Altered Art Expressions has become RHINESTONE TEES AND MORE. I have always been "crafty" and i have taken a new turn in that field. I fell in love with rhinestones and love working with them. It gives me time to think as I place each stone.
I have also love sublimation printing on various items. I hope you enjoy my new journey into another aspect of the "arts".

The food was great but nothing could top the fun and conversation that we all shared!! I was in heaven!
Here is my grand daughter Kennedy that I take walks with. She is catching on to finding things for grandma's art. At the age of two I think we have a mixed media artist in BLOOM! LOL!
Our new group The Latest Trends in Mixed Media Arts has a challenge this month where you have to use either texture, 3-D paste, or molding paste - either a brass or plastic stencil, or a rubber stamp, any type of paint, any color palette, and you can add one found object and one other thing of your choice. Well, since I can't officially participate in the challenge I just had to try it! I used molding paste on a 5x7 canvas, pressed a leaf from one of the trees that we have here in the backyard, I then applied a yellow glaze, and then sprayed it with Ranger's color wash. I applied some brown polish to some of the areas to make the leaf stand out more and then used different colors of rub and buff. I used the "found" rusted safety pin that I gathered today and added some beads to it. I had fun with this!
Now that the weather is a little bit cooler here in Las Vegas I can take my grand daughter for walks in the neighborhood. She loves it and so do I. Today we only walked a couple of small blocks and in that short distance I found all these things either in the street or on a lawn. Ah... rusted bottle caps, rusted safety pins, a nail, pieces of metal that I have no clue what they are. Even a game piece! WOW! Now Mondays and Thursday are garbage days so I think that I will be walking with my son when he takes the dog for her nightly walk. There were all kinds of things out on Sunday but my daughter would have thrown me out! LOL! She just does not get it. Oh well.
Talk about the best ART time
