there is much to be thankful for and i am so very, very thankful.
I count my blessings every day.

Happy Thanksgiving!

For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, For love and friends, For everything Thy goodness sends.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson

You name it, I've transferred with it. I've been doing transfers for many years, but this is the easiest and most foolproof process I've found for making consistent, easy transfers. Such a fun and magical technique! Here's a few of the ATC's I made for our new zine. See these and more in Red Lead's new

When I started painting these journal pages I realized how much I love layering gesso and color. This weekend was our Altered Calendar Journal Workshop at the store and what a great day we had. Everyone loved the process and color splashes they created! If you haven't grabbed your brushes and paints lately...you should. It's fun and so relaxing. Come join the fun at our next Altered Calendar Workshop on Oct. 18th. It's sure to be creatively inspiring!

I've always loved butterflies. Little bits of

nature in such a pretty package.

Here's one of the collages I made for the Altered Art

Calendar Workshop at Red Lead using our

new Stacking Butterfly ATC Stamp. These

giddy girls look so happy holding their fun

butterfly sticks. Looks like they love butterflies

as much as me!...Chris
