My name is Janene Renee Tindall - Welcome to my web site!  Below you will find my blog, a random stream of stories of my thoughts and experiences, including quotes, photos, links, and more.  My interests range the gamut from painting, drawing, crocheting, needlecrafts, and cooking to reading, antiquing, flea market shopping, traveling, journaling, and of course home and family.  See photos of my art and life by selecting the "gallery" link above.  Check out my etsy site (www.rusteddragonfly.etsy.com) for my latest handmade creations for sale.  On May 20th, 2007, my husband, Chris, and I welcomed our first child into the world, a son we called Benjamin Michael (www.thetindallfamily.com).  For right now, I am enjoying the life of a stay-at-home mom before I have to return to my job in October (part-time, hopefully).  Together we own a store called The Weed Patch (www.theweedpatchstore.com), where we sell country, primitive, folk art décor and gifts.  Sometime within in the next year I hope to get my small business up and running, called Rusted Dragonfly.  My vision is for Rusted Dragonfly to be a one-stop shopping resource for unique paper arts, collage, mixed media, assemblage, and journaling supplies and toys, but for now I am selling my own handmade art and craft goodies.  We’ll keep you updated with photos and musings on my blog below, so please feel free to check in often and enjoy the journey with us!

Day 17 - Another background



Another background sitting on my art table drying, waiting to be used for...?? Who knows what. This is kind of a terrible photo, but what can I say, we don't have too much lighting in here yet. I was really in the mood to draw tonight, but ended up just making a big mess instead. It felt good. And now I'm going to go eat a twix bar right before bed. Yum.

Thank you, Hashi! Glad you like it. These are somewhat new colors for me (I usually tend toward autumn shades), and I've really been enjoying them. If you are interested in making your own, I generally followed Misty Mawn's technique in the current issue of Cloth, Paper, Scissors. I used Golden acrylics in cobalt teal blue, titanium white, and hansa yellow, as well as folk art craft acrylics in baby blue and kiwi. I used a turquoise portfolio water-soluble pastel around the edge of the canvas. Still haven't done anything with it yet, but I will someday! :)
