Soon to be Jam

Picked these this morning at my daughter's house......soooo yummy......they will mostly be used for jam......i think i will try the "no cook" freezer jam a neighbor told me about...it makes a small amount and is supposed to be super easy to prepare.......i am about "easy" when it comes to the kitchen....

again

she art created on a 5x7 canvas board..

Busy Busy....

mostly busy with our 14month old grand baby, Piper.....this picture is Piper in papa's Gator hat....she loves wearing it......and is a big ham when you pull out the camera

and....more "she Art" on a 10x10 canvas

Obsessed

with "she art"......i finally am using some of my craft paint,stamps and the ton of paper i have stashed away......and these are so much fun and stress free.....

One more "She Art" 4x6

this is the last one i will post here, honest....the others will go on my "card and paper arts blog" i haven't been posting much there but i think it is a good spot for my "she art" and etc.... ;)

She Art (again) 6x12

ok, i am having too much fun with these....

Playing with "She Art" on a 6x12 canvas panel

boy i am all over the place with my art these days....i must admit that i really had a great time doing this "she art" ( Christy Tomlinson ) piece even though it is loaded with too much "stuff".( i think)...and the girl is not straight....i got carried away ...paper was flying everywhere and mod podge had my fingers sticking together...... but it is fun, fun, fun....

Zorana's Class

Finally took a photo of the journal i did for Zorana's Class. It is a 8 x 10 accordian style journal that ties on both sides.......Pictured are the front and back covers....the pages are "rosin paper"....I like the size and i know i will enjoy working in it......

Another Sketch

Another charcoal sketch for Gritty Jane's class....i like the charcoal and think i will do more....i think i will use a reference this next time... i think all of the "girls" i do (from my head) look alike...so boring!!!!

Charcoal

i have been playing with charcoal the past few days.....i started this and got a smudge on it that would not go away....ugh....did not want to put any more time in it....off to another sheet of drawing paper......

Stamping & Coloring on Fabric

In Sharon's apron class one of the assignments is to stamp and color on muslin so we can become familiar with the pencils we are using to do the apron art....The color we are using comes from Inktense pencils by Derwent.... they are awesome....i have used them before and really like them....they are watercolour that is permanent when dry....

These butterflies are my practice.....i think they are so pretty.....

Nope, not a Forsythia

this bush outside my kitchen window is not a Forsythia....i have a number of Forsythia bushs on our property and this is way different ....the flower is very different.....i bought it years ago...seems to me it was a Japanesse something or other..???......sorry about the picture but i just cropped the original....

I think it is spring

out one of my kitchen window you see this beautiful bush..i don't know what it is....but it is yellow and gorgeous.....

Doodles

i did make some time to doodle three doodles in my sketch book......

Sketch in my sketch book

No Finished Art because.....

2 beautiful grand children, Piper Jane and Annie Kate, are taking up most of my creative time these days.......but i love it... they will soon be grown and won't need "nonnie" as often as they do at this time.... ;)
