What a wonderful week I had in Arizona! My friend Diane has the most fabulous craft room in which we spent hours of fun creating these wonderful pieces of art. I worked on the polymer clay pieces while Diane created the backgrounds by adding different textures.
We delved into the fabulous world of Steam Punk, creating these two mixed media canvas pieces. The hair was made out of curled construction paper. Diane had some sheetrock tape which gave this one such a wonderful look and the shiny background is air conditioning tape. I love how they turned out!!!
One day our friend Gayl joined us, bringing small canvases and all kinds of wonderful items for embellishments. She showed us how to create these darling double hanging canvases. I loved how they transformed with each added step. the one at the bottom is Diane's the one on the left is Gayl's and the one on the right is mine. It was so much fun learning something new. Both Diane and Gayl are so very talented as you can see by their artwork.

Sounds like you had a wonderfully creative and fun time together!! The pieces you collaborated on are just lovely, I don't think I can even pick a favorite, I love them all!!
Thank you Trina. It was such a fun relaxing time for me.
I've been locked up in my craft cave. Just now saw this post. I love how you and Diane expanded the format. Wish you were closer so that we could enjoy more of those perfect days. Everything you did turned out grand!
I wish I lived closer too Gayl. It was such a special day for me crafting with you and Diane.
What a great and creative time you must have had! I love the collaborative cards with PC embellishments (especially the cat one) and what cool effects you got with the Steam Punk pieces complete with air conditioning tape. The canvases with embellishment open up a whole new area of creative and unique pieces. You work is so versatile!
