Art on the Big Screen

Yes thats right, I have managed to get my art on to the big screen, well, in a way.  Let me explain, Picasa and You Tube have launched a very cool program for creating movies out of your images or you could call it a slideshow, which ever suits your  fancy.

I do owe a special thanks to Alycia from The Curious Pug for her amazingly helpful tutorial on how to do this whole thing, I do recommend you check it out if you are interested in making your own as she has done an amazing job laying out all of the step by step instructions complete with printscreens and everything, so very helpful! To view her tutorial click HERE.

I have just successfully finished my very first Oddball Art Co. movie titled, of course, 'A Love Story.'  This movie is entirely of my ACEO series, with beutiful love story type of music playing along with.  I feel that this is a great way for artists to expose themselves to an entirely new croud of people that might not have ever been introduced to their art work.

Ok, ok enough talk and more movie, I know you are likely quivering with anticipation so without further ado I would like to present to you Oddball Art Co.'s first ever appearance on the big screen with 'A Love Story'........

16 Ways 2 Add The Wilderness 2 Your Wild Life

This weeks Treasury Challenge theme is 'Wilderness and Wildlife' and my take on that was 'YAY Zebra Print!' Any chance at all I have to fill something up with zebra print, if you know me then you know I will!  So I spent 3 1/2 hours finding 8 undiscovered shops and 6 members of The Undiscovered Artists of Etsy with zebra print items in their shops.  It was not an easy task but I did it and I might add the treasury is FABULOUS, I have a snapshot of it below and please feel free to click on the items and leave a comment on the treasury page letting me know what you think of it.  I look forward to reading all of the comments soon.  :)

Wednesday's Undiscovered Teams Treasury Challenge

This weeks theme for the Treasury Challenge is 'Anti Valentines Day' and I sure did have fun with this one.  My take on the theme is that we live in a love/hate kind of world and that doesn't change just because it's February 14th.  I never put as much effort into making a treasury as I did this one, it took me about 2 hours by the time I was done, and not even including sending out all the emails afterwards.  I tried to pick items that expressed love and some that expressed hate and put them all together to reflect an Anti Valentines Day theme.  I have to say that this treasury truly does scream Anti Valentine so I would have to say 'job well done!' :)  Have a looksy below at all of the fab finds and don't forget to click, view, comment, click, click and maybe comments some more!  This is a challenge and I want to WIN!!!!!!!!
