A great deal of experimentation goes into finding your path as an artist. Because I do have the good fortune of making money commercially as a designer, I always have a lot of scraps of various projects laying around. When I have the time, I make little mini pieces of art.
...not much thought goes into these...just slap it down and move on!! And yes, those are rolodex cards. Many artists gravitate towards the metal vintage rolodex to display their small pieces of art. These are small steps that I can take in a busy schedule.
A favorite phrase of mine has been
"How hard can it be?"
Well. Sometimes pretty hard. This new direction for Catberry Tails has been a huge undertaking and it's important to remember that small steps add up. They can add up to BIG changes. Or as the Chairman says:
"You created me. And. I. Am. Awesome."
I pulled this artwork out to review because many of these experiments led to painting large on fabric and creating the Chairman and his community. Which is a big change for me!
Repeat after me:
Small Steps Big Changes

Oh, Oh, I love these! I took a class on ATC's (Artist Trading Cards) a couple of years of go and just loved it. Being a quilter, I also had way too many scraps of fabric and found this to be a great way to use up some of those and be creative on a small scale at the same time. Now I finely have a way to use up all those Rolodex cards I have hanging around. AND what a great way to display your small art collection by putting them back in the card holder they came out of. Thank you Kreatrix!

Post authorGlad you like the rolodex art! It's fun to display the vintage metal rolodex in my office. Nice conversation piece!

Darn! I saw one of those old rolodex things - a metal one - at a garage sale a month ago. Hubs and I laughed over it. Wish I'd bought it now! I love what you've done with these.
