Punkin' Head

Hi there and thanks for popping in for a visit!

 

So last night I did something I so need to do way more often.  A friend came over for a artsy playdate with me.  We hung out in the studio, ate chocolate, listened to oldies,  had a few cocktails, got paint on our hands and giggled!

 

She brought over this cute little halloweeny resin statue.  I should have taken a picture of the little guy because he was cUte!  This is also inspired by Pumpkins & Cider.  One of the many course I'm taking at the moment.  We sketched our model out and started playing!

SEVEN hours later and this was the result:

 

 

What can I say...time flies when you're having fun.  And we did stop for dinner on the deck.  On my Punkin' Head's dress, I cut out letters from an old book.  It reads "Time for Trick-or-Treat". 

 

Here are a couple close ups.  I do so love her face and her shoes. 

 

Hope she brought a little smile to your face!

Happy Wednesday!

Gosh, I can't believe June is almost over.  I'm starting on a great summer project for all those summer vacation pictures.  Blues, greens, golds and silvers...it's going to be beautiful!

But for now, I'm going to share a canvas collage I did a few weeks ago.  I used a simple technique of making what looks like a quilted background, just using papers I cut up into "inches" from October Afternoon.  I inked the edges, used a matte medium and then added some little do-dads here and there. 

I love the little Happy Potion bottle the most out of the entire project. For the miniature bottle I just dropped  a little bit of alcohol ink inside, did a little swirling thing and let it dry.  I loved the look!

Hope you have a great day and remember to filled your creative soul with a little bit of inspiration today.
