Paint Party Friday

It's Paint Party time again, thanks to

Kristin and Eva, our hard-working hosts.

Both classes were cancelled this week so I

have done very little art. I am showing a

mixed media background I made on a

newspaper flyer. Love the colors and the

sparkle but not so crazy about the design.

I should have done something different

with those huge off white blobs. (Like cover them 

up with paint - which I may still do.)

I did make a bunch of cards to send out

from the church to the homebound members

and to the people who are sick and a few

who were having birthdays. I only took

this photo of what I worked on. It's

for a house warming occasion. I used a

patterned paper for a background, constructed

the house from other patterned papers, and

used raised stickers I got on clearance at AC Moore.

I did manage to obtain a photo of the family reunion

in North Carolina celebrating my aunt's 100th

birthday. It was a wonderful time of reuniting

and meeting members that I had never met.

I was the oldest there (after the honoree) and

am in the blue jacket right behind my aunt.

And my wonderful surprise at Easter was the 

gorgeous basket of flowers my son and daughter-in-law

gave  me to plant in pots for my back porch.

and a card size watercolor I did tonight...
(none of my screen colors look as bright and vivid as the real things)
