Splash!

I'm off to meet up with my best friends in San Simeon in just a few days. Going to  the beach! Splash! We are going to tour Hearst Castle and spend some quality time together, spending the whole week down there. We are spending 2 days at the Castle. They have been very ill & Praises to God for their current health & us being able to get together. I am so excited to see them. I am hoping to get lots of inspiration at the beach, lungs full of salt air & sandy toes.
She is bringing me an attachment to my embroidery sewing machine that will enable me to download thousands of free embroidery designs and if that wasn't enough she embroidered me a tapestry! I can't wait to see it! Here is a picture of it, although I don't know what colors she used yet, that's a surprise. She did say that the thread looks like silk so it's gotta be gorgeous no matter what color it is. It was fashioned after a tapestry in the Palace of Versailles by Anitagoodesign. It's going to look so good in my woodsy home and it will be treasured most of all because it was made with lots of love for me.

 I just finished another "Little Swimmer" I get lots of requests for these! I just listed her in my Etsy shop.  I also finished a few mermaids one a commission. When I get back home I plan to list lots of pieces on Ebay to make room for more & de-stash my studio, it looks like a craft bomb exploded in there! Have a wonderful week!

Finishing What I Started

"Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled"

"Compassion"
 
6 Months ago I started these 3 little paintings of Jesus.  All 3 left abandoned on my easel. I'd see them/Him as I walked right by. I'd stop and pick at one now & then but haven't been able to really sit down and work on them until now. Using the acrylic paint almost like watercolors, I lost track of how many layers there are.  Things so often turn out different than when I start out.
