The Gift & New Glass Tile Watercolor Pendants

"The artist is nothing

without the gift, but

the gift is nothing

without the work."

Emile Zola

I can not describe the admiration I have for all the artist out there

working at their craft everyday and using

their artistic gifts.

I appreciate their willingness to

share this piece of their spirit

with this world.

They strive to stay true to themselves and

what they create.

I know God is smiling

down upon them and

saying, "well done child, well done."

Artist are Brave

Artist are Passionate

and they

share who they are in

each piece of art they create. 

I am an artist and the journey is never ending, it took me

along time to put myself out there and believe in myself

as a artistic contributor.

I have taken a leap of faith.

I have been blessed.

I am living the dream God placed upon my heart.

I believe all the roads on this journey have been guided by my creator, God.

He has put wonderful people in my path to encourage me.

He has blessed me with a family who inspires me to follow my

dreams.

He has blessed me with wonderful christian girlfriends

who help me to grow in faith daily.

I want to pass this on to all you artist out there, I believe you

were created to create.

I know this,

 all of the artist out in blog land that I

have had the pleasure of meeting

through blogging, have inspired

me daily.

I want to encourage you to never...never give

up on the dreams in your heart.

Keep the faith,

Lean on your girlfriends,

Lean on your family,

(you only have one)

But most of all lean on the one who

will never leave or forsake you.

LEAN ON GOD

"Fall Colors & Peace"

2009

Although I love the colors of fall I am not crazy about what

comes to follow,

WINTER.

But I have plans to stay busy this winter with

projects and getting my art out there.

I have it in 2 places now and I couldn't

be more excited.

I am also contiplating doing some tuttorials

on my blog....

What do you think?

I use to be a certified demonstrator for Plaid Enterprises,

Folk Art paint, Gallery Glass, Stencils and more.

I also became a certified One Stroke Instructor at

one time.

Any hoo!!!

I am in the process of organizing my thoughts and ideas

so stay tuned.

ANOTHER STROKE OF THE BRUSH..

THE JOURNEY IS ALMOST OVER....

(the Bible study)

But, what I know IS the journey is never over...

Life is a journey!

Art is a journey!

&

Relationships are journey's!

The Key is knowing you are not alone.

What I have learned on the Bible Study

The Ultimate Journey

is this....

God loves his children.

God wants a relationship with his children.

God can and will fill us with his love, he will

nurture us and guide us.

He talks to us through his Words.

Only when we truly know and believe in this

LOVE (His Love) can we reflect this love onto everything

and everyone around us.

"I am the vine; your are the branches.

If any remains in me and I remain in them,

they produce much fruit;

 But without me that can do nothing."

John 15:5

When we are in the word and not of this world,

when we obey his commands and continue to

follow his teachings, it is then we will

find true love, peace and joy.

This fall...

Fall on your knees and allow God to

meet all your needs in His perfect timing.

Many Blessings, Deborah



Little artist where are you???Updated... Boobs on a Pillow Bras for A Cause

Okay ALL you artist out there.

Do you ever feel like

the little artist in you

won't come out to play?

It is like I am Lost and can't tap

into my inner creativity.

A Road Block...

A Dry Spell...

My hands are not my own...

I can't even hold onto a brush.

Well that is where I was for the last few weeks!

I thought things like...

I have lost it...

I am not a real artist.

What does God want me to do?

"But if from there you seek the
Lord your God,

you will find him if you look for him

with all you heart and with

ALL YOUR SOUL."

Deuteronomy 4:29 NIV

Isn't God's word Good!

WOOT WOOT!

Any hoooo!!!

I am back into the swing of things...

Yesterday I painted a tee shirt for

a class I am giving.....

I thought maybe if I am a walking billboard

Maybe someone will

take a class from me at the

Left Bank Studio.

TELL ME....

What do you do when your Little Artist

won't come out to PLAY!!!

I hope you'll share..

I thought I needed an art day out to get inspired...

But all I got was overload and spinning wheels

in my head.

I want to be true to myself. I want to make that

connection to my spirit and find my own

unique style or brand.

So sometimes

when I look to others for inspiration,

I get creative overload....

Sooo many idea's I can't sleep...

Does this happen to anyone else?

ANOTHER STROKE OF THE BRUSH...

I am also working on a bra for

Bras For The Cause

These will be actioned off

to raise money for

Breast Cancer Awareness...

and mammograms for women

who can't afford them.

I thought I would share...

The Title is...

"Fluff Your Pillows Monthly"
SELF EXAMINATION...
What do you think?
Boobs on a Canvas Pillow
Paint Bra...

 Well I will keep it short and sweet

because I have lots of work to do...

the bra is due Friday...

Everyone have a beautiful and blessed

day!

I will keep on creating and Praising

God who has Blessed me with the gift of

artistic creativity!

MANY BLESSINGS, DEBORAH
