I feel like this is not a legitimate entry since I have only a little of paint in this post. The boxes are hand stamped and constructed of 2 pieces of cardstock each. I am showing only four of the ones I made. Inside are the Christmas gifts for the wonderful ladies in the Bible study class I lead each week.
Tonight our granddaughter who is doing research for her PhD in Chemistry at Cal Berkeley called us to wish us Happy Thanksgiving. Before I knew it I had doodled this girl, which I later painted with watercolors. I decided that I'd show this off at Paint Party Friday.
beautiful boxes! I think its wonderful for you to tell us what inspired the sketch, its lovely, makes me wonder if she is your grand daughter!

Those boxes are just amazing -- and I love your girl=doodle. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteWonderful gift boxes, and I believe any artistic endeavor qualifies for PPF even if it doesn't entail actual painting. The sketch of your granddaughter is so lively looking, as I imagine your telephone conversation was.
ReplyDeleteThe stamped boxes are very pretty, and the sketch of your granddaughter is precious.
ReplyDeleteYour granddaughter is wonderfully done. I just switched off the 'post verification' on my blog. You are right-it is so hard on the eyes, but I hate all the spam I get. Can't win can we? LOL. Happy PPF.
ReplyDeleteLovely gift boxes and I like your cute girl!
ReplyDeleteSmashing gift bags Faye and am sure your class will love them. Loving your happy girl. Enjoy the weekend and Happy PPF, hugs Annette x
ReplyDeletePS Sorry am late visiting, but after art class I fell asleep for the entire afternoon.

ReplyDeleteWonderful bag, the ladies will love them. Also your painting is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteLove your boxes and your girl doesn't look like a doodle to me. She looks like a happy painting. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteOh Faye I'm sure your ladies will be delighted with their boxes and the surprises inside. So much care has gone into them so how can anyone not apprecite them. Your girly doodle looks pretty good to me to be a doodle. I'm wondering if it resembles your grand-daughter in anyway?
