I couldn't sleep the other night & had to make a choice...dust the shack or make art. Above is the choice! The decision didn't take much thought... anyway...When I bought this antique book, Rick asked why I would pay $1 for an old book with no cover. Well...check out the color of the pages & the page titles...I found it PERFECT for art. This is another reminder to ALWAYS keep your eyes open for ART PARTS! They're everywhere.
I stamped Maya Road's new wing stamp onto grungeboard and added them to the chipboard gal. FUN combo. That teeny-tiny heart and the arrow are from the microchips tins, from Maya Road.
Here's a better look @ the wings. The paper on her dress is from Jenni Bowlin. I added just a bit of magic mesh.
Ok...contest details next...
Look thru the Maya Road catalog & tell me which art is mine. Some on the cover...some inside. Study hard...
Post a comment here with your guess.
Now here's the twist... you also need to guess how many pieces of art I made for Maya Road...This is kind of funny, because I actually have no clue. I'll check it out when I unpack the projects and I'll find out then. Don't forget to include the total number in your comment.
I'll be back on the 15th with the winner. I think I'll keep the PRIZE a secret and keep you in suspense...Sound like fun??
One by air...CHA or bust...Maya Road booth 1987. PLEASE come see us!!! We have tons of cool stuff to show you.

I'll check out Maya Road tomorrow. I would really like to meet you. I'm heading out to CHA also. I come to your blog a lot..I may not always comment, but I love your artistic style. Through you I also connect with t!m and I enjoy his blog so very much.
ReplyDeleteWill you be at the Maya Road booth most of the time or only at certain times. If you would like my email is DeborahL591@yahoo.com. I would really love to meet you and let you know how much I admire your work.
The art work is lovely. Thanks for the reminder. Its true that some times we overlook some great works just because they look old and torn. If you are interested in Art Glass you can check out this link.
ReplyDeleteHey Wendy - you're at CHA now, but wanted to still say how much I love your little lady with wings :) And LOVE all your stuff in the catalog, I haven't counted your stuff though!
ReplyDeletebeautiful little lady with wings... I keep check your blog...have fun at CHA!
ReplyDeleteKatey
Oh Wendy I have no idea either how many you yould make - so I'll guess 23 LOL
ReplyDeleteHere are my guesses:
ReplyDeleteCover: 2 pics in and 2 up, on the keychain
the row houses on the ruler
and the picture beside the office sheers
I am guessing that you took 17projects to CHA.
Ok...new at this whole blogging thing...I am now typing my guesses for the 3rd time....OK then...
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy, we met at Ranger U last fall...loved your work then...continue to love it now!!!
Here are my guesses...
Front cover (3)items, Color book,upper right corner, crackle paint flower & florish, 3rd line down, and the box with chained pages, done in your signature brown..or is that Vintage Photo?!?!
On Chipboard set page, "Houses", on the Micro chips page, Color book again, On the Clear stamps page, "Lisa", and on the sheer sets page the Long skinny photo by the alphabets, and I'm guessing you made 13 items for Maya Road...keep up the great work. Enjoy CHA, are you demoing at the Ranger booth?
Hi Wendy,
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed CHA and the warmer weather!!
Ok, for my guesses:
Front cover: Color book, flower with flourish & the bok with chain book (very you and very distressed.)
The row houses with ruler
The book with the work love on page with chipboard alphabet
Pink page of your color book on the microchip page
I'm guessing on this one, but the flowers on the sheer sets page, the picture is just a little too small to know for sure but the chipboard flowers sure look like your style.
Lisa on the clear stamp page of which I really need that stamp!
Ok, I think that is all, I sure hope you didn't throw us for a loop and not use vintage photo distress ink on some! Oh, wait the guess on how many pieces you took: I will say approximately 24 for Maya Road.
Maybe I will see you on the 17th!
Michelle
Hi Wendy!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a funtabulus time at CHA in S.CA!
Lets play "Battleship" for the front cover:the vertical grid is the alphabet and the horizontal line are numbers...so "A4,B4" is the Ranger tinted layered book
"C3"-stacked ble flower
"D2"-brn. inked
"E2"-sheer inked scallop
I guess those 4 art works for the cover of MR's catalog
Inside:
1)House Chipboard-Heart & Home mounted on the wooden ruler
2)Large Chipboard "LOVE" on board book
3)"Lisa"(The Master's) Birthday Art
I guess that those are the 3 pictures inside the catalog that are your work.
I am guessing you had a "Baker's Dozen" (MMMMmmmmm...food)at the show-so when you unpack 13 items when you get back from CHA I will be the happiest woman (that did'nt get to go to the Show-I can't compete for happiest with CHA Attendees).
Miss yer bloggin',
Erin : )
