Cute animals...

Not quite sure what inspired me to start this series...

These are the first three in a series of six.

Fun and silly .

A lion, peacock and hippo to come when they are finished.

I think these would be so cute in a child's room.

Making Washi tape...

I could spend a small fortune on Washi (paper) tape and probably have.

I saw some paper tape in the dollar store and was intrigued.

I laid out several pieces on wax paper.



I applied watered down acrylic paint.

After the paint dried, I used stamps and ink to decorate.

Here is one of the pieces used on a journaling page.

Fun and very cheap at $1 per roll.

Enjoy!

Pretty...

The colors in my hydrangeas this fall were incredible.

So pretty.

Enjoy!

Color...

Some of what I did this weekend...

Lots of color. Handmade papers for future art.

Enjoy!

Gyspy Soul...

 

Saw this quote on Pinterest and fell in love.

 

It really speaks to me.

I made the chalkboard using an old frame.

Enjoy!

Cross Country...

My oldest grandson, Tyler, ran Cross Country this year.

He did really well for his first year and as a sixth grader, he was one of the youngest runners.

I was sad when their season was over because I really enjoyed watching him run.

So very proud.

Enjoy!

Treasure...

Samsonite

 

A couple of weeks ago, my mother passed on the piece to me. It had belonged to my grandparents and was part of a full set they owned. The tag attached to the handle has my grandfather's name on it. I love these old vanity/cosmetic cases, they come in handy for carrying art supplies on the go. This one I will treasure.

Enjoy!

Playing with paper...

A few collage pieces in the works..

 

Torn tissue paper, handmade papers ,pages from National Geographic magazines treated with CitraSolv and a little acrylic paint. Trying to decide if they need anything else.

Enjoy!
