I have been neglecting my jewelry making lately in lieu of digital graphics (my current passion/obsession). These vessels have been on my bead table for the last few weeks, wating to be made into pendants. And I finally finished them: These vessel pendants can be found in my Etsy Shop. They even come with their own […]

I found this week’s challenge to be a lot of fun. I asked my daughter to draw a tangle for me: And this is what I came up with (do you see the creature in there?): I did this during my daughter’s physical therapy. Since I had my camera (to take the “before” tangle), I took some […]

Addie is giving away these very cute bugs and grapes and we are to make freebies with them: All the other designers/participants have made very nice elements and kits. I thought it would be fun to […]

Drowning could be construed as drowning in debt, drowning in sorrow, drowning in love, etc., or literally drowning in water. I thought I would reverse things a bit for this theme: A fish drowning in open air. I am not too pleased with this, but I couldn’t think of anything better at the moment. Credits: […]

The theme “Hunted” could mean a lot of things. I decided to use good old “Red” for this challenge: I used cute vintage book graphics of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf to keep this theme upbeat and light. The creepy background adds a bit of contrast. I also gave Red a guiding […]

This is what I put in the birdie trinket box I made for my mother last week: I made the little birds from paper clay – I still have quite a bit left over from the Izannah Walker doll (I am making progress). The earrings have pressed glass flowers and fresh water pearl dangles, and […]

This weeks assignment was artists choice. We were to work on a missed assignment, or one that presented a challenge for us. Well, I was the recipient of April’s drawing lab prize; a very nice set of colored pencils, eraser, and handmade journal from Jeannie. So, I decided to do an assignment where I could […]

My favorite dreams are about flight. I don’t often dream of flying, but when I do, it is really enjoyable. In this scene, I am imagining a young girl falling asleep while reading a book about fairies. She is dreaming that she is the fairy queen, taking flight on a flower chariot drawn by butterfiies. […]

Well, guess who came to live with us on Mother’s day? Pinkie and Blue! They are more Lilac and Peppermint, but after my recent visit to The Huntington, I decided to name them Pinkie (right) and Blue (left) :-). Apparently there are local Blythe Meets from time to time – I will have to try and attend […]

This week, Rick and Maria of Zentangle came up with a new tangle called “Oof“. Since I have been thinking “garden & flowers” lately, I decided to incorporate a flower into this weeks challenge: “Oof” was not that simple to draw – for me. My initial diamonds were a bit misaligned, so the overall “Oof” […]

I planted two beds of strawberries in my garden last year. They survived the winter, and actually spread. I was probably supposed to thin them somewhere along the way… oh well: The strawberries even jumped the planter – I guess they are a bit invasive. The berries are small but delicious! Greek plain yogurt, pure […]

Have a wonderful day everyone! And Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there 🙂 This is part of a 6′ posterboard Mother’s Day card that my children made for me last year. My eldest son just finished finals and is home now for the summer. My younger son came home for the weekend, he […]
