Candy Store

Don't these look yummy?  I am like a kid in a candy store when it comes to new art supplies.  These goodies I got at Akamai in Port Townsend - an awesome art store - if you are in the area check it out - it rocks!  Wish I had one around here - on second thought it is probably a good idea that I don't ;)

 

Journalfest

I just got back from Journalfest with my dear friend LK.  I had such a wonderful time filled with laughter,friendship and ART!  Here are some peeks from the classes I took from these amazing artists.

New Journal for Journalfest

I decided that I needed a spanking new journal to take with me to Journalfest.  So today I set out to make one and VOILA here she is!

Journaling Gloves

My latest obsession has been making these crocheted fingerless gloves which just so happen to be great for journaling in cold weather AND it just so happens that Tuesday I head out to meet my dear friend LK to go to Journalfest for the week!  These should come in rather handy ;)

And so it begins ...

I started a group of new paintings and so it begins the "process"  thought you might enjoy the journey so here is stage one ...

 

stay tuned ....

More eye candy ~ in the tubes

I just love the way paints look in the tubes all grouped together by color tucked into their own little drawers ~ it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling all over ~ yes I am a tad touched I'll admit - but come on admit it - they are so dang cute!

 

Remember my new score of paints ~ well here is my little color chart.

* note the little circled letters stand for

s- Sennelier and g- Golden
