IF Mesmerizing

hello to all,
This week I finished the unhappy lady in the white bougainvilleas... I am adding this to paint party friday as well as IF for the theme" mesmerizing". She didn't start off that way, I was only thinking of a sad girl full of longing but then she got this different mood started.



I didn't finish the needlefelting though. Just not enough time, a week breezes by way too fast. Most of my painting this week was on my bedroom wall instead of on paper! It's now a nice gray/violet, I love it even if my husband doesn't.

 I hope to have my sketchbook for the sisterhood of the trveling sketchbook done soon, maybe a day or two. Then there's the unicorns vs. zombies game going on soon over at Amy's blog, I hope to have something to represent my team on that.

I don't have much new to show as I left my sketchbook at work yesterday, but here's my latest project, well not latest but ongoing with all my other stuff...


It's lots of my paintings from etsy shrunk to 1 inch to make into pendants! I'll show you that next week too...
Since I didn't have too much to shownew this week, here's some of my photos from trying to do a photo a day, actually it's not something I try to do. I just feel obsessed to do it  like painting, or drawing all the stuff in my head, I actually have lists of all the photos I need to take. There's nothing outstanding but I loved the lichen and the goldenrod...




Here's a site to check out that is featuring a link back to my blog because my falling ladies caught the writers eye...
http://www.notebookinhand.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14684
If you check it out there's alot to see there, tons of articles by creative people for creative people. I hadn't seen it until I was contacted by the person who runs the forum... www.notebookinhand.com, but it's totally worth checking out!

Also I was notified one of my latest treasuries was picked  to be  featured on Etsy Treasury Hunter! Check out my treasury here...

    It's been a very creative week, you got a lot done! I love your unhappy lady, even though she is a departure from your usual style. It's gorgeous and dramatic. What inspired you?

    Your lady is hauntingly beautiful in the flowers. I do not know what needle felting is, hmmm, I will have to look it up.
    Hugs and blessings.

    I would probably say that your lady is mysterious and melancholic. I love the textures your created to do the hair as well as those strong shadows. It is really lovely!

    I'm sure your work will make wonderful pendants. I too expected to see the falling ladies but pleasantly surprise wit the Unhappy Lady. Makes you wonder what is it that is making her sad. Great painting. Have a wonderful weekend.

    Love all of your creations; your lady is certainly pensive or anxious looking, but lovely against the white flowers.

    The unhappy lady in the white bougainvilleas is definitely my favorite of your recent IF entries.
    Very nice.
