t!m's Tag for May!!

 

Whew!!! I think I'm cutting this a little close..lol! This is my version of t!m's tag for May! I used tissue paper for my background. I couldn't get the wrinkled effect like I wanted to because my glue dried to fast...hehe. I think it came pretty good. I love the distress look I ended up with. The little pot is made out of polymer clay!! 

I distressed the roses with distress ink and dipped them in ultra thick utee...love it!

Here's the link for the man!

                                                  Here's a full view:))

  Close up of the little charm I made out of polymer clay. I stamped part of the lantern on a piece of white card stock glued it to the clay and covered it with beeswax!! I just got my melting pot with all these goodies so it I was having a blast and wanting to cover everything and anything I could get my hands on..lol....well, not everything..ha! Well, I better link this up before I miss out!  Oh, almost forgot, am I the only one that doesn't own a dress form of any kind??...lol. I am going to have to change that!!!  Too many pretty things you can do with dress forms...really!

Thanks for taking a peek! Have a super day:)

quote........[kwoht]

to repeat (a passage, phrase, etc.) from a book, speech, or the like, as by way of authority, illustration, etc.

Well who doesn't love a good quote?? I found some "art quotes"! I knew there were tons of quotes out

there, but to have them for art is so very cool!  Hope you enjoy!!

 

Let each man exercise the art he knows.

Aristophanes, Wasps, 422 B.C.

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.

Aristotle

Art does not exist only to entertain, but also to challenge one to think, to provoke, even to disturb, in a constant search for truth.

Barbra Streisand

You have got to discover you, what you do, and trust it.

Barbra Streisand

So you see, imagination needs moodling - long, inefficient, happy idling, dawdling and puttering.

Brenda Ueland

Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don't believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art's sake.

E. M. Forster

Without art the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.

George Bernard Shaw

Have a wonderful weekend my friends!
