Online Art Sale: Support Civil Liberties Through Art

Hope: 8 x 8" $75

It's time for another online art sale to support tolerance and peace.   Last month, I was able to donate $300 to the Southern Poverty Law Center, through sales of original art and prints.  Let's see if we can do it again!  All proceeds go to the SPLC, dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry and to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of our society. Using litigation, education, and other forms of advocacy, the SPLC works toward the day when the ideals of equal justice and equal opportunity will be a reality.

"Embark" - 10 x 10" $125

Offered for sale - these paintings of lotus flowers.  The lotus is an exquisite flower that grows in ponds, creeks, and muddy waters, with exquisite blooms that defy the "muck" below.  It is a beautiful symbol of persistence and emerging from difficulties, against all odds.  Each is on gallery wrapped canvas, and ready to hang.  They are made mixed media, lots of texture, and love. Prices include shipping and handling anywhere in the world.

Dreams: 8 x 8" $75

Inspiration: 10 x 10" $125

Discover: 10 x 10" 125

Imperfection 8 x 8" $75

How to: Resist Technique - Creative Team Thursday with Emma Tildesley

Hi it’s Emma again!

So, in my second tutorial for Jessica Sporn Designs Creative Team, I decided to share one of my favorite techniques with you using the Lacy Lotus Repeat Stencil.  

It's a simple resist technique, but one that I really enjoy, which adds a wonderful resist effect background for your art journal pages.








I hope that you enjoy this video!  You can watch it on YouTube and while you’re there, go and have a peek at the other creative team members fabulous tutorials. 

This is just one of a range of many beautiful stencils and stamps that Jessica designs, so be sure to take a look.

See you next time!
