another friday already

Happy paint party friday!
Happy fiber art friday!
Happy creative friday!
Happy crafty friday!
And since the theme of creative everyday was blue for the month of July I have a blue post...

This is the latest watercolor painting I just finished. I also managed a small mini canvas...

And this one I've had finished for awhile but just added to my etsy shop. I spent some time this week updated my shop with better pictures and such and found a few paintings I had never posted.

Here's the latest addition to my desk at work, a co worker made the cute little mommy pot!

Blue skies!

And  a blue felt car keychain in my daughters etsy shop. we've both been busy, not with needlefelting this week, but with sewing stuffed creatures. I'll have to wait and show you those next week...

                                       
Now off to see a few posts on some other blogs! BYE! and thanks for stopping by.

sisterhood sketchbook...

This week's been too hot to do too much. I did finish my pages in Jaime's sketchbook. They're so much fun to get in the mail each month, especially as they get fuller and fuller... I won't show all the art in it before me but here's Jaime's first spread to introduce herself....

So cool!

 and next Brandy from artbrat.blogspot did May's page and Lisa from Pritistudio.blogspot did a pull out section for June....Both are awsome (although I don't think my photos of them do them justice) and wonderful to look over before starting on my spread for July!

This month I didn'd do a spread of art and a spread to explain it as usual, I did 2 spreads full of watercolor words of what I think about when I think about July, with a falling lady thrown in just because!...

Happy paint party friday and creative friday  and crafty friday to everyone! Oh wait, I should add some of Brandy's needlefelting as I didn't do any again.... she's won another treasury challenge and is using this cool brooch...

 and she also made this very cool breakfast play set of felt!

Happy fiberarts friday too!

sunday sketches

I haven't posted to sunday sketches in awhile and I have plenty of sketches in my little black sketchbook, so here' the lastest 2...

another week fly's by...

I managed to finish alot this week... mainly because I'd already started most of it quite abit ago. But it still feels good to finish things...

here's my  submission for paint party friday! I've still got about 5 more in this series I'd like to finish but for now I got these 4 done. They might be destined for a mug design...

                                                                    The berry queen...

                                                                  All things cute....

The wildflower queen...

Not a care...

Next I finished 3 more dioramas at a coworkers request for a birthday gift. She picked the friends one, the wine one I did when I decided I didn't like a watercolor painting I had done so instead of toss it I remade it into an altoid tin diorama. These are fun and addicting... Theses photos don't really show the shadow effect of being raised up with popdots, There's 3 levels in each, like in the last one: each tiny flower is actually cut out and raised above the lady, but it's hard to show.

And for fiberart friday here's my felted necklace I was working on and only had one bead.I'm actually not sure it's done yet, the center bead seems to be asking to be even bigger and bolder and brighter!

And last, for no reason at all......here's a photo of the view from a park where I went to eat lunch the other day...

and of course... Happy crafty friday, creative friday and whimsical wednesday to everyone. See ya next week!

Illustration Friday... Stay

She's hoping these birds will STAY as they make her sooo happy. A wonderful afternoon spent watching them take  flight together! Magical!

I missed many weeks of IF with some great themes but I decided to finish this for this week. Hope you like it!

another fast week...

I missed a week as we were on vacation in a great state park on a tiny lake! so relaxing and quiet! We hiked fished and swam and I sketched a bit in my book, and we made sand castles... well... sand mermaids!.

Not sure what to show this week... I guess I'll go with what a cluttered mess my mind is now that I'm backhome again...
 I have soooo many unfinished watercolors and/or acrylics on brown paper....maybe 30 or so.....

I have started clay belly birds and my son smushed them....

I have been working on some dolls I started a year ago....and the dioramas I showed 2 weeks ago aren't finished yet...

We were given a bag of wool and I made a bead that's hoping to be part of a great, colorful wacky pendant necklace with a big floral center someday....

And on my lunch I went to see some of the other palette's that are now set up around Hammondsport! So many really great ones that I was more than intimidated about mine. Here's just a few of the 50 or so palettes... Prepare to be impressed, although the photos don't really do them justice!...

Have a great week everybody,and hello to all those from whimsical wednesday, and  happy friday to all those at paint party friday, crafty friday, creative friday and Fiberart friday!
