As always, it's been too long since postings. So I'm just uploading the art that I've done since the last time I posted on August 1 (yikes!).

Steampunk Journal

2009-08-01T10:46:00.003-04:00

I'm working on a collabrative Steam Punk Journal. These pages are my front cover, back of cover, and sign in page. The journal has been sent to the next artist and she will add a page and then send it onto the next. I believe it will be approx 5-6 months before I see it again, but when it comes back home, I'll have some great art from fabulous artists! I'll also be working in their journals.

Postcard Mania

2009-08-01T10:21:00.005-04:00

I've really enjoyed making postcards lately - and then sending them out into the world "naked"... In otherwords, the art is actually sent as a postcard, so that the post office will alter them one more time. No hiding in an envie for these guys!

If you would like a post card from me, please send me an email! Give me a choice of 3 themes and I'll make you one! :) corrie_manning @ yahoo.com (take out the spaces of course!)

Japanese Moleskine Journals

2009-08-01T09:56:00.004-04:00

More Japanese Moleskine Journal entries... The purple page is based on the theme of "What makes your heart soar." The sea page was based on the theme of "Mermaids."

Cat Tip In Pages

2009-08-01T09:50:00.003-04:00

What are tip in pages???

"Tip In's" are individual pages that are created with the sole purpose of being added to an existing journal or altered book. It can be stapled, sewn, taped, hole punched and laced, etc. Think of it as loose leaf notebook paper being added to a 3-ring binder - that's a tip in.

This page was created for another artist's altered book. She asked me if she could she print out some of my cat art and add them to her altered book. Instead of that, I told her that I would make her an original page.

Japanese Moleskine Journal

My four page, vertical spread in Curbsidetreasure's Japanese moleskine journal. Her theme was about fairytales. I decided on simplicity and I really like the result. The first picture shows the entire finished project. The last 2 are close ups.

A couple of weekends ago, my husband was my hero and painted my art studio. In the morning it was the ugly olive green and by 1 am (14 hours later), it was the beautiful blue with the white stripe. I plan on adding my art in the stripe. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Whimsical Cat Chunky Book

2009-03-04T19:43:00.008-05:00

On the ATCSforall.com website, there is a "Whimsical Cat" chunky book swap in progress. For this swap, I have to make 20 cat pages and then I'll send them to the hostess. The hostess will then send me back 20 different cat pages from 20 different artists.

The cat pages that you see here are MY pages that I submitted... and I have to say... I DON'T WANT TO GIVE THEM UP!!!!! I totally LOVE THEM!

Misc. Personal Trades & Swaps - ATC

I've been making a lot of ATC's lately that I've been trading with other individual arts, rather than swaps. Here they are.

In the style of Picasso

2008-07-30T20:54:00.004-04:00

For this ATC swap, we had to hand draw a Picasso painting/drawing or create our own Picasso "style" drawings.

Here are my attempts and I have also included a picture of Picasso's actual painting that I tried to copy.
