Greetings! I am so glad you found me. My name is jean and I was born with a crayon in my hand. I can't tell you how many times I was reminded not to draw on the walls in my room and the hallway in the house. I will admit that I even drew on the bathroom wall at school. I was always drawing and coloring, While the other children were playing with Barbie dolls and dressing them. I was drawing my dolls and cutting them out, then I would design clothes for them I was only happy when I was designing and playing with my dolls. As I matured I started filling notebooks with sketches. If I was inspired by something, I would sit and write down colors that I liked and return to draw an outfit. Every doll was different and named. I also gave the doll a birthday. This was on the day the doll was designed. I had a cardboard box and each doll was wrapped in tissue paper. These dolls were my life. I never allowed the other children to touch them. or play with them. I find happiness and a sense of well being when I create my art. My hobbies also include fiber art, collage, victorian art, altered dooks, art journals, rubber stamping and scrapbooking. macrame, domino jewerly, crochet, stone rubbings,and much more. These are just a few of the many things I do. If it has been done...I have done it. I have plans to write a book about my paper art dolls. I will complete the book in the future. I love meeting other artists who make paper art dolls. I love to be different. And have a motto I repeat often ... "dare to be different!" Never think you have to follow in someone elses foot steps. Never hide your art because you do not think it is good enough. Show it off. Art is made to hang on the wall and to be showed off. *I can't wait to get my art out of the box and show my pride and joys off. I express just who I am through my art work. I design differently every day. And my moods reflect this. It is like magic to me and I never have artist block. Sometimes I will have 5 projects started and will finish each one. I have never started a piece of art and tossed it in a pile. My art means too much to me. Hope you enjoyed your visit. And ...dare to be different...very different!

I have been rubber stamping for 25 years and have learned alot and have mingled into everything related to stamping. Though a rubber stamp ink blot is usually made using an ink pad and rubber stamps, you can have many styles when you stamp. Maybe you like flowers or birds or just use word stamps to make a card or a tag. I have ventured into this unexplored area and find it is my muse.
Rubber Stamp Ink Blotting allows you to step out of the “box” and explore your natural creativity like we once had as a child learning to hold a crayon. It is an easy process if you want to take the time and learn. I taught myself by experimenting with “shapes”. I wanted “movement” in my art and I am still trying to find this in inkings.
Not one of my ink blots are the same. I do not start by planning what I want to design, they just flow freely onto the paper by positioning images onto paper using different angles —no rules are needed. Just like making an abstract painting, it cannot be easily explained or taught.
I am a self taught mixed media artist. I like designing zines, ATCs, art journals, cards, mingle in vintage, grunge, pop art, abstract and artsy styles. I am considered a mood artist.
I have found a safe haven in art that no one else can disturb. It is a creative outlet that allows me to be myself through this filterless process. No restraints present; the fluid just flows in the neon liquid pool that produces waves of natural vibrations. And I usually don’t title my work not to take the mystery out of it.
How do I design? With an open mind and an imagination! And if the art doesn’t have wings… I just add them!
Artfully, Jean.

LOVE BEADS
LOVE BEADS:
Love beads colors each have a meaning.
Love beads have been around since the 1960s and can be made from a variety of
plastic, glass, wooden or crystal beads. They usually are long, multicolor strands
worn on as a bracelet, necklace, anklet or belt. While the bead colors are thought
to be symbolic of certain emotions and attributes, the connection between the
colors and their meanings is not limited to love beads. Colors are thought to have
specific meanings throughout the art of beading and jewelry making.
Purple
The color purple is a powerful color symbolizing self-respect and inner power. It
also is associated with spirituality and eases mental and emotional stress,
according to the Beading Design Jewelry website. It signifies wisdom, dignity and
independence and and often is worn by creative people and those with an
adventurous heart and spirit.
Blue
Blue is the color of the sky and the sea and represents tranquility and peace. Blue
is by people with a tender heart who appreciate the creative aspects of music and
art, the Beading Design Jewelry website explains . Blue also is beneficial in
promoting inspiration and hope; darker hues represent strength and authority.
Green
Green is the color of Mother Nature and the plants and trees. As such, it associated
with growth, fertility and birth. It also can represent stability and harmony. It's
connection to nature makes green a color associated with healing, love and
compassion. Since green is the color of money, it can represent financial
prosperity.
Pink
Pink is associated with love and as such is the ideal color for love beads. While
both pink and red represent love, pink is associated more closely with romance
while red more in tune with physical passion, according to the Beading Design
Jewelry website. Pink is worn by people with a tender heart who want to heal from
grief or depression. Pink also denotes innocence, youth and femininity.

POP ART CLASS "INTRODUCTION"
I N T R O D U C T I O N'S A N D T O S S I N G T H E S A L A D.
1960-1970's
POP ART!
Ok, here we go....Pop Art....have you ever designed in this style? Well if you
haven't let your self go and try out this wonderful world of bright colors...shapes
and new ways to express yourself. I am a POP ART QUEEN
and want to share just
what I have found the happiest days of my life.....designing and dressing the :pop
art style.
First I would like to mention a favorite singer of mine: James Tayler...He is
Rock/Pop. Hey baby I'm your handy man! I'm handy with love and I'm no fool...If
your broken heart needs repair then I'm the man...you get it!! LOL
Some music will rock you into the beat and soon you will be moving and add some
waves to your art and some bright sunshine!
I'm bust 24 hours a day...yea, I'm your handy man.
here is what I would like you to do: Grab some lined paper or blank and a ruler.
a pencil and a black sharpie/bic/ what ever you use. I don't want anyone to buy
anything they don't need. Pop are is a way of thinking....keep this in mind as you
read the details I am tossing out to you.
This style is about taking another adventure and if you are a newbie at this style
you will have lots of fun and then add the techniques to your own style. It's about
having a bunch of wild flowers all various types but "COLOR"S" mixed up to POP
at you...An exmple is M&M's and kiddles.....YUMMY.
Pop Art requires you to look at an ordinary things in an extraordinary way. The
statements are BOLD, Personal and Political . Take your ELEMENT'S of Art and
real images of life and fuse them together.
Anyone remember punky Brewster? One Hot Pink High Top Sneaker and a
checkered one on the other foot. She also did this with her socks.
Pulling out words: Hot Pink, Checkered Pattern. M&M'S, Kiddles. Words, Personal,
***FRUIT LOOPS CEREAL, JELLY BEANS. etc.
Political. Mixing up...no matching.
What is a POLITICAL STATEMENT? A few examples: A PEASE SIGN, WEARING RED WHITE AND
BLUE ON THE 4th. of JULY. WEARING A BADGE that has a political figure on it. A T-shirt that says VOTE FOR......... You get it! LOL
In Canada what would be a POLITICAL STATEMENT?
In EUROPE: ?
Where are you from? Add your politial statement's in your Country?
Please add....I am very interested. Thanks, Jean
