Your Tiny Bits

Scraps! I bet you thought I was going to be posting about something scandalous. *grin* Sadly, no.
I’d like to thank everyone for the well-wishes and the swell of support. The last six months has kicked me around pretty hard, but I’m made of stern stuff and plan to bounce back as quick as I can.

Getting to Know Yuripee

As any one reading this blog is well aware, we here at Gauche Alchemy are huge fans of Japanese artist Yuripee. She sweetly agreed to answer a few questions for us. Before we learn all about this incredibly talented lady, check this out:

I know! I had the same feeling when I saw this too. Woo-hoo! Mixed [...]

Introducing Sherry Goodloe!

Sherry Goodloe is one of my fav artists – she’s always got something good going on over at her blog. She is a sweet, sweet lady – one thing I love about the art community is how willing folks are to talk and share no matter how well-known, no matter how busy. I [...]

Naming Red and a Winner

Wow folks! When we asked you to think up names for this gorgeous beauty I never imagined 40 comments. Yep, that’s right, FORTY! Holy lots of ideas, Batman. Wish I knew all of you when I was trying to come up with the name for my third boy.
This was a hard, hard choice. The finalists [...]

Day Of The Dead

Day of the Dead is fast approaching and I thought it would be fun to bring some Gauche  Alchemy goodness to a very fun, colorful, reverent holiday.
Day of the Dead is celebrated on November first and second and it’s purpose is to give families a chance to set aside time and remember loved ones who [...]

She deftly mixes Gauche Alchemy kits and her own personal style into Art Journals, layouts and cards that defy all [...]

Gauche Alchemy Premier Circle Journal Project

We are sponsoring a circle journal (this is a first for me, personally), which filled up pretty immediately after announcing it.  We’re off and running, and I thought I’d share some of the Design Team’s efforts.  (For more, go to the Circle Journal Flickr group.)
Maggi’s journal theme is “Vintage Bling.”  She created the inside cover [...]

Altered Toilet Seats

When you hear the phrase “decorative toilet seats” do you think of this:

Or maybe this:

If your experiences parallel my own, even a little bit, suddenly visions of stained super hero underwear and pleading to please, please, FOR THE LOVE OF PETE, pee in the potty … but I digress.
It turns out, decorated throne tops [...]

We’re published! Scrap ‘n Art eZine!

Scrap n’ Art eZine decided to run an article about us!

This ‘Zine is so freakin’ cool – although it’s an online mag, it is totally slick and glossy, just like a mag you’d pick up (for much more money, btw) at a newstand (who says “newstand” these days?). If you don’t believe me, you [...]
