Latest art

This is my latest piece of art that I created tonight. It's a 3/4 view of the face

and man is that hard to do. I'm pretty happy with how she turned out. Of course I have a pile of erasing scraps all over me and the table--but after several attempts it all worked out. Sorry the paper is a little

warped since it is still a bit wet. Thanks for taking a look.

What I've been up to

This is what I have been up to lately.  Ashley and John bought me an art class for Christmas and so I've been working on that.  I am loving it. Thanks Ashley and John!  It's called Magical, Mythical Makings and it's given by Tam LaPorte at Willowing.ning.com.  It is a a wonderful  class and our first assignment was to work in our art journals and to draw and paint our Goddess on canvas.  We were to choose a name, color scheme, and various things  and go from there.  My Goddess's name is Aine (Awn-yuh)  and her story is quite interesting, that's why I chose her.  So here she is meet Aine.  I'm quite happy with her (which is amazing, I usually am never happy with my work) Thanks for taking a look!

New wreath for Linda's house

You really should see my sister Linda's house decorated for Christmas.  She and Harry go all out and it is just gorgeous.  The other night we created a new wreath to hang over her fireplace.  I must say that it turned out just gorgeous and Linda sent me a picture of it so I decided to do a post on it.  Her home is done in Pink of course and teal and is just beautiful.  Maybe I'll go down and take pictures and post a visual tour here....... Maybe....

So here is the new wreath. 

Print your own owl calendar

You can print your own owl calendar for 2011 right here.  They are so cute!   When I saw this I had to print one in honor of my Mom.  My daughter also has a love for owls and will enjoy this page.  Here you go kiddo!

If you are an owl lover too, you can go and pick your owl for each month and save it to your computer to print!

So cute!  Have fun :)

Crafting weekend

Wow!  I haven't been here in a long time.....Just wanted to show all of you what craftiness I have been up to.

I made this too cute little bat centerpiece.  You can make your own buy going to this link and following the step by step instructions by Jennifer Beason the guest designer over at Ally Scraps.  My bat is a bit different then hers, but that's why he's my kooky little bat!  I've also been making a few banners to hang on my hutch.  Hope you like them.  I've made some Halloween cards too but didn't take pics of them.  I hope all of you have a nice rest of the weekend.  I'm off to decorate my house for Halloween.  I better hurry or I'll miss the holiday completely. Please excuse my dining room table I'm transitioning from Fall decor to Halloween. Hope the rest of your weekend is a nice one.

Thanks for taking a look.
