Here's what the display looked like in the middle of the Ranger booth (I snagged these pics from the Ranger blog):<\/p>\n
First up is mine:<\/p>\n I used a lot of my custom paint sprays (I mix my paint with some water in a mister and magic happens!) and my new masks.<\/p>\n Next up, Tim Holtz<\/a>:<\/p>\n I love how Tim's is a piece of true assemblage art. He is such a master at combining objects in fascinating ways! I especially love the paint brush at the bottom. So cool, a visual feast.<\/p>\n Next up: Dyan Reaveley<\/a><\/p>\n Dyan is a master of doodling, and this piece proves that. It must have taken ages to do all that decorative writing. I love how the colors pop against the black. Love it!<\/p>\n Next up: Wendy Vecchi<\/a><\/p>\n Aargh, so sorry for the blurry pics. Do check the Ranger blog link above for better pics. Wendy's is delightful. I love how she used the birdies from Scribbly Birds. I wish you could see the dimension in the flower and leaves, it's really stunning! And how genius is the clipboard?<\/p>\n Next up: Tammy Tutterow<\/a><\/p>\n Next up: Debbie Tlach<\/a><\/p>\n Debbie's piece is a portrait of her little kitty. I love the blue and orange (complemetary colors) and he just looks so sweet. She has really captured him well. Don't you think she could go into business creating portraits like this? So fun!<\/p>\n Next up: Lisa Pace<\/a><\/p>\n Lisa's piece has so many gorgeous layers. I love how she used the heart, both under and on the tag. So beautiful!<\/p>\n Next up: Traci Bautista<\/a><\/p>\n Traci did one of her signature portraits with my acrylic paint. I love how expressive it is, it just oozes energy and joy! So bright and cool.<\/p>\n Next up: May Flaum<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n To appreciate May's piece, you really need to be able to see it from the front and from the sides. There are sooooo many dimensional layers, it's really like a sculpture. So colorful and great!<\/p>\n Next up: Ronda Palazzari<\/a><\/p>\n Ronda's piece is an abstract work of art. Each section has interesting layers and textures. They all work together to create a whole that is really lovely.<\/p>\n Next up: Roben-Marie Smith<\/a><\/p>\n I love the narrative quality of Roben-Marie's piece (and it's so clever how she made a person with my Moon Faces stencil). You look at the piece and you can start interpreting the story, it draws you in and keeps you there. Love it.<\/p>\n Next up: Lorraine Bell<\/a><\/p>\n The analagous colors that Lorraine used in this piece give it such a calm, lovely feeling. The portraits are gorgeous and I love all the details, fab.<\/p>\n Next up: Mou Saha<\/a><\/p>\n This piece has some of my favorite things…color and texture! I love how she made the Affirmations stencil the focal point. Isn't it great? So many cool layers.<\/p>\n Next up: Kate Crane<\/a><\/p>\n I love all the little details and elements on Kate's piece (hello butterflies!). So many great pops of texture, too. Fun!<\/p>\n Next up: Tangie Baxter<\/p>\n Tangie's is another piece that you really need to be able to see from all sides. It is so textural and sculptural! I have to admit I had to reach out and touch the heart in the middle, it is like an artifact waiting to be discovered. Cool stuff.<\/p>\n Next up: Christy Tomlinson<\/a><\/p>\n Ugh, excuse my blurry pic! Christy did one of her signature girls…and get this. All of that pattern and texture is "custom painted paper" that she did herself with my acrylics. How awesome is that!! She is so sweet, love it!<\/p>\n Next up: Shari Carroll<\/a><\/p>\n I love all the layers on Shari's piece, they are luminous. She did the Mod mask in a textural way, too, so it adds such lovely dimension. So pretty, it was practically glowing!<\/p>\n Next up: Jim Hankins<\/a><\/p>\n Speaking of glowing…Jim's piece was literally glowing because it had little lights on it. How cool is that? The picture is terrible (ugh), but I wish you could see the little lights! Plus Jim's piece is sculptural, too. It has many great layers and wire and pops with color. An engineering feat!<\/p>\n Next up: Jennifer McGuire<\/a><\/p>\n How sweet is this? It is SO colorful and just looking at it makes you happy. This would be so cute in a kids' bedroom. Classic and cool.<\/p>\n Next up: Richele Christensen<\/a><\/p>\n Richele's piece is another one that literally glows…that little lantern in the box turns on. Aaah, so cool. I love the paper quilt in her background, and how her layers seem to blend so perfectly. Stunning!<\/p>\n Next up: Paula Cheney<\/a><\/p>\n Paula's piece is pastel perfection. Isn't it great how many looks you can get with my line of paint? You can bright and powerful, and you can get soft and subtle. Paula's piece is vintage pefection.<\/p>\n Next up: Jenny Doh<\/a><\/p>\n Jenny's piece is an expressive, layered painting that highlights her character FangGrrr. Here FangGrrr is playing the cello, and the word says, "Practice." I love how expressive this is, and that it is personal and meaningful…which what good art should be.<\/p>\n Next up: Julie Fei-Fan Balzer<\/a><\/p>\n Julie's piece is so graphic and cool. I was chatting with her at the show and she said she was feeling inspired by Matisse. Can you see the influence? So great, I love it!<\/p>\n Next up: Mystele<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Tammy's is another piece that has lots of great dimension. She used my FAVE bee, too, from Scribbly Insects. Swoon! Love it.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
