This week has been a scorcher and today is over 100° F. After a few
errands outside, I have now sequestered myself in my airconditioned
house, trying to get the muse awakened.
So far, all I want to do is read.

I broke down and bought a hand operated Big Kick
die cutting machine. Here is a card I made using it.
The cardstock is glossy so there is a glare.

Then on Monday I had watercolor class. Here is what I did.
And now here are a couple of spreads from my new journal
that I am working on in mixed media class.
These are my entries for Paint Party Friday. Thanks to all
who visited my blog last week, even those who didn't
leave a comment.
Where do you do your classes? Online or a "live" class? Looks like fun! Stay cool!
ReplyDeleteYour work is beautiful again. Have fun with your big shot, I love mine! It was very hot here, but has thankfully cooled off a bit, I don't have A/C! Happy PPF, hugs, Valerie

ReplyDeletea super variety of great art Faye! Aren't those machines fun? Lovely landscape in watercolor.Love all the layers of colors in your mixed media journal! Sounds like a great way to spend time when it's SO hot outside:) Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteWow lots of beautiful art. My daughter got a die cutter and can't stop using it. Quite addictive. LOL Have a happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I really love your colourful mixed media journal spreads. They look really pretty, especially the house with garden! It all fit in really well with the mixed background.
ReplyDeleteYou always have such beautiful artwork for us Faye,
ReplyDeleteI've never used a die cutter but it certainly looks amazing, as does your watercolours.
I should send you some of our cool Bonnie Scotland air to help cool you down.
Happy PPF to you.
Love those mountains in your watercolour piece. And how fun that you're artjournaling again! Great spreads!
ReplyDeletethose journals are absolutely divine! And you are lucky you at least have air conditioning lol
ReplyDeleteit was 112 the other day, and not much cooler today either, ugh!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful spreads! So colorful and happy!
Love the journal entries. Great colors!
ReplyDeleteI love your art, Faye, you have such wonderful talent! I cannot stand high heat and humidity, and we get a fair amount of it here in Montreal, Canada. So on the cooler and comfortable days I love to take long walks in nature. Since we have been having a few of these (thankfully) this summer I am enjoying those walks! Keep up the amazing work, and thank you so much for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteYour muse has definitely shown up this week :) Love the watercolors <3
ReplyDeletelovely journal pages and nice watercolour landscape :)
