Butterly fun...

I was so inspired by Rande's butterfly art on her blog that I played around this weekend with..guess what? right...butterflies!! I have quite a ways to go before I get as good as Rande, but I had fun and created 2 pieces that I used...one as a card to a friends sick husband and the other as an April entry in a lottery. All day today I have been printing images onto transparencies, vellum, and tissue paper for a class at Art & Soul. Thank goodness I am almost finished with my supply gathering for A&S...I don't know what I dislike the most...the gathering of supplies or putting them away when I get home. I don't like either!!! But, I do love the classes! And the friendships and the fun!! So, I guess I'll keep packing and unpacking. ;)

My artwork for Paper Whimsy Cookbook

I'm sending in my artwork which comprises 2 5X7 canvas boards done with art. One is a PaperWhimsy image and the recipe I am submitting, and the other is a 5X7 canvas board with art which includes a picture of myself serving the prepared recipe and my DH eating the prepared recipe. They pick the recipes they want to use and keep the original artwork. I don't know if mine will be picked, but I'll let you know as soon as I find out.

A rare sight...

Look closely! You may never see this again for many moons...clean countertops in my art room!! I love clean countertops but when I creating art I can't seem to keep them even reasonably clean and straightened. The reason they are so clean is that I have packed all my supplies for Art & Soul...;) It just made sense to clean my room and organize what was left behind. Oh, I wish it would stay like this longer than a few days...

maxineism...

I just had to post this to my blog today!
I have given this a fleeting thought or two...

gatherings

Jim snapped this photo of me one morning as I walked along the beach gathering seashells, seaweed, wood, and even 1 piece of sea glass! I plan on using my findings in my art for the calendar journal RR this month.
