My sweet friend Shelley Haganman made these buttons for me...they're an image from my artwork, and then she also put my new website on them (dinawakley.com). How fun is that??
Check out Shelley's "A Flair for Buttons" blog and Etsy shop. Seriously cute stuff! Thanks, Shelley!
Fella #3 took this picure of me on Saturday...he thought it was so funny that I had black paint up to my elbows, yet couldn't explain *how* I had ended up with black paint up to my elbows.
See that massive file in the background that is exploding with stuff? That's my "unfinished/warm up" box...where I put stuff I've started & might need another time. Me thinks I need a bigger box, eh?
I just LOVE the buttons!!!! How cool to have your own buttons with your own artwork!
Must laugh a bit seeing you with paint on! But thats how it supposed to be when you create, some paint here, some paint there 'lol'
Seeing your warming up video at creative jump start I'm not surprised over your huge file with stuff :D

Dina, the picture is so fun! I have black paint all over a sweatshirt the other day in lines just like yours. It's amazing how we get the paint there and don't even know how we did it!
Love all your wonderfully colored works and the Header ROCKS!!!

OH MY GOODNESS i have one of those boxes too.. well mine is a slot that thinks it is a box. a big box.. but really is a slot.. kind of like my cat thinks she is a dog and not any dog but a great dane kind of dog..
anyway sorry about that!!
i love those mysterious kind of paint splats but have no idea how it got there. i would like to think that it was during a creative frenzy..
holy sorry there i go again!!!
Dina, love the new buttons!!!!

ha! ha! Me thinks you need some big drawers ;} Or you could just say that it is a "semi-permanent" art instalation...lol

Ok..you may think I am crazy, but there are a bunch of us out there that would probably love bits of your "warm up" pages. You should package them and sell them to others for mix media! I would buy a bag....its nice to have others artwork within your jornal pages...hmmm...maybe a swap.....
Love your buttons!
