Where did the Time go this Week?

It seems impossible that it is time for Paint Party Friday

again. My, how fast this week has flown by. Thanks to

Eva and Kristin for hosting this amazing party each week.

Here is what I did in Monday's watercolor class.

And here is another phone doodle:

Last Saturday we worked in our journals in Jo's

mixed media class at A C Moore.  Here is what I did:

Today Laura came to do crafts with me.

We made a lot of die cuts for her to use in making cards.

Then we painted. 

These are our intuitive paintings.

A  watercolor I made today.

Hot, Humid Weather!

When it's too hot and humid to be outside, having a

place and the time to do art is a lifesaver!

This week's watercolor class was not a success for me.

I saw a few of the other students just taking off on

their own, not trying to follow the photo or sketch

that the instructor provided. The sketch was done in

very light pencil and copied so it was undecipherable.

The photo didn't look sharp to me but it may have been

my eyes. I made an attempt in class. Then I came home

and made mine into a pen and ink plus watercolor,

instead of just the watercolor painting.

Here's as far as I got in class:

And here is what I finished it up as when I got home:

And another gladiola painting for a birthday card.

Then I did a few mountain scenes:

My luncheon turned out to be a big success with the

ladies loving their bookmarks that I had made.

Sorry I missed last week but I really was too tired

to visit so I decided to skip the party at Paint Party Friday.

However, here is one last watercolor done in last week's class.

And a phone doodle from the call from my

sister in Arkansas. 

Happy Paint Party Friday!

Join us over at Paint Party Friday. Kristin and Eva

work hard every week to give us this blog

to show what art we have been doing.

When I saw our class project in the Watercolor Class Monday,

I cringed. It was an animal we were painting. A ram. The main object 

of that lesson was getting the wool to look soft and fluffy.

Other than that and the phone doodle below, I didn't do much

art this week except for making greetings cards.

The kaleidoscope  painting below was something

I created in my mixed media (acrylics) class for my journal.

She wanted us to design a mandala. Since I am not

"into" mandalas, I am calling this a kaleidoscope image.

 I did make a load of bookmarks for my Bible study ladies
who will be coming to my house for lunch in a week.
Here is what I made. They were very labor intensive,
much more than they appear to be.

And finally a WIP of my daughter-in-law's. She is making
this steppingstone for a wedding gift. She poured the
cement and embedded this silver picture frame of a
car and the "jewels". She is going to draw a bride and groom
inside the car and put their first names on the steppingstone.
