Kindness Is Enough

Hi there and welcome.

I'm so happy you popped in!

I went off with a bunch of friends yesterday and got to play for

many, many hours yeterday and met some new friends.

Most were scrappers and card makers so I may have scared a few of them

with my mixed media creations but it's all good, because I had a fun!

Here's a girl I finished up.

I think she's kind of cute. 

A cross between Christy's She Art Girls and Kelly Rae Roberts style.

Love them both dearly and I have so enjoyed their inspiration!

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!

Take Flight

WOW!  I think I've lost my mind.  I have been super busy with some new courses that I started this week.  Not sure how far behind I am but I'm hoping to get a little caught up over the next couple days.  Today I had some time in the studio and played.  Got paint, ink and Mod Podge on my fingers. 

 

 

This was inspired by a combination of ideas and thoughts.  I'm taking Kelly Rae Roberts course Taking Flight so naturally, I need some wings.  The little girl you see there is me when I was about 3 years old.  This is to remind me of the little girl I once was filled with wild abandon.  I found new adventures around every corner.  I climbed trees and swung in tire swings upside down, baked mud pies in the August sunshine and daydreamed a million dreams.  While I'm not sure my old body would do those things today, I do want to be brave, confident, creative and fearless.  So with a hopeful heart I am learning to practice bravery and courage.

 

Enjoy your weekend and thanks for visiting!
