I have decided that as an artist I am really, really, good at seeing what is there and freezing tiny moments in time. Sometimes I feel like that isn't very interesting and I want to create my own original art, that only comes my my hands and brain.

The trouble is, that when I try to create new things, I sometimes feel very frustrated that they don't look "real" enough. Probably the photojournalist in me. I am now trying something new. I found a very  cool artist on Instagram: Mirahroelfscollages. Look her up if you want. I will tell you more about her on Sunday, I am going to meet her and have her sign some of the art of bought from Society6.

She like her name says she makes collages. I thought I would try to make a collage too.

Remember my paintings from the other day?

Well, they were turned into these works in progress:

I also painted some skulls, you know how much I love skulls!

This one actually looks pretty cool.... huh....

Well, there you go.... some art by me.... that isn't a photograph or a crane. I am feeling pretty good about it, it may not be the most awesome stuff but it is fun to be creative in other ways too!

Hope you have a good night!

Here is me painting the shelf Shane made (I think Joel helped a tiny bit, he probably held the tools.....)

This helpful spider was inspecting my paint job. (I actually didn't see it until after I took the photo.)

Why would I say clean?!

You might be wondering what the shelf if for..... well I will let you know that is is a new shelf for the birds to sit on. They need some where a little higher up. Now, you are probably wondering why they would need to be higher up.... Well, that is a surprise for the end of the month!

And I also learned that if you take a photo of a spider web, in the dark, with a flash, it looks pretty cool.... I'm not sure why I never thought of that before.....

(Not a web from the inspector spider, I think that one is some kind of hunting spider.))

Have a great night!
