What a Fabulous Summer Journey


    I can't believe that our "Summer of Color" is finished. Time flies when you're having fun. The artwork was amazing and meeting new and kindred spirits was beyond priceless. Many thanks to Kristin of "Twinkle, Twinkle" for hosting this incredible event.


   This week was about birthday cards. Next week I hope to start on the projects that I have racing around in my head inspired from all the beautiful work that I have seen over the past ten weeks.

   Happy Birthday Dylan!

   Happy Birthday Ian!

   Happy First Birthday Larrah!!!




  Looking forward to our "Summer of Ice Cream Colors" in 2012!

                  And Then There Was Orange !!!!!

   Here we are at our last week for "Summer of Color" projects. It was a wonderful process of making art and meeting new artists. 

   It's been a crazy busy week so I'm sharing a couple of garden photos and an art piece that was done a little while ago. 

   This was an important project for me. Orange was a color I wasn't comfortable with. I had to pick a crayon out of a bag and create something with whatever color I chose. I just knew that I would end up with orange. By the time it was finished I had gotten over my dislike of working with orange. Please stop by "Twinkle Twinkle" to visit all the wonderful artists from "The Summer of Color".

                              Purple !!!!!!


   This week was all about purple. Purple is not a color that I work with much. It took awhile but I muddled through and this is what I ended up with:

  There is texture and color all around. 

   I also managed to hang the nameplates of all the grandchildren. It still needs a little tweaking but at least it is finally off my art table. Now on to orange!!!!!

                                Red !!!!!!!


  This week is all about red! Lucky for me I was able to finish this before I left for vacation. I had a wonderful week with all the kiddies, but now it's back to work!

  Red  was the perfect color for Colby's nameplate. He is always on the go and full of personality. Now all the grandchildren have nameplates. I know how I want to hang them but I can't find the hardware that I want. It's packed away and I've been going bonkers looking for it. It's perfect so I won't give up until I find it. I have a mission. Thank you "Summer of Color" for giving me a deadline or these would have taken me forever to get to. Be sure to check Kristin's She's our amazing hostess and there are many more fabulous artists's work to see.
