4th of July Petite Doll Challenge

Hi everyone,

I spent a lovely day with a new friend from my my journaling/bible study class.  We went to a local park to a "sketch in the park" hosted by the local arts council.  I've never sketched from nature before and one of the local artists in charge came up and said he liked my work!! Crazy, because I had no idea what I was doing...
but the weather was actually bearable today. In the 80's and low humidity for a change.  Just the way summer should be!  Then, we went to Joann's looking around, went to eat lunch, hung out at the bookstore and went to a matinee.
Anyway, Suzi Blu, my favorite art instructor in the UNIVERSE, said to make a July 4th doll for the weekend, so here she is.  You MUST go to check out her classes (here). Suzi has given me confidence to call myself an ARTIST!!! YAY

I'm back

Ok, it's been a LONG time since I posted anything. I've been creative (off and on) but forgot about the blog. Here's a card I made for my sweet regional manager. She surprised me this weekend with a lovely card and gift. Since we work for AFLAC, the duck image inspired me. The image is from Land of Nod Studios.

Also, I made a digital collage a couple of weeks ago since there is an Alice craze right now. It's always been a favorite of mine so I'm glad people are reading Alice in Wonderland again. The images are from vintage images, Sherrie Drummond, and Ilene Alexeeva.

More funky artwork

I made a few more paintings. I know most people think they're weird but I had fun creating them and love the bright colors.
