-so fresh- i want that mountain.

New necklaces for spring! I've been busy making jewelry again, i sort of slacked off for a while.. well i guess i didn't really SLACK off as much as i just got overwhelmed with other things - And i've been making a TON od art (which is awesome) I guess it comes in waves :-) I ordered some new beads last night too, new fun colors! I can't wait for them to arrive. Well here are 2 new necklaces, I have not added them to ETSY yet, but feel free to e-mail me ashleyadiano@gmail.com or message me on facebook for purchase -They are just $20 and i can do custom color combos if you'd

Alright, i recently realized (again) how bad i've been at keeping up with this blog. From here on out i am going to be better, i will post regularly. There will be art to see on this blog. ha. here we go! *This is a monoprint, I began it as a linocut but screwed up the pressure on the press and completely obliterated my linoleum.. so it became a monoprint.. Still looks cool, but not as cool as it could of looked :)

It's Fall!

It's finally getting cold! Here are a couple new scarves i've been making. They are the bandana style scarves (my favorite)

here you go

SEXPOT.

SURVIVAL.

BRINGING THE FAMILIAR TO MEET THE UNKNOWN.

few new paintings : ) I'm really excited about all of these, i feel like I’m doing something right finally, like I’ve always made paintings but I’m finally actually painting, If that makes sense. So all of these are sort of dealing with precariousness, the unobtainable, the laws of chance, constant shifting and adapting, desire, wander and obsession.. I am playing with the idea of collage as painting, layering and abstracting. All of these new paintings are 2x2 which pose an initial dilemma that has to be dealt with. The compositional choices and use of more intuitive, imaginative, unnatural colors let me bring a sense of illusiveness to play. I like that these paintings all started with no predestined goal, and that they are all stream of consciousness compositions that inspire a bit of adventure and I also like that all layers simultaneously and vigorously demand your attention, although these paintings weren’t intended to have a narrative, I understand that they do evoke the idea of story-telling if and you'd like to create one you can.

tell me lies tell me sweet little lies

New painting! I need to get better at posting, i've been doing so many new exciting things lately.. i wish i was better at the blogging.
