“EVERYTHING IS FREE IT ALWAYS WILL BE” but we need your help to keep it that way! 2014 marked our 10th Anniversary providing art worthy materials for creative minds free of charge.
The Art Resource Center (ARC) helps any non-profit to facilitate their art needs.
The ARC has saved thousands of pounds of waste from going to our landfills by collecting materials. When a teacher calls and says they are a new hire but the classroom is empty we fill the shelves with art supplies. When volunteers from March of Dimes want to do a special project we help with ideas and send them away with supplies. When Head Start needs tactile fabrics and inspiration for young minds we are the ones they come to for help. When a homeless artist walks through the door we give her paints and canvas and brushes.
The ARC touches well over 20,000 lives a year and our reach into the community and around the state is growing annually.
Please consider supporting the work of the ARC. Your dollars are needed to increase our space, build a gallery for recycled art exhibits and to offer classes to the community and so that we can be self sustaining.
If everyone on in our network donated $25 we would reach our 2015 goal and fulfill our dreams.
THE ARC is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit your donation is tax deductible.

I am still loving the Paper Message in a Bottle idea. See other samples in this previous post. I used the idea to create an end of the year teacher thank you for the smallest one’s Pre-school teacher. The smallest one colored and decorated the jar shape and picked out the Cherrios slide frame. This amazing teacher was also the short one’s teacher. She is a gift to these girls and to our family. A big thank you to teachers!
This past weekend I lead a workshop at SMoCA for teens at the Night At The Museum Event. It was such a good time!
I used rubber stamps of mason jars, stamped them onto paper, scanned them into the computer, cleaned them up and blew the scale up to a larger size. Then I printed the graphic jars onto white card stock. I had the participants cut the jars out and glue them on three sides down to a colored card stock, leaving the top open so a paper note could be tucked in. Then they decorated each of their jars. They made some amazing projects! Here are the sample I created. I will post theirs into another post soon.
Every year I try to whip up some Valentines Day cards for the local shops. Even though the full force greeting card part of my business is now closed, I still love to make cards and produce them just for a choice few retailers. These four Valentines Day cards are available for only a few weeks of February 2013. They can be found at MADE in Central Phoenix. These are created using the YUDU screen-printer, Japanese Washi Tape and Markers. The bottom on is a red fabric jewelry bag with paper tickets inside.
