HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 SHANA TOVA - HAPPY ROSH HASHANAH




September is the beginning of one of my holidays - a wonderful philosophy for a "Fresh Start".

Our Holidays sees G-d write us into The Book Of Life for yet, another year.  We all hope we are worthy of this privilege. :)

I've used an image from IKE, of IKESWORLDCHALLENGEBLOG.BLOGSPOT.COM.  

This month I returned to IKE'S CHALLENGE as one of the Designers for IKE'S incredible art.  Her sketches are some of my favorites to use to dream up a creation.

This is new for me - to stick to my Style - ACRYLIC POUR - and to find ways to integrate IKE'S wonderful digital images on to, or into the POUR.  I am up for the challenge!

I've used IKE'S MEZUZA SERIES - a TORAH specifically, which is a Hebrew Bible written on a piece of parchment and placed inside of the ORNATE TORAH, and rolled out and read during The Rosh Hashanah Service.

If you have any questions about technique, or products used, please click the 3 dashes at the top left of this page and email me.  I'd be happy to answer anything, and share what I have learned along the way in the Acrylic Pour process, where I found my main inspiration and (free) lessons, and how exactly I created this piece.

Be Blessed Always,

Samara

  BEACHING IT!   The Ocean Series 💧Who doesn't love the look of a rolling ocean, 💧 a tide washing up 💧or waves crashing on the sand? This Ocean Series idea was developed with a brand of pigments (powdered paint) called This Little Piggy Pigments , from their first Anniversary Party.  This Little Piggy Pigments are rich and bold, or soft and sparkly, or romantic and dreamy - whatever look you are going for.  The best part - they last forever - very little pigment (with added Pouring Medium) needed for each pour.   SheleeArt hosted a party of some of Shelee's fav Artists on You Tube, all creating The Beach Theme.    I've been creating Galaxy Series and Ocean Series for the past 2 years, simply because they display my favourite colors and Earth Element.  It was so inspiring seeing other Artist's take on creating an Acrylic Pour Beach Scene.   Because of the substrate, techniques, tools, surfaces available to use, the series...

HOLIDAY CHEER WITH A FEATHER OR TWO

Raven Poe, from IKE'S digis makes an appearance in this Festive Feathery piece. I used Amsterdam Paints, mixed with Floetral and water for this Pour.  When I was done, I wasn't happy with it, so mixed up some Colourarte Pigments, with triple mix varathane and minwax and used the deep red in order to jazz the piece up. Under this piece is a rather thin layer of white house paint - just a generic paint bought at Home Depot.  I did not use Glidden for this, as it didn't start out to be a Pigment Pour, for which thicker paint works best.  Please email me if you have any questions re mixtures etc. You can see POE and other artist's renditions of Feathers on IKESWORLDCHALLENGEBLOG. Be Blessed Always, Samara For a better look at IKE'S digi...

HAPPY SPOOKY HALLOWEEN

Acrylic Pour with IKE'S wonderful "Spooky House". To give a bit of dimension (it is a challenge with a 2 D on a 3D) I cut out the windows of the Spooky House.  I think it works to show the bright colors underneath, without losing the design of the Pour. For this Pour I used a combo of Liquitex Basics Paint, mixed with Floetral and water, and Colourarte Pigments, mixed with triple mix verathane and minwax.  Please email me if you want more specifics (measurements etc.) It has been an interesting venture attempting to combine my art with IKE'S great digis, in order to return to design for IKE'S WORLD CHALLENGE BLOG. I'd have to say I am up for this challenge! Be Blessed Always, Samara For a better look at IKE'S DIGI - Spooky House...
