Handpainted Sunflowers Clip Art

These are sunflowers from a couple of my oil paintings, that I tweaked to make a clip art page. There are individual sunflowers, a little header, corners and flipped sunflowers so you can make your own headers, corners and other cool sunflower stuff. All angel, which means there are no restrictions other than reselling my sheet (duh). I want artists to feel free with these designs and play. Enjoy.

They are downloadable so you can print as many as you need. Plus no shipping and 24 hour delivery.

Look for them in my artfire shop>>>>see link at right.

Original Clip Art Roses

I have taken photos of some of my oil and watercolor paintings and played with them to make a sheet of clip art roses. I love using roses in my collage and altered book stuff and I wanted something original, so I played with Print Shop and some of my photos and Viola!

It was fun. First I imported the photo, carefully cut out the image from the background (enlarging the image helps with this) and then tweaked the image to have clarity and variety. I like using slightly greyed versions to make them look faded and old.

Here are some board dividers for an altered Book of Shadows in a Rose/Pink theme, that I actually made these for:

I have made a sheet of these available at my Artfire Shop that you can download:

My New Supply Shop

I have decided to add an Artfire Shop to my online venues. This will only be for supplies that I make myself. I have included my journal spots, hand painted papers, and tags. Look for new things weekly. I am having a great time inventing things to use for altered books, scrapbooking, and collage.

Some photos of Hand Carved Rubber Stamp Stuff

Here are some samples of what I do with my own rubber stamps:

New Lesson on My Website

The free lesson for January on my website is "How To Carve Your Own Rubber Stamps". After reading a thread on etsy asking for help on this, I decided to create a whole lesson. You can go to my website http://www.donnaldasmolensfineart.4t.com and click on the lesson page. You can print the picture for your own files. I love carving rubber stamps from erasers that I get at the dollar store. I use them to decorate tags, make borders on my handmade book pages, and in my collages.
It is very easy to do and it is fun to use them together to make rich borders or all over designs for backgrounds.
I have also posted some of the things I do with my stamps on Flickr.com.

Pages from my Art Journal

These are a couple of pages from my art journal. I have been playing with collage from magazines and combining them with drawing, rubber stamps and my own ephemera. It was fun. I am also offering them as prints on eCrater.
