Bright Designs

These watercolors will eventually be cast into a bezel with resin for necklaces. I went through a paisley stage in grade school and decided to bring them back to go with the bright colors I was in the mood to paint with.

I almost forgot about this one...

Studio Photos

I had an friend visit about a month ago. She took some rather stellar shots of my studio and art supplies. I offered to tidy up a bit, but with the wisdom of an art teacher she said, it's more interesting this way.

Valentines Day-the day after

Something I look forward to every year is a Valentine's Day exchange.

This year I decided to do a Calendar. Most likely I am going to reformat it for 2013 and sell it on my etsy store.

Happy holidays! Free things you can print!

Holiday Fun

Before and After...a chair and table

Occasionally, I go a bit nutty and decide that either a free chair or a thrift shop table can be rescued in time for an event I will be hosting.

Well, I managed to do so on time (3 days!) and with rather good results. With directions I found here, I updated both in time for use at a bridal shower.

Chair before:


Chair after:


Table before and during:


Table after:


Originally, I had wanted to put the damask design on the top of the table, but with it's surface being hard glass like stuff, I had to settle for the bottom. I think I am pleased with it that way because it allows me to layer doilies on top. There will be a third one, but I am still crocheting it.

The stickers came from Joann Fabric in their wall sticker area. I just cut them here and there to get the desired look.

Waterlillies and a Fairy — Finished illustration

I suppose there comes a time when you have to let go and say....it's done. Since this is on my only larger sized pre-stretched watercolor paper stack I needed to get it off the board so I could start something new.

And just in time for me to have gotten my new Epson printer.
