<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">For the
background, I used </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">a collage of </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">randomly torn pages from a Mythology book which I saved from
being thrown away – I upcycled it for a good purpose.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; line-height: normal; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">I also
used a photo from the same book, showing a figure which seems to say
"It'll be OK", very confidently.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">It's directing
the way to a one-way-ticket destination, leading to a positive and optimistic
ending of the road, which goes along with the Sentiment.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">The hand-written Sentiment

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I've created this painting for a specific occasion, and as it sometimes happens - it turned out different than I expected, due to many changes during the process of working on it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I've
used so many stencils, stamps, and the DecoArt Media line products - so many layers of different colors, I can't start listing them but I hope you can see under the surface that each part was colored quite a few times...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I also used various inks
and a white gel pen.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">First, I colored all of the 24x24 inches (60x60
cms) canvas in black, and then I started layering it with various acrylic
paints until I was satisfied with the background of each section.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">All the outlines and contours were freehand
drawn using a white gel pen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">You can easily notice each stencil and stamp I
used, but I'll give you a list if you insist…</span></div>

many people have different interpretations to what I've painted, and that also
changed during the process, I'll leave it to you to tell me what you see in
there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

are so many details, large and small figures, various themes which all connect
to a main one. Yet, apparently, each viewer sees it differently, and has
another point of view than mine (which is fine by me).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">To create your
own background page, all you need is several different stamps and several ink
pads in various colors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">You start by
choosing one stamp, stamping it randomly here and there on your page, using one
ink color.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Then you do the
same thing again, using another stamp and another ink color every time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">You stamp all
over the page, in the gaps between the already stamped images, until you're happy
with the result – a background page uniquely created by you!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Now you can cut
pieces of your page and use them for backgrounds, to create any card or art
project you desire... a unique one.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I used
a Basic Grey paper in Christmas colors to make the bookmark – only folds, no
glue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Then
I stamped the bookmark itself, using VersaFine Onyx Black ink, with 2 small leaves
out of the <a href="http://designsbyryn.com/index.php/shop1/#!/Ornate-Leaf-Set/p/28615679/category=2523274">Ornate
Leaf Set</a><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I also
used a manila CS, making a background using the <a href="http://designsbyryn.com/index.php/shop1/#!/Floral-Spirals/p/38507311/category=10146045">Floral
Spirals</a> stencil, colored by mustard seed Distress ink.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Then
I stamped more leaves on the manila CS, and cut them carefully.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
glued 2 leaves on top of the bookmark with double sided foam tape… Done!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Here's another Michael
Strong card in shades of green, using the </span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><a href="http://www.strongstamps.com/catalog-rubber-stamps-supplies/stamp360-owl-stamp-set.htm"><span style="color: #666666;">Whimsical Owls stamp set</span></a></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I colored the Owl using
ProMarkers, and glued it 3D to add some dimension.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The background was
embossed with numbers, then colored and edged using Ranger Distress Inks.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I framed the dark green
CS with faux stitches, using a white gel pen.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The leaves are a die cut.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The pearls enhance the
Owl's eyes and also draw the corners, and - of course - add some glam.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I added Washi Tape with musical

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In
my city, Ramat HaSharon, there's a very active art scene.</span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Many
exhibitions are open to the public, giving the artists a stage to show their
artwork, and enabling the public to get to know them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Every
year there's an Open Studio event, where chosen artists open their home or
studio and let people in, so their work is exposed to the public. It's a
celebration of color, texture and inspiration, along with a special way of
meeting people, making ART accessible to everybody.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Every
few months, a new outdoor exhibition is being opened. It's either showing works
of one or two artists, or (usually) it's an eclectic exhibition showing chosen works
of several dozen artists from Ramat HaSharon, with a specific subject they need
to work on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Last
September, the subject was "10 years to the Open Studio event".<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
participated in that exhibition, and my work was dedicated to the subject.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
background of the canvas was layered with pieces of a map of Ramat HaSharon, and
I was randomly mixing the neighborhoods and the streets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
buildings and the private houses both exist in my city. They were cut out of white,
kraft and colorful CS, as artists are versatile and colorful people. They were glued
3D for extra dimension. They stand for the artists' homes, which were open for
public visits every year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Tim Holtz Weathered Clock die</span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span class="apple-converted-space">,

on a more personal note… I usually don't share my private life here, but this
is a serious matter and can't be ignored.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">That
former outdoor exhibition was opened on September 27<sup>th</sup>, 2013.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A
week after that, on October 3<sup>rd</sup>, my beloved husband Mickey passed
away. He left a huge void in my heart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">He
was the love of my life, he was the wind under my wings, and he definitely was my
best friend for more than 26 years. He always supported my creativity
(including hoarding stuff!) and he was very proud of me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
haven't been able to create anything for months afterwards, and only recently I
got my MOJO back - I'm thankful for that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A
new outdoor exhibition will be opened tomorrow, on Israel's Independence Day.
One of my works will be there. I wish Mickey could be there, too. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
know he would have wanted me to go on with my life, to be creative and to
strive for happiness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">After

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For
a very long period of time I've been engaged with family duties, unfortunately
very unhappy ones. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">During
this time I rarely created anything, and as much as I wanted to, I couldn't
find peace of mind and passion to create. My blog has also been neglected. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I cut the 12x12 CS for the 3D cube, which turned out about 3.8x3.8 inches (9.5x9.5
cms), and left margins to glue the parts together. Please let me know if you're

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
added Polka Dot Paper Tape in 3 color patterns all around the cube's connections

<span style="font-family: Arial;">From the outside the card seems subtle,
yet rich in details: the embossed cranes in 2 sizes, the background papers, the
faux stitches and the colorful blings in various sizes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">But the inside reveals a whole bunch of
cranes in white and turquoise - all embossed in gold - bursting in flight.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: justify; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I layered the background papers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; text-align: justify; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">You can see that inside the card, the patterned paper
was cut to create a shelf, onto which the Cranes were adhered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">All the Cranes - 10 of them! - were
stamped on white and turquoise CS, heat embossed with gold EP and cut with
scissors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">On the outside, the Cranes were glued 3D
for extra dimension.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In the inside, they were glued onto the
background, on the shelf and to each other, to create a sense of motion and
flight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I used the white Gel pen to frame the
patterned paper, both inside and outside the card, with faux stitches.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I left some space at the lower part of
the card to add a sentiment or greeting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">I added blings </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: HE; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">in various sizes and colors, to add some glam.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">I also added tiny clear blings for the
Cranes eyes (outside).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The sentiment "<strong>If I had three wishes … my first would be for you</strong>" was printed on white paper, which was adhered to bright yellow CS punched using the EKSuccess - Dotted Wave Edger Punch.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">To create the basic background, I colored the canvas using acrylic paints - </span><span style="color: black;">black, green, light blue, red and yellow.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The coloring was meant to cover the canvas. Most of it will be covered later so the design wasn't important.</span><span style="color: black;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I left the edges of the canvas white on purpose, as I later covered them with Washi Tape with colorful bubbles all over it.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The bubbles fit into the sea (water) theme, and their bright colors add a vivid frame to the canvas.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then I added the background sea themed paper, which was cut out of a magazine. It seems to fit here perfectly.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I added 2 </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">stripes of Washi Tape - blue with white stripes and red dots, to match the sea waves and to coordinate with the other colors.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you can see, all the stamped images were glued 3D for extra dimension.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each stamped image was treated differently.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Flower, which functions here as the sun, was stamped on white CS using VersaFine ink - Vintage Sepia, and was colored with ProMarkers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I accented its inner circle using yellow Stickles, then I added a red gem and golden metal large brad to complete its hot, sunny appearance.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I stamped the Fish using Embossing ink on orange CS, then heat embossed it with orange EP. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I carefully cut it with scissors, and added a tiny turquoise bling as its eye.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="direction: ltr; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; unicode-bidi: embed;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also added white <span style="color: black;">sticky back half pearl</span>s, to resemble bubbles coming out of its mouth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I stamped several images of the Shell and the Seastar on Manila CS, using VersaFine ink - Onyx Black.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I covered them with Diamond Glaze to give them a shiny look, and waited for them to dry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I added each one of them a light blue sticky back half pearl, for decoration.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally, I added several blings in various colors and sizes, for extra glam.</span><br />
