Animals for PPF

The watercolor class assignment was a goat.

And at home I painted my son's cat Bob.

I worked in my art journal at Saturdays mixed media class.

I'm joining the party at Paint Party Friday.

Paint Party Friday

Watercolor class started back up with 8 new students, none

of whom had ever painted before. That left four of us on our own

since the teacher had to explain the basics to the newbies. She 

gave us a photo of a water lily to paint. Here is mine.

Then I did a few faces, mostly in watercolor, 

Then finally, I made a hand puppet for the children's

Sunday school activity this Sunday. They are  studying

how Joseph forgave his brothers for selling him into slavery.
(Genesis 37 - 45)

My puppet is Joseph and is made of a  brown lunch bag

This is my post for Paint Party Friday.

With the Yahoo security breach, I have tried to change my password.
So far it does not accept my new password and I have to keep
getting in by getting a "key" from Yahoo.
If you don't ever hear from me again, you'll know
I have been accidentally locked out of my blog
and yahoo account. What a pain!

OK. The Yahoo password change worked.
I'm back online and into posting on my blog again!

Two Cats

For various reasons I did not have any art class in the last week.

I also did not do much painting, just a lot of greetings cards

using the Big Kick. Here are two cats I painted on Strathmore 

watercolor cards. I am joining Paint Party Friday with these.

This 'n' That

I used my art time this week playing with my new Big Kick,

and the new dies I have gotten recently. I made a number of

greetings cards and had friend Laura over to make cards.

However I did work in my mixed media journal and 

my double spread pages are below. The exercise was to

alter a face found in a magazine ad. I chose one from Macy's.

Maybe you will recognize the ad; maybe not.

Hint:  she has dark hair and dark eyes in the original ad.

I also did a phone doodle while talking with a friend:

And here are a couple of cards I stamped

using the Frugal Crafter's video and technique.

Hope you will join the party and come

visit all the artists' blogs on

Paint Party Friday.

Paint Party Friday

Watercolor class is over for a short while but I've been

working on a few things at home. I am posting them

on Paint Party Friday's blog.

Here is a rock/creek scene done after watching the

Frugal Crafter's video. I didn't follow her painting exactly.

Next is a beagle I painted. I am not able to draw animals.

This one was copied from a book on dogs. I sent it as a card to 

my next door neighbor who loves dogs.

I did a couple of very quick splashes of color, 

which I turned into flowers on greeting cards.

Here is a spread from my journal page in

Jo's mixed media class.

And lastly I am showing a card I made using my

new die cutting machine. The swirl was cut from

Ghirardelli® candy packaging.
