Just fishing...

My daughter fishes for fun and for tasty baked dinners. I fish because I love to get messy with paint.

Journaling

I started a new journal focused on Scripture and the subject of creativity. The second page has a few quotes about creativity from one of my current text books. On a couple of other pages I have scripture alone or scripture with something I've drawn in gel pen. I tried to use water color pencils on the first page and the paper is not able to take the water. You never know till you try.

I even illustrated my husbands sermon. This page is done with oil pastels.

It's Friday

Yeah! I love Friday. People(for the most part) seem happier on Friday. When people in my world are happier it is obviously easier for me to be happy. Yep, I'm a living barometer of the people around me...but I'm workin' on that. I, alone, am responsible for what goes on in my head.

So what was my latest creative venture...I took some used dryer sheets, painted them, cut them up and sewed them together with some beads and added a pin back. Now am I brave enough to wear my new pin in public? George said, "That's weird."

January Art Experiments Challenge

Today is the 8th and I've got three points for the January Art Experiments Challenge.
I played Apples to Apples with daughter and husband (this is a super fun game), I made a homemade card for a friend recovering from surgery, and I made a flannel board inspired from an on-line site. This was my first time buying a piece of wood at "Man Land" aka Menards.
