Exhibition No. 10 - Zornitsa Machanova

It is our pleasure to bring you the

Arts Exhibitions No.10

An on-line exhibition of work by Artist and Craftsmen from around the Globe ...

Featuring Zornitsa Machanova Oil on Canvas

Zornitsa Machanova is a very talented artist who has been a member of Adlandpro Since January 2006. Her work will give you a charming glimpse of Bulgaria.

If you are not a friend or Zornista send her an invitation.

About the artist

Zornitsa Machanova

Born in 1978 in the city of Vidin, Bulgaria loves to recreate images from the Bulgarian customs and culture, using oils and canvas. Some of her paintings created both in Bulgaria and abroad, are property of collectors from Bulgaria, Italy and the USA.

Her education is not artistic. She is a bachelor of International Economic Relations and has a masters degree in Business Administration, but her love for art has been following her ever since she was first able to hold a pencil with a steady hand. A number of private art-classes and the opportunities to escape the city and paint in different parts of Bulgaria, made her what she is - an artist with great love for history, strong colors and deep images.

Considering the power of the Internet and the necessity for promotion and presentation of talented Bulgarian artists, since 2005 she started an initiative, which gathered a number of painters, wood-carvers and icon-makers and joined them in a common virtual exhibition room. http://www.artsbg.net/.

Exhibition No. 9 - Joanne Martell

Joanne has been an active member of AdlandPro for some time but is better known to you for her network marketing activities. This week we are bringing you something different. Joanne has brought us a How To Exhibition. This way you can make your own versions of the work she shows us, following the instruction from her own Craft Site


Joanne's Work and How to do it yourself

I've been crafting since 2002, and have found it to be a very relaxing and satisfying hobby. I started out doing a lot of small projects such as Christmas ornaments, but I found myself gravitating toward the more complex crafts, such as knitting, crocheting, and sewing.

As you can see by the photos, I've tried a little bit of everything. I love using commonly found items and transforming them into something unusual and interesting.

This Christmas Teddy Bear was made from a rose bowl, along with some polar fleece in tan color, as well as some scraps of rick rack and felt. You can sew the pieces together manually, or if you have a sewing machine, it goes much faster. It makes a great Christmas candy jar. I sold quite a few of those at a Christmas craft fair we had locally.

This potpourri jar is also made from a rose bowl, and all it takes is some fabric, some cotton batting, elastic, a bit of lace, and some ribbon and artificial flowers. Again, this item is created much more quickly with a sewing machine.

This beautiful Poinsettia afghan was created from a free Red Heart pattern (#928-522). I used Hunter green, white and red Red Heart^TM Comfort yarn for the project. I had some wool left over after the afghan was finished, so I made a couple of pillows to match (see photo).

I used a free pattern from Knit Addicted called Bulky Yarn Booties to create the cute slippers shown in the picture. They are knit using two strands of wool, and are very warm and durable. They knit up in very little time, and are extremely easy to make. I also used Red Heart^TM Comfort yarn for these.

These socks and mitts are knitted using any basic mitt and sock patterns that you can find anywhere online for free. I like using the four-needle method for knitting the mittens, but there are also two-needle methods that are easier to learn for a beginning knitter. They are great sellers at craft fairs as well, although it is very hard to charge a price that reflects all of the time you put into knitting these items.





In September of last year (2006), I finally decided that it was time to start my own craft site! I had been thinking about it for quite some time, but I also have a few online marketing/webmaster sites as well, and this was already keeping me quite busy. And so Joanne's Crafts was born. I started off with just a few patterns , but was lucky enough that Patons, Bernat and Lily yarns allowed me to add their own free patterns to my site, and it's kind of exploded from there! Besides all the great free patterns, we now have a crafting reciprocal links directory, a great little crafts article directory, as well as crafts newsfeeds. In the future I intend to add a craft store to the site so that I can sell my handmade items.

I hope you'll come and visit us at our site, which features many knitting, crocheting and tatting patterns, as well as a wide range of crafts articles:



Blessings
Joanne

Exhibition No. 8 - Paula Gaon

Paula has been a member of AdlandPro since 2004.
She is a professional artist and sells her designs in the form of posters, Tshirts, sports clothing, cards, cups, trays and other gift items. She lives in Negev in Israel.

About the Artist:

Hello Everyone,

First of all, a big thanks to Rose and Team for inviting me to show. Hope you enjoy my pics. I've always been
into art--even earned degrees. Now, thanks to High Tech,
we artists can even earn from our creations -will wonders ever cease?!!

Recently, I've been inspired by popular fantasy
(You Harry Potter fans will appreciate this.)
as you can see from "The Phoenix" and "A Tree Full of Owls" prints.

See these prints and more at

In addition, have always loved kitties, so of course,
they always end up appearing in my artwork.

See Tuxedo, Silver and other kitties at

A few years ago, I decided that it was time for this aging
Babyboomer to learn computer graphics, and a whole
new world suddenly opened up. Art isn't just painting and
drawing as I'd learned it many years ago, rather,
Hight Tech has allowed us to create and manipulate all sorts of images
and texts for all sorts of purposes. And why not, an artist,
like everybody else has to expand horizons. Hence, I've recently
gotten into doing Attitude stuff, along with Nostalgia. Wonder what
Leonardo would think of all this?

Exhibition No. 7 - John Johnson

It is our pleasure to bring you
the
Arts Exhibition 7

John Johnson has made his living as a commercial artist. You are in for a treat.

The following artwork was created between 1978 to the present. The media used was acrylics, pen and ink, colored pencils and markers.

Some were created during John's time in the Advertising field as an Art Director and then a Creative Director for various agencies.

About the artist

My background is in the design/advertising field. I started as an artist and gradually moved into the Creative Director for an Advertising Agency. During this growing period I self-taught myself the airbrush. This quickly became my medium of choice because it is used in the advertising field; but also because I could create realistic art. Eventually I mixed the airbrush and pen and ink to give my work a "mixed variety".

Of course, my advertising background is evident in some of my work. Personally I really like the "Old People" series of pen and ink. This art was created by stippling. Stippling is created by simply touching the tip of a pen to the surface; creating a dot. All the work in this series are dots. the only solid lines are when the dots came together.

Please enjoy my art and thanks for viewing

About Me

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> I have lived in the small town of Prosser, Washington for over 19 years
now. I have been fortunate to have traveled throughout the United States,
and especially in Oregon and Washington. The natural diversified beauty
of this part of the country is unsurpassed by any other region, ranging from rugged seacoast, to fertile valleys, snow capped mountain peaks, and high
desert within a distance of less than 200 miles.<!--[endif]-->

I worked for over 35 years in the natural resources and environmental
sciences. I have now retired and spend much of time pursuing my love
of photography and documenting the beautiful landscapes, seascapes,
and natural beauty around what I now call home.

Exhibition No. 5 - Martha Bloom

It is our pleasure to bring you
the
Arts Exhibition 5

Martha Bloom

Martha is a talented artist who uses paints gourds creating fascinating and unique pieces. Her work
can be purchased from her website.
Martha has chosen to bring us some Christmas
spirit with her exhibition.

About the artist

Gourds are most often thought of as being used
for crafts, especially birdhouses, and I agree
that is commonly what they are used for. But
many accomplished artists are enjoying them
for a new way to express their art besides on
a flat canvas.

Plenty of my gourd creations are of the craft
variety but I do try to throw in some with
artwork on occasion. Some of my work could be
considered sculpture because I join gourds
and gourd pieces together. Yes, they are
cutesy, (is that a word?), but nonetheless
are sculpture.

Everything I’ve learned has been self taught
from books and magazines, tips from other
gourd artists and crafters, or something that
just popped into my head to try and do.

Working with gourds can be a long journey
if you want to grow your own. It can take a
year or longer from the time they are planted
until the time you can work on them. Then
there is plenty of preparation work to be
done before the creative work can start.

My website http://marthasgourds.com/ has
information on what it takes to work with
gourds as well as my crafted gourds and I
would like to invite you there to see for
yourself.

Exhibition No. 4 - Lynda Hartley

It is our pleasure to bring you
the
Arts Exhibition 4

Lynda Hartley
Lynda paints with oils and pastels. She also does graphic design.

her to be your friend.





About the Artist

I am a great grand mother of 9, and at 60 am having a lot of fun with the
kids. I love teaching them to paint and do art works. I started painting
over 30 years ago, mostly in oils at that time, then I discovered acrylics
and flowers, and wow it just seemed to pop with me, however I still like
to do my oils in the summer.

I mainly paint for my family and myself, then the family said hey why
don't you sell some of your art, well, like most artists, I did not feel they
would sell, but they kept at me till I finely put some up. I have made
many mistakes with these first paintings, but am learning how to place
them better, and to improve upon my work.

I really enjoy painting the rocks as I paint what I see in them, and
sometimes they turn out really funny, and sometimes they are just
flowers I see.

Most of my flowers are on water color paper, however, I do paint on
canvas as well, or anything I can find to paint on.
