Valentines 2012

I admit that it has been a LONG time since I have added anything to my blog.  Thank you to all of you have stuck with me through my dry spell! 

The truth is that I have been creating, although not as much as I would like to.  The soul-feeding and the self-care took a bit of a hiatus over the last couple of months, but I am back on track, and taking care of what my soul needs of me, which means that I should have more to share with you in the months to come.  So to start, here are some Valentines that I created for 2012.  I am still loving collage, although I want to add some more of my own drawings and lettering to the cards in the future.  What do you think?  Stay tuned!

Garage Sale Treasure Hunt!

 Last Saturday morning, I went on a treasure hunt, traveling from garage sale to garage sale (and even to a few estate sales) searching for pieces of old jewelery and odds and ends that I could use on my art cards.


 As you can see, I was very successful! I can't to start adding these bits and pieces to collages!


I sometimes get funny looks when I make my purchases. Who gets excited over a bag of old keys? I certainly do!

It's HERE!!!

So here it is - my new class! Introducing...FANTASTIC FLORALS!
I can't tell you how much fun it was to spend my time creating all these lovely blooms!  Talk about joy!
I hope you love them as much as I do - 20 pages of detailed instructions on how to create 45 different flowers - including a flower lettering style! For the same price as all of my other classes - $20 Cdn or US.


Like all of my classes, this class in is pdf format - it comes to you through e-mail, so you can work on it at your own pace, with as much (or as little) interaction from me as you like!

Weeds

I am currently experimenting with different types of flowers, as I am working on a new online course, Fabulous Flowers!  These dandelions are one of the flowers that I came up with tonight. 

More Cards!

So due to an accounting error my internet and my cable tv was disconnected from Thursday to Sunday.  I ended up spending the weekend in my art room, watching all of the Godfather movies, and making more cards for the sale I will be in next weekend.  Here are a few that I am particularly proud of...ENJOY!
