Thank you for visiting my art blog! I am an artist in southern California, and this blog is about my journey into art. My art is mixed media original art, and very often my vehicle for sharing is a greeting card. I paint and ink and stamp and rip and shred and glue and emboss, but no designer paper is harmed in the making of my collages. It all starts with blank paper.

Catching Attention

What better way to draw attention to a poster displayed at an event booth than to include original artwork.  That was the idea behind adding some art cards and bling to this pre-printed poster.  And it was lots of fun to assemble too, since I worked with my client to position everything one afternoon, after all the cards were made up.  Now she can say she helped create it. :)

My client had some great feedback at the event where she first displayed this poster.  She said people were drawn to it because it had 3D embellishments and artwork, rather than just being a computer generated poster.  Our next project will be to collaborate on a kid-created poster with the same art card idea, which would certainly be an attention-getter as well.
