Gnat

Thanks to Hurricane Irene, I had the day off.  And I had the attention span of a gnat...sooo I put that to good use.  I plonked myself down in the basement (after 5-6 trips up and down for one more thing) and started playing.
Spilled all out.  And yeah, that is my old Dressy Bessy doll.  She keeps popping up.



I found this beautiful journal packed in a box and have been carrying it around in my art bag.  Not journaling in it, just carrying it around.  As obvious from previous posts, I don't follow through as I'd like.

Today I just started.  Painted the title page and it tore in two places.  Learning curve~take it easy on the water if it's not watercolor paper:/ (Lisa~ yes I know)



I had a GREAT time ripping a page out of photography book to make this.  Who doesn't like a picnic?


Of course, each page had to dry, so what did I do in between?  First, a thank you note for two of my students ( a latelongoverdue thank you note) who had given me a kalanchoe plant.  I have added ribbon and have to make the envelope, now it just needs delivery.

Lastly, because that needed to dry at intervals, I started playing with clay.  Had been wanting to make a mermaid and well, I wasn't in the mood to wait for paint to dry.  
  And that my friends, about sums it up.  3 in a day.  Can ya give me halleluiah???
