Fly Girl

Happy Thursday! I hope you are enjoying your day. As many of you know, I started mixed media art journaling this Summer and I am so HOOKED! I am still so amazed at how much I am loving this. Just a year ago, I started teaching myself to draw and now I am exploring this free-style art journaling.

Susan aka SARK author of Succulent Wild Woman said, "You can express parts of yourself in painting that come from nowhere else. There is an interior part of you that has no words and dreams in color." I totally believe this and seeing it before my eyes.

So, here I am having a great adventure learning new techniques, playing around with colors, journaling, shopping and just having fun.

Since I started I have loved being messy and unstructured in my art. But yesterday, I wanted to draw a face. I have been practicing drawing lately and wanted to incorporate it into my journal. So, I was so overjoyed at how this turned out and couldn't wait to share with you all!

Take a look!


This is my encouragement to fly toward my dreams and live out my purpose.

 Love the little yellow drops. Looks like magic dust.

Love the butterflies! I used a stencil and make-up sponge to dab the paint on.


Oh and the hair! I love it!
 
 
 
Isn't this amazing? I love the message and the outcome and hope it inspires you to keep reaching for your dreams. Thanks for looking and have a super day.

Our Romantic Anniversary Dinner

Happy Thursday! I hope your week has been great.  Today I wanted  to share some of our wedding anniversary pictures with you.  Last Sunday, my hubby arranged for us to have a romantic dinner at the very place where we had our wedding reception.  I was so excited when I found out that they set up a table for us to have the whole banquet room to ourselves.  How great was that??? The restaurant is right on the bay and has the most spectacular  views.  So when we arrived they had a table set up for us right by the windows so we could get an even better view.  They had the rest of the room set up for an event but I still could remember how it looked the night of our wedding with the lights and the dance floor.  Plus the left side of the room is nothing but windows so you can see more of this secluded bay. So as we dined we watched the sunset and it was so fabulous.  Even at night all the lights from the surroundin...

Happy Hearts

Today I will be sharing one a several painting I recently finished. This one is one of my favorites. I wanted to try two faces and just love how they turned out. It was fun going crazy with the multi-colored background. The hearts were made using my new favorite thing to make from toilet paper rolls- STAMPS.  I saw them on Julie Balzer's blog. Toilet Paper Tube Stamps  Then I used my fingers to paint the inside of the hearts. So neat! Take a look and I hope you feel the love and joy in this piece. Aren't the afro's fabulous!!! LOL! They were my first try and look pretty darn good. The little girls afro puff is so cute and reminds me of the ones I had as a child.   I love the hearts on their clothes. I used my stencil to make the design then painted around just to show the insides. Hope you enjoyed and come back this week to see some other paintings. Have a good one!

Cupcakes Anyone?

Happy Fall! Last Summer I took a cupcake decorating class at Michael's and I loved it. It was really great to learn the basics. This was all new to me and I was excited to try it out.  All Summer I wanted to make more but the weather got too hot to bake so I had to wait. Finally we had a break with some cooler temps and I was able to get back to these yummy treats.   I made two of my favorite colors: happy sunny yellow and hot pink. Oh, and they tasted good too.        Have you tried cupcake or cake decorating before? Isn't it like art? Maybe that is why I love it. Now I can't wait to make some more. Thanks for stopping by!
