January fairy tale challenge

This one is based off the song Empty Sea by The Sneetches - I discovered it last year and it became an instant favorite, and a big part of the reason is the lines "changing my direction for a new reflection." The song got stuck in my head while I was working on week 2, and the more I thought...

Reset, week 3

Oh wow, thank you - just the ray of sunshine I need today :-D

Ok, so I actually didn't just use one for inspiration ... wombat146 bowled me over. I found this one first, and immediately fell in love with ... well, everything. The colors, the elements, and that sweet little bird: But I couldn't really figure out a way to use it that wasn't a direct...

January's Copycat Challenge, inspired by A WALK IN NATURE and OBSERVATIONS, both by wombat146.

And this is my second inspiration for the copycat challenge. This piece is 100% right up my alley as far as style and aesthetics. It's so warm and lush.

I love everything about this piece - it's the first inspiration for my copycat challenge :-D

This week was so much easier - I could have tooled around on it some more (I surely hate empty spaces), but that's always a tar pit of an idea. I like it, so good enough.

Well this took way too long - but in all honesty, it was me overthinking it. It still isn't exactly what I envisioned, but time is flying, and sometimes finished is better than perfect.

I love recipe challenges. They're always so much fun. I made this one harder on myself by insisting on using only one kit ... which I didn't do, exactly. I fell in love with the word art from You're My Wildflower, but I had to add in the mini-kit to get all the needed elements. But man, it sure...

This took forever, but only because I couldn't figure out what I wanted to say about this year. By all rights I should be horrified, terrified, furious ... and I am, but those are all background feelings right now. So far I'm just looking forward to the year, which, frankly, I would not have...

For the January Artsy/Mixed Media Challenge

This is the first piece I've made in almost a year - it felt so good to get back to it.

Made for the January ATC Challenge

Hey, I'm Bee. I've been hanging out in the corners off and on for a long time now - I'm pretty sure I've introduced myself under some other name, but this year is all about starting fresh, so here I am to re-introduce myself. I've been struggling with creative blocks on all fronts, and I figure...
