Paint Party Friday

My daughter hates this picture.  Possibly if I would use pastels, I could pull off the change of Night & Day. I'll try that next time.  I've used water color pencils.
Take a look at all the clever and wonderful PPF players.

New Project

ASG had a brown bag fabric (and embellishment) exchange back in the Spring.  We have to utilize the fabric and bring it for Show & Tell this month.  I am just now working on mine. The fabric is pretty and I like it, but it didn't speak to me.  Finally, a new art doll pattern came into my head and a bag, so that's what I am making.  I decided to quilt the doll dress and the bag before putting them together.  This is a collage of thread ideas for the Back of the doll (unseen). I finally figured out how to work with the metallic threads. That was giving me fits.  The (hand) quilting raised little puffs (left curl) on the dress (backed with batting). I think the metallic will be fine, the variegated thread colors did not work so well (don't like the pink in it).  Just a preview of what is to come.

Storm Clouds

Possible tropical system coming in this weekend.  Lots of rain and wind.
Stay safe, flooding could be a factor.

Friday is Owl day

Paint Party Friday and I decided to Play. This is my painting of the Owl Family hiding in the palm tree.  Two little owlets and mom and dad.
Enjoy.

Young Adult writers

As a Children's writer, I enjoy reading Young Adult and Children's books.  One of my favorites is Susan Cooper's 5 books series The Dark is Rising.  Reading them in order is suggested.
Over the Sea, Under Stone
The Dark is Rising
Greenwitch
The Grey King
Silver on the Tree

Enjoy.
Blessings,
Janet
