Lesson 1 from the online class I'm taking at http://willowing.ning.com The project was to list your "goddess superpowers" but since I don't believe in that, but that God gives us all things, this is the result. It is good though to have to think about your positive qualities rather than be down on yourself.

Still have a lot to learn about painting with watercolors on the face and drawing 3/4 faces but it's really fun and Tam is an awesome instructor.

Made these for Christmas presents... well, gave one away and am contemplating keeping one 'cause they're soooo adorable.
I made these cute little owl purses using the directions in the Winter Quilts and More from BHG. I used strips from Moda's Wonderland honeybun.

My 1st Mermaid from Suzi's class. Her hair is really bright and I think I goobered her face up when the wax was put on. Then I tried to fix it and it got worse. Oh well, I have many more ideas for mermies so hopefully they will improve.
