I was craving the cool feel of clay today. I have started relief domes done by a new method I just learned. I’ll keep posting my progress.

I worked in the gallery all day today. I had high hopes of working on jewelry when I came home, but I was not in the mood. I had just got a new paint palette a few days ago and wanted to set it up with my paints instead.
Everything is so clean and pristine – I can hardly wait till it’s all mucky’d up. I love used palettes that glow with layers and layers of paint spatters, smears, and strokes. They are the signs of business and creativeness. It’s day will come :)

Have you got a messy, used, experienced, seasoned palette? Take a pic and post the link here :)

I’m a day late taking pictures because the light was too bad last night. This is the last of my cards for a while… I’m pretty well stocked up. These little gems have ‘snow’ on them. Too cute.


Tonight I hope to get to my beads and work on some jewelry.
I love the pom poms but they are a bit too big for this stamp. I’m using some anyway because they are cute. I need some time to work on my art or jewelry, but all I can squeeze in right now are my cards.

Here we are at day 4. I missed day 3 because I was out of town all day, but I did shop for art supplies, so that counts right? LOL
Today I’m working on greeting cards. Here are some in progress. A stamp by Memory Box with watercolors. Today I ordered teeny tiny pom poms today for thier hats. OMG they will so cute. I’ll show pics when they are complete.

I have a wee bit of purple to add in yesterday’s painting, under a flower, on the advisement of my teacher, but I’m not working on that today.
Today I started a new painting… because it was class day. Today we did wet on wet. I forgot to sketch something out ahead of time, so I decided to whip up something cute for my g-baby, Ava. Maybe she would like an owl for her wall?
OK, so this is NOT finished… it’s about mid-way. Several layers of color have been gingerly painted on all-over wet paper, ‘willy nilly’ style. Then I started to define the owl a bit more, bringing out his eyes a bit. Next I’ll do leaves and maybe some fun flower shapes on it’s body. For class we were suposed to leave this strictly paint on paper, but I might have to add some fun things with a pen and maybe a dash of acrylic. I’m a mixed-media gal after all, so I gotta do what the heart tells me, lol.

I’ll post more, next week when I get around to finishing it.
Peace out and THANK YOU for visiting!
I’m doing the Art Every Day for the month of November challenge. Read all about it and join in here.
Well I thought I was finished this watercolor, but I can’t leave well enough alone. I’m still working on it and this is what I have so far…

… Jan * in full swing
… Feb * I pretty much had a migraine every single day
… Mar * so busy playing catch up in work and life – pictures were scarce and time to upload them was worse
… April * so out of habbit, but wanting to start again
I was trying to take a photo a day and when I could not (I litterally could not see from the migraines and high blood sugar) and I thought I ruined it and would have to abandon the project . But why? I am doing this for myself, I didn’t comit to a group or anything… sometimes there is more than one photo I want to show… I can’t beat myself up when I’m too sick… Why am I making all these rules for myself? So I’ve decided to spend Sunday uploading the photos that I’ve taken and continue on…
My son Tyler and I want to do this, this year. I have a link above in the menu, and in the side bar to the right. You’ll be able to follow my pics there.
Break out your cameras and do it to – it’s fascinating to see the snippets of your life, down the road.
