  • Happy Home

    Yesterday I mentioned my last-minute crafting.  This would be an example of some way overdue crafting!  I made this is as wedding gift for my friends that were married on the 4th of July.  For some reason I just couldn't decide if it was quite done so I held onto it all this time.  The

  • Block o’ Flowers

    My friend Candice's birthday is tomorrow, and I was thinking of getting her some flowers.  But I decided instead to make a somewhat more permanent arrangement ~ kind of a wooden birthday card. Quite awhile ago I purchased a 4×6" piece of lumber {8' long} and had it cut into 6" sections.  Now I have

  • Owl, day shift

    I guess this is what an owl would be doing during the day, right?  Takin' a snooze.  Here's where it started… I was listening to DVD's of Ballykissangel while painting tonight.  Now I'm picturing this scene in Ireland!  Do they have owls in Ireland?  I'll have to go check that out one day.      ♥

  • Night Owl

    It's a wonderfully rainy Sunday…been pouring since early afternoon.  Actually, it may have started raining this morning, but I didn't get up until 1:00 p.m. so I can't be sure!  :o)  The night owl in me came out so I didn't turn in until 5:00 a.m.   I love staying up late.  Definitely my best time.

  • Cocoa

    I was trying to draw a yummy mocha in a nice pottery mug.  Since marshmallows found their way into the cup though, I decided it was probably hot chocolate sans the espresso.  Either way – I wish I had a mug like that!  ♥

  • Bock Bock!

    My life has taken on a chicken theme lately, so naturally I had to paint a chicken coop.  Why chickens?  Fresh eggs, baby!Ok, I'm not really that much of an egg devote but I do have an inner farm girl that's been under wraps for too long.  Since my life doesn't seem to be going

  • Hello there…

    The girl in my painting finally has a face!  That's where I seem to let myself get stuck.  I'll get the rest of the painting to a place I'm happy with and then freeze up when it comes to the face & hair.   I really like how she turned out though.  I'm in the home

  • Part IV

    Thanks for following along on this multi-media painting journey!  It's fun to share this one as I complete each part.Last night I worked on the waves/dress.  I poured some blue & some ivory paint right on the canvas and went for it.  Then, using a damp paper towel, I blotted out some areas so the

  • Part III

    Still a long way to go, but you can kind of see how it's shaping up.  I might have to make the sail boat a bit smaller so it doesn't overwhelm the girl. I can tell already that this will get to that point where I like it as a collage & have a hard
