct tape prints out there too. I saw some with Justin Bieber on it, but they wanted $12 for it at Office Max. My granddaughter would have loved a bookmark made out of it. These can be addicting. I don't think I can make just one.
I've already made some discoveries as I plunge into making: A Bookmark-A-Day for 365 Days. In order to complete this project and to last the whole year - I will have to get ORGANIZED!! I will have to organize my supplies AND my time!! Also, for now I will have to make bookmarks with supplies on hand. Otherwise I can waste a lot of time shopping not to mention the expense!!
Well, this sure beats using my receipt from Michaels as a bookmark, like I did last night!
