		<description><![CDATA[OMG, I just found out about the coolest thing, by way of Thrifty Collage Artist.
It&#8217;s called the Art-o-mat and is the very coolest thing! Old cigarette machines have been given new life as art vending machines. And they have a cool retro 50s feel to them, too. Take a look!

		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s assignment was to write a &#8220;today I feel&#8221; prompt, then go to work with finger painting!  (latex glove recommended!)
I used gray gesso to start on top of my writing and it really blocked things out too much, even when I mixed it with some white to lighten it. The pictures aren&#8217;t worth posting here.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=amateursadventuresinart.wordpress.com&blog=4138352&post=395&subd=amateursadventuresinart&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Day 21, Sarah gave us two options. A scribble misfit character or a &#8220;secret superhero.&#8221; I really enjoyed doing the misfit exercise, so I thought I&#8217;d try my hand at the secret superhero, too.  I have to say that artistically, I&#8217;m much more disappointed with this outcome than I was with the misfit.

She calls it &#8220;monoprint background&#8221; &#8211; which of course, it is &#8211; but I think of it more as a stamp.  It is an easy and simple way to get some really cool looks.
