Sketch N Scrap November Sketch #2

So the lovely ladies at Sketch-N-Scrap  revealed the second sketch for November at sketchnscrap.blogspot.com. This is Sketch #45.


 I loved the simplicity of this sketch, and I knew exactly what photos I wanted to use.



 I am still in the process of scrapping all of my NYC photos (I have two separate trips worth!!) and these were some I had taken on my phone and had instagramed. I got them printed at my local Walmart.

I used Graphic 45's Le Cirque (if you haven't already noticed I have a bit of a G45 obsession!!!!)



I thought this sketch would be great to do some stitching on, which I don't do very often. But I think it turned out great! I use the Sew Easy tool from We Are Memory Keepers. I like it for when I don't want to drag out my sewing machine. I embroider anyway, so I don't mind doing it by hand.

I also used a real book page that I got from my local scrapbook store. It was an assortment of real book pages from Splash of Color. I added a few gemstones here and there to give it some sparkle too.

Thanks for stopping by!-AR

    Ah, NYC ... one of my favorite cities! I love your take on the sketch, and how you switched things up by using 4x4 (?) photos instead of traditional 4x6 ones. It looks great! Thanks for taking the time to play along with us at Sketch N Scrap :)

Artist afraid of her own supplies?!?

If you're looking at the title you're probably thinking to yourself "How is that even a thing?!" Well it is. I fell head over heels in love with Sennelier oil pastels last winter. So much so that I made a very large investment in buying the entire set of pastels. It came in this big, beautiful wooden box that held all 120 colors. It came and I would stare at the colors, and I would watch these videos of people making beautiful works of art with them.  I poked around with them a bit, but eventually they wound up sitting in their pretty box on a shelf. And that is where they have been since I bought them. Sitting on my shelf, collecting dust. Why you ask? Fear. Fear that my art wouldn't hold up to what I had seen created with them, fear that I wouldn't be able to handle the learning curve of oil pastels, fear that I wasn't good enough. What it boils down to is fear of myself and fear of failure more so then the art supply itself. Basically what I’...
