Doodle and Cards - PPF

This is a ballpoint doodle I made in a waiting room this week.
I colored it with pencils when I got home. This is my entry for



These two cards were made by the same method as
the cards from a couple of days ago, using waxed
paper on glossy card stock. The surface was colored
by sponging Distress Ink on it.

New Cards I made this Week


On three of these cards I used the crumpled waxed paper and hot iron technique.
Some have Martha Stewart punch outs. Some of the flowers were made by me
using my flower punches. Other embellishments were bought at the Dollar Store.


More Acrylic Painting - PPF


Here is my first painting where I have deliberately put green on the face
and body. I made a background using the Splitcoast Stamper method of
doing a homemade mono print. I used glass to put the acrylic paints on
and then pulled off a smear of colors for my background. Then I just
painted this face freely onto the background. I think she is really ugly
and is a bit cross-eyed, but this was fun to do. It is my entry for Paint Party Friday.

Paint Party Friday - acrylic paintings

Here is one I did this week in acrylics after I found some peach colored
paints to use as the base for skin. Below is another acrylics painting I did
this week where I had to dream up skin color from the limited colors I own.
These are my entries for Paint Party Friday this week.

Word Art Wednesday


This was an actual sunset that I snapped a couple of years ago,
I have superimposed the scripture for Word Art Wednesday on it.

Sketch from a Photo



The sketch above is the original done in watercolor pencils.
The version below is the enhances version, changed with Photoshop Elements.
I like the Photoshopped one best. I need to learn to do colors bolder.

Merrie's wonderful beadwork!


Here are two bracelets that Merrie has beaded for me.
They are perfectly gorgeous in real life.

Girl in Yellow Hat.


This is done in watercolor pencils and is a detail from a larger painting.

Something strange is going on.
I get 3 times as many views as I do comments.
I know some of my stuff does not rate a favorable comment.
However, every now and then some of it does.
I have set this up so anyone can comment as anonymous.
And that will stay unless I get spam or unfriendly comments.


Here is how to do it:

Under the picture/post, where it says "posted by Faye",
there is the word "comments". It may have a number beside it.
Click on the "comments" and it will take you to a separate box.
Write your comment in the box.
Where it says "comment as" there is an up and down arrow.
Scroll down to find a category you can comment in.
Hit publish and you are in.
