Ink Play
I have discovered a new artist who I love. She did a guest artist lesson in Mindy Lacefields class Permission to Play. Her name is Consu Tolosa

Doodling on the brain...
This week, I worked on this little sketch and watched her "become".... I never know when I start what direction they will take, but the more I looked at her, the more lines I made until the page was finished with doodling!!

Angels and birds
This week I was doodling with some thoughts and ideas from the new FLOW magazine. It is filled with clip art ideas this time. So fun to look through that magazine and be inspired.

Ballpoint pen sketches
We went on a trip this week and on the airplane, I only had my sketch pad and a ballpoint pen, and a book. I read for a bit then got the pen out and tried some sketches. It is not nearly as exact and cannot erase wrong lines... but I did like how you can draw and then loosely go back over the lines to correct any imperfections in the shapes.

Acrylic and watercolor play
This week my daughter asked me to help her with some thank you gifts. She had just gotten back from a work trip and wanted to send the ladies a thank you for helping her. So, she was giving me ideas of sayings or designs and mentioned that her favorite quote was by CT Studd... that said.... "Only one life, `twill be past, only what`s done for Christ will last." So, I pulled out a small canvas that I had been working on, finished it up and cut and pasted the words out to put on the front. I finished the picture with mod podge coating and then when it was dry, I applied Dorland wax... I had seen someone else use this process and wanted to try it out.
