Time sure flies, especially when you have little ones! I have been super busy with life in general, as we all are, and I have been missing the 'art' part of my life for much too long. The most creative things I seem to do are with food lately, so here are some pictures of some of the things I have made fairly recently:<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

My life has been very busy (as I know all of yours have been too!) and hasn't left me much time for altered art, but I have made quite a bit of jewelry. I will post some pictures of the pieces soon. I do have some exciting news though about an altered art piece (the one pictured on the left) that I made back in 2008! My buddy Barb put together an amazing 4x4 collaborative book with pieces made by many different artists for a call for Black & White entries in one of the Stampington publications and they will be publishing some of the pieces from the book in the Summer 2010 Somerset Studio Gallery!!! It was quite a surprise when we heard the news since the book was sent in 2008 and we hadn't heard anything about it since then. That's it for now and I promise to be on here again SOON!!! Hope I still have some readers :)</div>artbeth67http://www.blogger.com/profile/01648326810654667407noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38873643.post-9531791834545941472009-10-31T08:16:00.000-07:002009-10-31T08:19:18.029-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXD8vSkqM50O2RlSfuLINv9cGr9XLMPzLFn4PkIyX8KPe_IPSurkov9gKgj4FfBCNcfXizcWORAOLnu5V5oput3AF8eCElCeZUagNlnArDE1V1AW-WDDulOBZDAiKm_uGrHhITNw/s1600-h/oreopop.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398783590074736226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXD8vSkqM50O2RlSfuLINv9cGr9XLMPzLFn4PkIyX8KPe_IPSurkov9gKgj4FfBCNcfXizcWORAOLnu5V5oput3AF8eCElCeZUagNlnArDE1V1AW-WDDulOBZDAiKm_uGrHhITNw/s400/oreopop.jpg" /></a>Made a different version of the popcorn below and this one has a lot of Oreo's in it! :)artbeth67http://www.blogger.com/profile/01648326810654667407noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38873643.post-32244902130758245702009-10-23T17:19:00.000-07:002009-10-23T17:45:34.332-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizG37AGuYz3SPypxpRn5sAr8PUzW_F3E3uyg6t9dT58cK_5xoLsFOywd_X0K_nsw0AO7tGMdWvl8D9IyliHIAA5WEbyIQBsP5OZ_vUoF-FoUKEti1nwsmPPgPho7ZExsMfDjPAVQ/s1600-h/IMG_3497.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395954799453162882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizG37AGuYz3SPypxpRn5sAr8PUzW_F3E3uyg6t9dT58cK_5xoLsFOywd_X0K_nsw0AO7tGMdWvl8D9IyliHIAA5WEbyIQBsP5OZ_vUoF-FoUKEti1nwsmPPgPho7ZExsMfDjPAVQ/s400/IMG_3497.JPG" /></a><br /><div>This is some yummy Halloween Marshmallow Popcorn that I made.

Most of the beads on these two necklaces are from an awesome bead store in Surprise, AZ called Confetti Beads. If you are ever in the area and love beads, you must check them out!

Once it gets warm enough to get the pool out for the girls in the backyard, I should have more time to make art.

The weather here has been so nice lately that we have been going on tons of walks and to lots of parks...basically just having a lot of fun and enjoying the outdoors. I had a little bit of art time with my friend Carmen over the weekend and I made a fun necklace. It isn't scanning well, so sometime soon hopefully I can get a good picture of it with the camera and get it up here. I am also doing a colloborative project with my friend Sandee for something, but I'm going to be hush-hush about it for now. I have also become involved with Facebook (which is quite time-consuming) but is so great in the fact that it really does help me keep in touch with a lot of people better! So, that's what's been going on with me and I am really going to try and be better about updating my blog more often. Hope you are all doing great :)<br /><br /><div></div></div>artbeth67http://www.blogger.com/profile/01648326810654667407noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38873643.post-5667508463211401592009-02-15T13:31:00.000-08:002009-02-15T13:39:22.765-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWrTH4-EQvjZij6ZN1K1s_WZk8DHeiX4iySAZsW9aLCiFk71CrGjophYUD5jubydCnt_Lxqcq3pfbvIwVo1SDeJA6HDQ0vMIzAtJhyphenhyphen-R3CiFxzJIaS8Cd5E5Oceb7aExiL1vBipA/s1600-h/candybox-1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303140139965220370" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 289px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWrTH4-EQvjZij6ZN1K1s_WZk8DHeiX4iySAZsW9aLCiFk71CrGjophYUD5jubydCnt_Lxqcq3pfbvIwVo1SDeJA6HDQ0vMIzAtJhyphenhyphen-R3CiFxzJIaS8Cd5E5Oceb7aExiL1vBipA/s400/candybox-1.jpg" border="0" /></a> This is a box I altered for an 'Altered Candy Heart Box' swap in one of my groups. It started as the usual red box with a tacky picture of a rose on it. It measures 12 in. x 13 in. The only thing I knew that the recipient liked were the colors blue and purple. It was then filled with all kinds of art goodies, chocolate and a handmade bracelet.

These pieces look so much better in person! Sometimes I sit down with my beads with the best intentions of making a piece or two and I just can't get a combination that I like. That did not happen today though! It all just 'clicked'! I know that most of you can definitely relate to what I'm talking about :) BTW, these pieces are not meant to match by any means. They are two completely different combinations of beads.</div></div>artbeth67http://www.blogger.com/profile/01648326810654667407noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38873643.post-3795782432534282262009-01-07T08:53:00.000-08:002009-01-07T09:51:59.107-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0L4XD-fx2RHUwi61TkOvvLmafN7ib61oAHK2Q6S2zkoqWmSGTHRWnEDO9sdmFC4C9ilrKYXC6CMPqJnt0axbG2Qzr3jfboQYkhZWo_8hXlaDKNV-BZag6F4IO-7VPiRnojTZJuw/s1600-h/image0-8.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288596343561861074" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 197px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0L4XD-fx2RHUwi61TkOvvLmafN7ib61oAHK2Q6S2zkoqWmSGTHRWnEDO9sdmFC4C9ilrKYXC6CMPqJnt0axbG2Qzr3jfboQYkhZWo_8hXlaDKNV-BZag6F4IO-7VPiRnojTZJuw/s400/image0-8.jpg" border="0" /></a> Believe it or not, I am finally posting some new art!

The ornaments are not necessarily supposed to be 'Christmas' ornaments since not everyone participating in the swap celebrates Christmas. Everyone was open to interpret what their version of a 'Zetti Holiday Ornament' is and go from there. It is my first time hosting ever in any group. Participants only needed to make 1-3 ornaments (they get the same number back as they sent in), which isn't such a huge and stressful commitment as some of the other swaps around are. I know that I can't participate in anything that I have to make more than just a few things in because I don't have the time and I get very stressed out! Both started as plain paper mache ornaments that I obviously altered A LOT!!! They both measure about 7-1/2 to 8 inches in length (including the hanger pictured). Please feel free to leave me a comment letting me know what you think of them. Hope you are enjoying the holiday season so far! :)<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Oq7qIeviCG6QRCYGBBu_COADaIYULBNZk3bS7rCbRXwqi26ZIXwjZZrFTjFwJdkZXiaBaH6aoA7sGHKWEQx_EV9wXQLFmJ0gs8fPHASHqfe8_2dvGpsD2VsR3mmw_xRD0SJINA/s1600-h/image0.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274321899937838418" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 328px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Oq7qIeviCG6QRCYGBBu_COADaIYULBNZk3bS7rCbRXwqi26ZIXwjZZrFTjFwJdkZXiaBaH6aoA7sGHKWEQx_EV9wXQLFmJ0gs8fPHASHqfe8_2dvGpsD2VsR3mmw_xRD0SJINA/s400/image0.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>artbeth67http://www.blogger.com/profile/01648326810654667407noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38873643.post-48809517504278276042008-11-26T17:44:00.000-08:002008-11-26T17:54:41.960-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkK1V2WMSQxsFOItbmdSne2ekpw-N5OWwdPBDxhuemxvFiwmo1VKifn6SmVsB5nUyCRd2OgZ6RXz90Z8FRtEdh7Kgnad7dfe5Xjk9e9Ef0Cz_Jg1jF2WGD4Xp0uuyMe8_P8FKPOA/s1600-h/IMG_3748.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273147539144468978" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 226px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkK1V2WMSQxsFOItbmdSne2ekpw-N5OWwdPBDxhuemxvFiwmo1VKifn6SmVsB5nUyCRd2OgZ6RXz90Z8FRtEdh7Kgnad7dfe5Xjk9e9Ef0Cz_Jg1jF2WGD4Xp0uuyMe8_P8FKPOA/s400/IMG_3748.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtYpefKb2k4PpdWv3x_hW19BlJeemeOal5C4JlnpBdQKsuoVLx489Ykq-Wufl6dgb0ZQ607GUohpkIrSEctlKKcIJe8CY8HhqQAbELOXEMk7x2ELnBg0zilFUG86dvdVR-CwFFdg/s1600-h/IMG_3764.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273147538955074098" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 317px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtYpefKb2k4PpdWv3x_hW19BlJeemeOal5C4JlnpBdQKsuoVLx489Ykq-Wufl6dgb0ZQ607GUohpkIrSEctlKKcIJe8CY8HhqQAbELOXEMk7x2ELnBg0zilFUG86dvdVR-CwFFdg/s400/IMG_3764.JPG" border="0" /></a> Been super busy lately, as I'm sure you all are too!

Hope you all have a very safe and Happy Thanksgiving! :)<br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzWhaZ6CcQLhikxa67n89OK8ZFn3IG-QIpLgOodbtiXjix39mVrFp7F094xMJf6KwfQZNBcygpp2vvaFcvFfeHF6odyqTnaNhEdO3XJ4y3oy8j4fafoRoKQ3r-WcrUUpea0kOxJg/s1600-h/IMG_3746.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273147532691845666" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 380px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzWhaZ6CcQLhikxa67n89OK8ZFn3IG-QIpLgOodbtiXjix39mVrFp7F094xMJf6KwfQZNBcygpp2vvaFcvFfeHF6odyqTnaNhEdO3XJ4y3oy8j4fafoRoKQ3r-WcrUUpea0kOxJg/s400/IMG_3746.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div>artbeth67http://www.blogger.com/profile/01648326810654667407noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38873643.post-33814073328539518552008-11-17T08:17:00.000-08:002008-11-17T08:28:25.709-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaIRwzM4Vgcx11V0CmKD936hovJbo2nxOr4rJG3zz81t1K-g3m0r53vHAJ3z3BzhelEuF6Xugey859LUiWCVIBZo4PBJHjpcJRvynk2XSYJKQN3fO0US9KLCuGsEdggYuiMY7I3g/s1600-h/image1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269661467071547842" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 282px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaIRwzM4Vgcx11V0CmKD936hovJbo2nxOr4rJG3zz81t1K-g3m0r53vHAJ3z3BzhelEuF6Xugey859LUiWCVIBZo4PBJHjpcJRvynk2XSYJKQN3fO0US9KLCuGsEdggYuiMY7I3g/s400/image1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br />This is a 5 x 7 collage called 'Do You Really See?' This piece is a bit darker than the others I've been making recently. Someone I love very much is suffering from major depression right now. It hit her like a brick wall and she's never gone through anything like this before. It is very hard for me to see her like this, but she is getting help so hopefully we will see a positive change soon. I made this piece as I was thinking about her.artbeth67http://www.blogger.com/profile/01648326810654667407noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38873643.post-63445798803856170402008-11-12T22:05:00.000-08:002008-11-12T22:06:44.159-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxiMSDRHKKL4dFf7oJf9Sgh9UWdzhM4gIL0GwBOH6RBmLSfuv1bPTiRTSUus052TqOUwtTmK3XYDJhP5VO58fnvHPDmHkFUT9vj8ghBKKnVHN16uX46QKp9BDhh6RpTGUrOrIgYA/s1600-h/mast.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268019353820816466" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 107px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxiMSDRHKKL4dFf7oJf9Sgh9UWdzhM4gIL0GwBOH6RBmLSfuv1bPTiRTSUus052TqOUwtTmK3XYDJhP5VO58fnvHPDmHkFUT9vj8ghBKKnVHN16uX46QKp9BDhh6RpTGUrOrIgYA/s400/mast.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>We went here (<a href="http://www.davincilb.com/">http://www.davincilb.com/</a>) after the CPR class for some awesome desserts too!
