This is what a really productive weekend looks like for me. Yarn everywhere! hehe! I don't really know what my purse has to do with it though...
Collecting for @brianacreates online "magazine mixed media collages" class #magazinemixedmediacollages So fun!
Color palettes I designed, circa 1996.

A little love from Sales Manager Chris Blair. Like what you see? We're always hiring great people: www.Blinds.com/careers
Various things I've been experimenting with outside of sketching/watercolors.
Gray heads are Super Sculpey Firm and will probably become test subjects for molding and casting.
White head is LaDoll waiting to be detailed and sanded.
Needle felted woodsy started as a test of using a wet felted 'bead' as a core for the head. Poor thing still needs arms and feet. ^o^
An upclose and personal look at a quilt I am slowly making progress on. Made from baby clothes, this little cow is from a bib.
A 1958 Impala I'm building. Frame is done, and body is painted. Still lots to do, but it will have to wait for my '51 Chevrolet Fleetline.
Hard to see the pattern since it's all bunched up, but I've passed the lace portion and I'm starting the body.
This is coming along more slowly than I would like, which I think is due to the yarn (Cotton Fleece). I love the way it drapes and the fabric it creates, but the actual feel of the yarn isn't very pleasant to me. I think it's the cotton content--feels a lot like dishcloth yarn. So this is becoming a very slow knit, but that's ok...
This is a work in progress, a painting for friends. So far, this is a sketch with some color blocked in with acrylics. This is a childhood home and my friends are two time-zones away, so this involves long-distance art as well as time-travel. My friends scanned and e-mailed me a black and white photo, my main source of visual information, supplemented by phone calls and e-mailed color photos of the house as it is now. I have been sending digital photos to my friends as I draw, and making changes based on their feedback, which I expect , because when it comes to the house you grew up in, the more you see, the more you remember. We are really building the house together, with art and memories. I will post more later. . .
I grabbed stashed and recycled papers, envelopes and other ephemera to fill up the book. Since the binding clips open and close, I can always move things around, flip pages or add new materials.
30 kitties, bunnies and puppies means 60 little ears and 60 little arms need to be sewn, turned and pressed... not that I'm counting, the last thing you want to do is start counting when your space is this repetitious...

This shows almost the entire table as it is right now. The theme of this mural is "life".
Since this is my own dining room table and something I'm painting just for me, I am only working on this when I don't have other paintings or gourds to get finished. This is why it is taking me so long to finish it.
It is a project that helps me to relax. Turn on some great music and paint the night away. :)
You can see the begining of this table further in under my Misc. folder here.
