PPF 7/27/18

Hi Everyone!

OMG! Seriously I don't know where the days are going. Again I have a week with no art. Everyday I plan on being in the art room and bammmm! my day is gone and nothing created. So again I am showing older art. Hope you don't mind.
Thanks to Eva and Kristen for hosting Paint Party Friday. I am looking forward to seeing what all of you have created.  

These are drawings from the last few years.



This drawing was taken from a photo that was a campaign against child sexual abuse.



  Oh and this is an oldie of me hunting grouse in N. Idaho in the mid 1980s.Yes, I was very much an outdoor girl.

Paint Party Friday, and to all the artists who join in every week. With no new art here is some oldies.

Paint Party Friday 7/13

Hi Everyone!

I have been so busy that I totally forgot about Paint Party Friday. EEEKKKK..... I have been painting, leather sculpting, and getting paper mache pieces made. Today though I will show you finished worked. First is the finished leather piece for my exhibit. I sold one last week and had to get this one ready for show. The white feather shawl is amazing in person. Then I did another chain pull painting. I have also been selling these so want to keep some on hand. Plus they are just so much fun to make. 
A big thanks to Eva and Kristen for hosting PPF.  Now I want to talk about Etsy for a minute. So many shops have and are closing because of all of the horrible changes. I closed my beadwright etsy store over a year ago. I strictly sell of my beadwright.com website. Then I found out that etsy bought Dawanda and all of the sellers there will be transferred over to etsy. Ohhh and by the way etsy just raised their fees by another 43%. If you are closing your etsy shop let me know so I can help advertise for you..... for free through my beadwright newsletter.




Have a great weekend!

Paint Party Friday 7/6

Hi Everyone!
It has been a fun and busy week for me.  I painted the walls and cabinets in my bathroom. I still have to do the countertop.  It will be some artsy project I have in mind. Then I just had to play with the pulled chain technique again. It is so much fun. I look forward to seeing what all of you have created this week. Thanks to Eva and Kristen for hosting Paint Party Friday








Have a great weekend!

More fun art

Hi Everyone!

I love it when I find some type of art that is fun and messy and ends up being really pretty. This is not my idea but I am trying to make it my own. This week of PPF I will explain how I do this process. Again it is so much fun. Here are today's pieces
