Lovely water color cards....

Picture


​madelinekerrii has a tutorial on YouTube that I really like so I decided to do it again (for the cards on the right side).

It seems my brain is starting to open up to possibilities. I'm not always having to rely on a tutorial anymore! That makes me very happy because it USED TO BE that if I saw it I could try to create it. Now it seems that I am able to think it and picture it in my mind and create it. As in the images on the left which is a loose rendition of the bay where I live.

Felt like painting today. I really enjoy this tutorial by madelinekerrii on YouTube so I decided to do it in card format.

Beachcombing finds....

Picture









What a great beachcombing day. I found so many interesting pieces of shell today. Added some more wood pieces as well for my mobiles. Now I have great selections to work with.

Planning out a large mobile....

I had a woman ask me to create a mobile for a wall in her house so it had to be fairly big for the section that she wanted. I'm laying out my idea. Once I tie it, it'll be longer than it appears in the picture but at least I'm getting my ideas out. It's got driftwood, seashells, seed pods and even some turtle scales. I need to change up a couple of pieces of driftwood and drill a few holes and then I'll be ready to tie it with a dark brown twine.

​Three more cards in their protective sleeves and ready to go. Seems I'm back in sea glass mode.

Thank you....

Working on some sea glass thank you cards. Since I'm using clear glass on white paper I need to enhance the image. So I trace the shape of the glass onto the card, then I color the shape and glue the glass over it. The color will show through the glass and totally change the appearance from drab to WOW!

How about some water color painting....

Picture





​I think today I will paint. This picture that I had painted from a YouTube tutorial has been on my mind lately. I really like the way it turned out so I'm thinking I will find the tutorial and do this again but on some greeting cards this time.

Sometimes I just get in the zone....

Wow it was the day for making mobiles today! I love it when I get in the zone and everything comes together so quick and easy. Picking my pieces was simple and tying all my knots in the fishing line was extremely easy today- not always the case.

Just a fun, creative day....

Playing with my sea glass.  Had fun today! I love the water skier! This is another first in designs for me. I love that I've found a good use for these "boat" shaped pieces I keep finding.

    Who knew there was an artist lurking within? Certainly not me.

    It started with my Mom giving me some paints that she wasn’t using but I never did anything with them because “I wasn’t artistic” - according to myself. We really need to learn to have a kinder inner voice because I have discovered that apparently I am artistic.
     
    In early 2018 I was introduced to an artist on Instagram ​from Australia who makes the most beautiful art. I looked at it and was truly inspired. I thought how hard can it be to put dots on some rocks. I had never felt that I was artistic at all but this woman has changed me forever! So I began and since that time I have started following even more rock artists to inspire me.

    In late 2019 my sister in law introduced me to another Instagram person who creates coloring books. Drawing is another thing I said I could never do but thanks to the inspiration I am receiving from this woman and through various social media sources I have discovered that I actually can draw.
     
    So the lesson is....you never really know what you are capable of until you actually try it! Never say never, I can’t etc. to yourself. Obviously I have to change my words and thoughts from - "I'm not artistic" and "I can't draw" to.....
    ​"Cool something new! Let's give it a try and see where it goes!" And now when people ask me what I do I say - I am an Artist!
     
    I look forward to expanding my creativity. Thank you for your interest and support.
