PPF Pastels

Hi Everyone!

Wow another busy busy week. I have not had time, again, to get much art done. However, I did get some homework done in my pastel class. I really do love the pastels. We are doing blending with different types of blending tools. Some of them are just things you have around the house. For me it is using my fingers and hands. I think I  am liking this so much because it is kind of a messy art, and I tend to be a messy artist. Hee hee hee. Anyway here is one of my homework pieces. Just make shapes and color them in. I had so much fun with this. One thing I am going to invest in are pastel pencils. 

Well that is it for now. I hope you are all doing well and creating with passion.

PPF Pastels Beading

Hi Everyone!

This week has been full. Had to go to Coos Bay one day. Then the next day off in the other direction to Salem. We took some time and went to the Oregon Gardens. Not many blooms this time of the year but it was nice. Went to an Appreciation Tea for the library. That was very nice. I think I told you I made a mini top hat along with some of the other girls. I got lots of compliments on mine and people were amazed that I made it.

Saturday we are going to a BBQ, the host is part of the Art Committee and has invited all of us. Should be fun. I did manage a bit of art this week.

 I am loving pastel classes. 

Me and my top hat. I know, I don't very often show a photo of me but here I am. 

Making faces. This face is flat.

I really like this one.

Oh I did some beading too.

I made the cab. It is leather under glass. 

Then used some of the same 

leather to back the piece.

Have a great weekend.

Hi Everyone!

Happy Paint Party Friday. I feel like I got some art done this week. First off watercolor class is over and we have started pastels. Sighhhhh... I am so glad. I am just not good with WC. I have not worked much in pastels but so far I LIKE IT!!! I can see the potential with this medium. Here is my first piece. He needs a name, so leave one with your comment.

 This was a warm up piece.We had certain color we had to use.

I am also working on this painting that is acrylic, ink, and pastels. Please click on it to see all the faces in the background. This should be finished by the weekend.

On Saturday the library is having an appreciation Tea for all the volunteers at the library. I had mentioned to a few ladies that we should dress up and make mini top hats. Here is mine. The doll is Lucy, I made her about 25 or 30 years ago. She makes the best model. LOL

PPF Mini Top Hats

Hi Everyone!

Well I have been beyond busy and actually simply forgot about PPF last week. This week is not much better. I like being busy, however, I don't like not having time for art. Sighhhh.... 

On the 15th of this month the Siuslaw Library, where I am on the art committee,  is having an appreciation Tea for all of the volunteers. I asked if we should dress up with flower hats and fancy dresses. I was told I could. So several of the ladies came over to make mini top hats. It was fun but not what I really wanted. So I am making another one. We are also hitting the thrift stores to find something uhhmmm appropriate for the Tea. One gal has already found a dress. I am gong tomorrow so I hope I can find something too. I am giving this hat to one of the volunteers that couldn't make it to my house. It has a clip on the bottom to hold it on her hair, so it sits crooked on the table.

I am really am very fortunate. I have friends that when they decide they no longer want art supplies they give them to me. YaYY. Yesterday I received these solid oil paint sticks. They are so cool and I think I will use them a lot. 

 The last for tonight is this very strange painting I did. Not sure what or where I was going with this is. LOL

Have a great weekend everyone.
