From driftwood to artwork at Adrift Art Studio

 

One thing C.S. loves very much is driftwood. She found her first piece on the south shores of Lake Michigan and she has been hunting for unique pieces every since. She collects it. She cleans it and she makes artwork out of it.
 

Sometimes the pieces are small and she turns them in to jewelry pendants. Sometimes the pieces are very large and she has been known to turn them in to all kinds of things.
 

One thing for certain, she never gets bored with making the driftwood creations and she never gets bored with hunting the driftwood.
 

One of her favorite ways to be creative on driftwood is to add the technique of pyrography and color it up with acrylic paints. Sometimes she uses a small amount of acrylic paint and sometimes she just paints the night away.

 

This piece tells a story.
It is a very sad story. One that has not yet found an ending.

 

But she is sure it started with care less greed! Pretty Bad, Pretty? Bad? Pretty Bad......Pretty Bird, dirty bird.

Two Big Events This Summer

 

There is paint and wood and beads and wire, jumbled all about the work areas. C.S. and company have been staying busy. Two big events are marked on their calendar for this summer.The first is happening in July, not too far off now. Everything has to be packed and ready to fly to Chicago on the 13th. C.S. has been burning the midnight oil in preparation. Lots of good energy going on.

Late at night there is a good chance the neighbors hear her howling at the moon.

This place is a wreck

It looks like a tornado went through here...HHHHAAAA! I have been creating and a whirlwind of action has left the place looking like..."where is the bottom of my desk?" Okay so today I am going to try to straighten things up a bit because I cannot stand it anymore.
No room left to be creative. Need to wipe the slate clean so I can begin again.

Updating the blog page, in honor of the USA

Google came up with some new templates so I thought it a fun idea to freshen things up on the blog. The other thing was the 4th of July is not far off so what a way to celebrate the wonderful freedom we enjoy in our part of the world. Here's to the red white and blue! yes I know we have our problems but we are also the greatest nation on the planet and we should be proud of our country for all she is worth.

While we are on the subject, here is another idea. Why not make some fun bracelets for the 4th. This "how to" article can steer you in the right direction.Read it and make your creative side kick in and design your own bracelets, make some for the entire family.

You can pick up some materials listed below, available from Amazon.com and the prices are usually very competitive so chances are you will be able to save money and have everything you need shipped right to your front door. Happy Days to everyone.

Adrift Art Studio Is churning out the creative material

The things going on in our studio are sure to make an impact someplace. Sepi is busy working in the office, trying to get everything on the Internet while C.S. continues to write her "How To" articles. Helping other artists reach their goals is a big part of what makes this studio tick. The growth and develpoment of our studio is on a roll. It is so much fun to be able to work at the studio on a regular basis. Sure doesn't feel like a real job, well at least most of the time.
