Hawks

isn't she the fattest little thing you've ever seen? he is building the nest. watched him pull limbs out of my dogwood for the nest. soon there will be babies.

Hawk Eye

this mother hawk has built her nest in a pine tree in our front yard.  my hubby spotted her sitting in a tree on our side yard. she is beautiful.

DrawingLab

some good, some not-so-good one continuous line drawing, face sketched, kitty not-so-good until i filled it in with fur, the elephant looks anorexic. interesting book.

SEAS 1 Peter 5:7

i added my journaling to this page, chose 1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your cares on Him for He cares for you.
this is for my FB Page Class where the prompt was "Peace".

Fascinated By Tatoos

a aj i am working on possibly for my son. not finished yet.

Seas

journal page - sketched the little girl then planned the beach and seas around her. watercolor crayon

Puppy Poppy Blossom

workshop2 adding extensions - you can't tell it but the lab puppy and poppy has been added to the page. under the puppy it reads "he sat and waited all day for the poppy to bloom". i added texture with light molding past to the background page with watercolors.  linda has really inspired me and has my creative juices in overdrive.

Shadow Work and Extensions

in workshop 2 Linda encouraged us to add extensions, foldouts to make our jrl pages more interactive. so my Love Child from workshop1 became "Twins".  here she is folded out.

and here she is folded into the page.  she now has bright orange glasses with journaling on the inside of her dress. i'm not finished yet! loving linda's class.

Joys of Joy

joyfulploys i love this blog i found through a friend on my journal class. she does beautiful work. and i think i will repurpose this pic of my artwork "joy" from reading Taking Flight.

Lady of Pearl

here is the final triptych panel.

Faith is My Key

here is another part of the trade being presented tomorrow.  UU might recognize her heart and above that is a face she sent to me.  thank you UU, you are so generous.  Another artist friend sent me the cloth scribble word "faith" which i added a small key over the "i" to give more texture.  grandma's buttons are here too.

Crazy Morning

well have i been asleep, i don't think so.  taxes, taaaaaaaaaaaaaaxes in my head. numbers and more numbers

i think i'm like the Dr. Zeuss characters with all the thingies going off in my head - can i art now, please!!!

my class with Linda Blinn just started - here is my pocket for my Caribbean trip in April to collect ephemera along the way.  i love Puerto Rico and was fascinated by the wall thus my cover.
