Bragging Again

here i go again going on about my grand kids...this time it is Annie who just has to do art with me when she is off of school and is spending the day with me.....when she saw the studio door i am doing she said, "oh please, nonnie, can i do one too...please please please."......well what is a "nonnie" to do but let her do a door....the studio bathroom door.....talk about 2 big blue eyes lighting up, she was so excited ......and here is her work in progress.....now she is 7yrs old and she did this all by herself with my direction.....great, huh?

Painted &Stamped Book Pages

i was playing late last night...couldn't sleep....made these papers from book pages...used my cheap acrylic paint on them first and then some stamps when the paint dried......then used some distress ink to give them a kind of vintage look..... fun...... when i did return to bed i slept until 8am..... yah

Free Day

i am usually taking care of my 8 month old grand daughter during the week but today i am free...i wanted to post these proofs of them that were taken by a photographer on location at a neighboring farm........i love , love these pictures of piper and annie...

Fall in it's glory

just felt the need to share these pictures.....the ginkgo tree in front of my studio is absolutely beautiful .....against the Carolina blue sky it is breath taking ..... and the hydrangea bush is always gorgeous...they were bright blue this summer...i am always in awe with fall.......

2 more WIP's

this is the outside and inside of my studio door.....what fun this is to do....this is the result of the graffiti chic 2 class i am taking from alisa burke i am really enjoying throwing the paint around.....i am anxious to use some of the stamps i made....i did use the heart already..... ;-)

So Many Classes

I have signed up for so many on-line classes this past year and although my intentions are good and i get so excited, i do not seem to complete the class from beginning to end.....so i have made a commitment to myself not to take anymore classes until i work on the ones i have already paid for......

the photo above is a result of one of alisa burke's classes ....i have tken 4 of her classes... i love her stuff and i sooo enjoy throwing paint around....it is so relaxing....these stamps are made from craft foam and were a blast to do.....can't wait to use them... ;)
