Welcome!

Thank you for visiting artful embellishments. This is the third year for this blog and I am so happy to keep publishing. I started in 2011 and began with a quilt of the week, this lead to the leaf of the week for my newly designed paper tree that is located on the wall of my garage in 2012.......2013 is going to bring a lot of excitement and positive change. As a personal challenge for 2013, I plan on designing a artist trading card each week to be featured on the blog.
With so many interests, there will be quilting, art quilting, leaves (and more leaves), as well as experiments in thermofax screen printing, fabric dying, and tons of DIY recycle projects. I may even enter that altered fashion scene. To a happy and healthy 2013, may we all find happiness in those things we create....thank you for stoping by artful embellishments.

Perspective Drawing

 Perspective drawing was the first of our big assignments in Drawing II. We had to have 5 vanishing points and we could use any medium and any subject.

Tom did Detroit with an automotive theme. I just adore his work.
Carly blew me away with the owl and bird house.
 Cassie combined bricks, buildings and books for a neat angle.
Katie did wolves howling out some colorful sound. I swear they are golden retrievers, but then again I can see Golden Retrievers in and ink blot.
 Kendra did an amazing color wheel of columns with a very realistic lion coming right out of the page.
 Dustin is working on an amazing city scape from above!

My take on the anatomy of the human body, distorted into vanishing points. (My favorite is the red blood cell clotted in the capillary.)
Tessa is a whimsical color genius with her bubbles and depiction of camping!


This class will be very fun, and will bring lots of creativity.
