For my art group, the Pointy Hat Art Posse. I thought that I would have some fun with my nickname in our group....so here is my superhero muse...Letter Woman!
...my son came up with her slogan...what a clever kid!
You can see that she is in much better shape than I am, and has better hair.

Meet Me At The Garden Gate

meet me at the garden gate, originally uploaded by sapphire252.

In response to Funky Art Queen's Challenge (Link Below) - which was to create with gel pens on dark paper. When I looked at this paper, it reminded me of a starry night. I thought I would draw a garden gate, using a combination of some of the designs I created for my new More Delightful Doodles class. Using gel pens and black paper give the designs a completely different look from the original designs on white paper. I hope you like it!

Inspire Me Thursday -

Creative Challenge - journal page, originally uploaded by sapphire252.

The challenge this week was to try to do something in a bigger format than we are usually use to. I am use to working on ATC's, and until now, my art journals have not been bigger than 5x8. This is a page in a new journal that I have started, which is 8 1/2 x 11.
I am trying to do more pages in a diary type format, because I love to look back on these pages months and years later.

Springtime in Alberta

This is the reason that I have been having such an artful weekend! All of this snow fell here in Edmonton between 11:00 pm on Friday night and this morning.
And yes, that is my picnic table where I like to sketch in the summer time. Guess that won't be happening for a while!
