spring break-Thursday

making balls to go into the fabric basket....decided to invent an idea to make fabric balls, I used small balloons wrapped in plastic wrap and then dipped 1/2" strips of fabric into fabric stiffener(sort of fabric glue) and laced these strips around the balloon, let them dry then removed the plastic wrap and popped balloon from one of the holes......also painted smooth foam balls....

spring break-Wednesday

Inspiration day--road trip with hubby, lunch on the coast, browsing art galleries, yoga in the evening

tuesday Spring break

I wanted to work with fabric--I have been wanting to play with making a fabric bowl, so decided with Easter approaching, that would be a good project--a sort of Easter basket/bowl---way fun!! I didn't take photos of the process--I should have.

finishing the project from Monday

My Spring Break......Monday

Monday was "create" using an inspiration of a floral design from a dentist ad, I did manage to pay a few bills while doing art--painted on tea bags, since that was handy-did a few sketches and played with new paints.....what I learned
1. permanent ink is not permanent on tea bags
2. machine stitching is not a good idea on tea bags
3. I like spring break

sketchbook challenge for March--Spilling Over

I am sitting at my desk and saw the sketchbook challenge for March, is Spilling Over, as I look up from my computer I see my first sketch.......the folders of bills. I haven't done a 1 point perspective drawing for probably years.....it was fun!! I am going to do some more. However, my next idea for "spilling over" involes my stomach and jean waistband--I might make the sketch title out of a food alphabet--wouldn't that be appropriate? ;-)
