This week...

I gave up trying to do my post friday with all of bloggers troubles... but here' s what I made this week...I made a little needelfelted "belly bird" like my little paintings. It's alpaca  except for the belly and beak. 


I started a few little fairy worlds inside an antique canning jar lid, that I posted part of on wednesday, but I haven't finished them yet... maybe next week...

My daughter made a snake, Balthasar...

Both are available in her shop...

And I worked just a bit on the palette... I haven't had much time to work on it as it's much more of a project to get out , much more involved than grabbing a needle and sitting on the couch while I work. I even brought it home, (it had been at my mother's to keep it out of my son's grasp) but that hasn't given me much more time. I have to make it a priority soon as the deadline is 2 weeks away...



I still have to blend the purple up into the light blue adding clouds as I go. I know I should have done that at the very beginning but like I said, I think backwards with watercolors...
then to finish the faces and add some more ribbons and the birds.... OK, I'm panicking!

Don't forget to check out paint party friday, fiber arts friday, creative friday, crafty friday and whimsical wednesday... Have a good weekend!
