My grandson saw one of my first large canvas paintings that was an original and was actually the first one I had ever done in this style.  He asked me if I would/could do one with skeletons for his apartment....sooooo...despite numerous stops and redos I am really content with the way this is progressing  ....  I am using a lot of stencils, parts of stencils, redoing stencils, as well as freehand, altering,  shading, highlighting, etc.  I think this is going to be a real hard one to say goodby to when I am finished and even if I wanted to I doubt that I could ever duplicate.  Right now I am waiting for small, brass skull head beads to "stick".  I am going to be adding 5 of them different places on the canvas.  Not just sure where this will head tonight when I go down.  Sometimes I just sit and look at it ...willing it to do it....  but I am really enjoying this one.   Continue to watch as it develops....do you see the skeletons whic...

This is a specialty brush kit that FM and DYNASTY brushes put together for me about 8 years ago.  For me,  they are "staple" brushes.  I put the kit together using Dynasty Wave, Dynasty Dry Brush along with large and small IPC Flat Blends.  To use these brushes I found a few things enhanced their usage ... a Break In of sorts.  Additional sizes are available in the Dynasty  Collection series and in the IPC line there are other shapes of brushes.   A great online site to purchase your brushes is:  www.thebrushguys.com  I have worked with them for years and never had a problem. Next time I think I will introduce you to the Foliage Wave brush and give you some tips on how to break this brush in, prep it before use, clean, and where to hold the brush, etc.  I feel all are requirement to achieve good results.   If there are any questions please email me at dianaputnam555@gmail.com and I will do my best to answer.

I really like the uniqueness of this necklace.  It was created on a 4 inch headpin.  The stones are drilled close to the edge, spacer beads were used between the flat stones. The buddha head bead and the labyrinth are made by Tierra Cast and sold on Etsy  www.dragynsfyre.etsy.com.  The stones are looser than I wanted but I didn't want to glue..  I wanted them to look like steps leading upward after leaving the labryinth or the buddha down to the spiritual maze.   The necklace chain is small diameter synthetic cording which I have knotted in several places.    Over the weekend I am going to try doing another one.

This is the 2nd large canvas I have done using a verdigris background and allowing the painting...rather than planning.   I just began a 3rd painting for my grandson ... he has requested a design using skulls so we will see how that goes.

 In Oregon medical and recreational marijuana is legal and we have quite a few dispensaries here in Bend. THESE PRODUCTS ARE LEGAL IN 50 STATES AND ALSO INTERNATIONAL ORDERS. GO TO:   WWW.HEMPWORX.COM/MISSPRU AND READ ALL ABOUT THE PRODUCTS. Finding a CBD oil that was being made without any added ingredients,,,, and without THC in the dispensary is not easy. To have a medical MJ card runs a little over $500 a year, but recreational personal use is free.  Something is the matter with this rationale. Many individuals would like to try the CBD oil but don't do so for several reasons: 1.  Don't want to go into a dispensary 2.  Cannot use CBD products because of the THC and work because the THC level is over what the law says is considered legal. 3.  Cannot afford a medical card and I am sure there are many other personal reasons. I just recently purchased 750mg Hemp CBD oil for both my husband and myself and also for our 13 year old fur baby who has problems wi...

I am taking an online class called Patina and Vertigris and so far it has been an "experience".  Stepping out of my comfort zone.....  The bottom picture is where i started and hated so much brassy gold so I tamed it down and then things just began happening.  I am also working on a larger canvas than I normally do so that in itself has created a bit of fear.....  I am enjoying the process and I have no idea where I will end up......  Tonight I added a layer of modeling paste on the left hand side and bottom of the top canvas and applied a Hieroglyphic stamp to see how it would imprint.  Something else that is new for me.  Tomorrow when it is dry I am going to paint it and then add a patina to it.  I think I am going to do bronze and the teal color and then go over the top with some black......  I have a 2nd canvas that is waiting for me done in silver, teal and black and it will need some enhancing also ..........

I am getting ready to  list these 2 necklaces on Etsy.  They are convertible because there are claps on the beaded portion that can be adapted to a chain or to a knotted cord type chain.  Get several different looks. The gemstone to the left is a Chinese Painted Jasper and the one on the right is an Agate Druzy.  There is an open area on the downside top that is beautiful white crystal. (Druzy) I have used Lava beads, Czech beads, Swarowski  crystals,  and handmade lamp work beads. Jewelry making is so relaxing and enjoyable.
