I am thankful that when I have left this earth, I will leave something meaningful behind.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #741b47;"&gt;5.

I am thankful that I am brave, it takes courage to pursue my gift.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #741b47;"&gt;9.

&amp;nbsp;(PICTURE TO COME).&amp;nbsp; The show is grouped according to the inspiration writing piece, seeing all the different interpretations, how they differ and how they are similar is just awesome!&amp;nbsp; This idea can work in reverse as well, the artwork serving as an inspiration to the artist.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;I received this piece by Amy Souza, co-curator and the founder of SPARK.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;Every Angel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;By Amy Souza&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;Every angel is terrible. They like to remind us who we are, who we’ve been, show us who we might become if we could muster the energy to try again. For this we hate them, because part of our nature is not wanting to know the truth even as we seek it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;Define them as you will: heavenly creatures, ghouls from the depths, figments of an imagination poisoned by church-fed guilt. Angels exist, and they’re out to get you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;Don’t believe me? What about that time walking toward the park, when you stepped right over the legs of a greasy man slumped along a painted wall? The kind of man you normally don’t notice, but the deep blue façade made you look. You thought, he’s drowning and he doesn’t even know how to swim. Remember the tiny pricks that crept up the nape of your neck as you kept walking? How your breath quickened and suddenly you felt transported to the room where, ten years earlier, you’d looked your withered father in the eye and said, No I did not come home to help you? You flinched at the sound of that girl’s voice, spiteful and small. Tried to erase the image as you jaywalked across the avenue. You wondered why the scene came to you, blamed randomly firing neurons, as if science could deliver all mystery to its rightful place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;Yes, I’m saying that man was one. What he looked like is incidental. You maintained stride, pushed away the unknowns, but he’ll return. They are quick to disguise, angels, which makes sense. They &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;couldn’t do their work otherwise.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;Copyright 2011 Amy Souza&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.getsparked.org/share/"&gt;http://www.getsparked.org/share/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;My Response:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Angels in the Garden&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Mixed Media&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="314" kca="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kmW1veMV4Ac/TpT86AoYouI/AAAAAAAAAj4/DnzvBSsAfpg/s320/Angels+in+the+Garden+cropped.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;NEW WORK!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-28DUYh6MnFQ/TpT1ms2x-KI/AAAAAAAAAjA/FUlszrGAWa8/s1600/oval+flowers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" kca="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-28DUYh6MnFQ/TpT1ms2x-KI/AAAAAAAAAjA/FUlszrGAWa8/s200/oval+flowers.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Layering has become an obsession.&amp;nbsp; I have begun looking at everything in my world in a new light.&amp;nbsp; "Can I use this to print with?"&amp;nbsp; "How can I use that&amp;nbsp;in a painting in an interesting way?"&amp;nbsp; I was waiting in the cutting line at the local art/craft store and caught a glimpse of this embroidery hoop.

I use so much fabric in my work, it's time I start to dye my own, and figure out how to personalize it a bit more! This attempt was semi-successful.

I had the whole evening to myself, and had a great time creating and watching the Bachelor finale! Having these letters that needed to be worked on, I treated the surface as I have been treating my canvases.&amp;nbsp; What a blast! I think I would like to do more of these letters for children's gifts.&amp;nbsp; I also tried using distress ink on them to create a finished look, and was very pleased with the results.&amp;nbsp; I'm still working on photographing, and finding something that works best for the work I'm creating.&amp;nbsp; When I get there- updating my etsy site will be next on my list.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;The most exciting idea of the day, is a collaboration project my cousin and friend are going to work on! We also created a blog zipcodespark.blogspot.com, to use to track our progress and document our work.&amp;nbsp; The blog is up, but hasn't been posted too yet, that will come.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I took some pictures from around my studio.&amp;nbsp; Brandon and I are working on creating an organized space that works for me.&amp;nbsp; I think we are going to need to buy some shelves.&amp;nbsp; I should start posting before and after photos.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spring is in the air!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-pB-bK_BRaCE/TX7XVrc4RAI/AAAAAAAAAfs/UkUnS23P9wI/s1600/home+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="230" q6="true" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-pB-bK_BRaCE/TX7XVrc4RAI/AAAAAAAAAfs/UkUnS23P9wI/s320/home+1.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-XeeN4xQMV-o/TX7XaIu3g4I/AAAAAAAAAfw/d-mRTtFW_Uc/s1600/brushes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" q6="true" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-XeeN4xQMV-o/TX7XaIu3g4I/AAAAAAAAAfw/d-mRTtFW_Uc/s320/brushes.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-3yRDtAxKtt4/TX7XePnGJZI/AAAAAAAAAf0/CIauNlEsR3I/s1600/sewing+supplies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" q6="true" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-3yRDtAxKtt4/TX7XePnGJZI/AAAAAAAAAf0/CIauNlEsR3I/s320/sewing+supplies.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-KwDMoCmntRc/TX7XNdjG0sI/AAAAAAAAAfk/YCdrLeCYfrg/s1600/paint.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="212" q6="true" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-KwDMoCmntRc/TX7XNdjG0sI/AAAAAAAAAfk/YCdrLeCYfrg/s320/paint.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-wSM7olWOgos/TX7XRgb1ZlI/AAAAAAAAAfo/8rTbBU2PvM0/s1600/honeycomb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" q6="true" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-wSM7olWOgos/TX7XRgb1ZlI/AAAAAAAAAfo/8rTbBU2PvM0/s320/honeycomb.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;This is a honeycomb I found on the ground yesterday while helping with some lawn work.

I think they are getting it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a fabulous place to come and work everyday! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2970811239347764999-7043857109647256786?l=amandawrightart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://amandawrightart.blogspot.com/feeds/7043857109647256786/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2970811239347764999&amp;postID=7043857109647256786' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2970811239347764999/posts/default/7043857109647256786'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2970811239347764999/posts/default/7043857109647256786'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://amandawrightart.blogspot.com/2011/03/artist-trading-cards.html' title='Artist Trading Cards'/><author><name>Amanda R.

It's all a bit intimidating, as I'm not a writer but always feel awesome after I do write down something that is going on in my head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I started today, Ash Wednesday by just writing down my goals. After talking with a good friend this morning about what to "give up". She told me about what a preacher she had listened to once said, instead of giving something up, add something positive to your day.

Although I dyed my hands black last night at midnight by adhering the tissue paper with water and wet acrylic paint, I'm very excited about the texture it can create. I'm working on coming up with pieces that reflect a submission due in April for the Somerset Studio magazine. The theme is to be inspired by Alfred Hitchcock.

I'm so inspired and in awe of artists who use portraits in their work, and I have always avoided it, unless it was required for an assignment. I realized this is a bit ridiculous, considering I ask my students to self-portraits all the time. The older they get a bit of fear begins to show on their face. At some point as a child we lose that ability to just let loose and have fun! We talk about how things "don't have to be perfect" daily in my classroom, so I figured I should just take my own advice and "go for it!" and have fun. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I started going through a ton of scrapbook patterned paper I have, and found a sheet that was covered in inspirational quotes and sayings. I am thinking of adding text into this piece with a possible image transfer, or hand painted lettering. Here is where I am so far! Can't wait to return home from work tomorrow and continue working on it!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2970811239347764999-4577586885688684714?l=amandawrightart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://amandawrightart.blogspot.com/feeds/4577586885688684714/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2970811239347764999&amp;postID=4577586885688684714' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2970811239347764999/posts/default/4577586885688684714'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2970811239347764999/posts/default/4577586885688684714'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://amandawrightart.blogspot.com/2011/02/back-to-work.html' title='Back to work'/><author><name>Amanda R.

I have been using gel medium and creating multiple layers. These have been fun and free! After reading some books on different ways to create interesting background texture and images, I couldn't wait to begin trying them. For this piece I began with a blended green acrylic background. Then began adding other cool colors with a palette knife and various brushes. The birds in this piece were a "happy accident". I wanted to do an image transfer with a toner image copy, I had created using photo editing programs. The tranfer wasn't successful and I pulled the whole piece of paper off. What was left was the outline of the bird and I accented this using gel medium, and it became the inspiration for the rest of the piece.&lt;br /&gt;Working on this 16x20 canvas I realized I want to work larger than this and begin experimenting with interesting shapes.&lt;br /&gt;Maybe start stretching my own canvas again, and experiment with different gessos. These two pieces have also inspired me to begin working on blogging and sharing my work with others. It's so easy to get lost in the shuffle of everyday life.

The idea is to push yourself out of your comfort zone as an artist. I have been focusing my work lately much on the idea of color and organic images. I decided to scan in a figure drawing done in class, and collage over it using matte medium, black acrylic paint and religious iconic images. I chose to create the entire piece in black and white. I would like to bring some of this back into my other work, and again start incorporating some religious imagery.

The contrast that you are able to achieve by using a digital negative and the sun as your &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;processor&lt;/span&gt; is just amazing. I have done many more cyanotypes, however these are my favorites.  I am interested in doing more portraits using this method, I love the way the skin tones expose. They are also &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;challenging&lt;/span&gt; as to not wash out the hightlights of the entire face.
