Summer Workshops 2013

This summer I took a couple of workshops. You can see some of my photos here Workshop 2013. The years not over yet so I hope to take more.

Art work and famous people

Last night I had a dream that Valerie Bertinelli bought a piece of art from me. I was so excited! Too bad it was only a dream. This brings me to a question. Has anyone ever sold a piece of art work to anyone famous? I would love to hear your stories so please share.
I actually almost sold a piece to Meredith Vieira at a craft show many years ago. Said she would think about it but never came back (sad face).

Mystery Caravan Swap

A few weeks ago I was part of a swap held by a group on Facebook called mixed media art on Facebook. We created a "mystery caravan". I just want to share some of the great piece that were made.
This is the one I made for Ivy Wolfe Small.

and this is the one I received from her.

 

Some others that were done.

little BIG news

I have mentioned in past postings that my youngest daughter was born premature (28 weeks). She has Cerebral Palsy but is high functioning. 
To most of you, when your child losses a tooth at 7.5 it isn't a big deal. Hope's baby teeth came in later then the average child's. Feels like we have been waiting forever for a tooth to come out. Well today it happened. Congrats Hope!

SIMPLICITY

Hi everyone, 
I have been working pretty hard (maybe i could work a little harder) on keeping my word on producing more artwork this year. But I haven't been that bad. I have been trying to list at least one new item a week on either etsy or eBay. You can check my etsy shop to see what I have listed and on the 20th I will be posting on eBay a small painting nibblefest art contest. this months theme is Domestic Animals.
Meanwhile, I am a member of a ning site called Community Thrive. It's about mixed media. They had a word challenge, and the word was simplicity. This is what I did.
