Watercolor progress



The watercolor is coming along! I'm at that stage where I don't know if I should be finished or not! Opinions would be welcome! And the little Make Your Mark journal page----I don't know WHY but I absolutely love this little piece!! I'm calling it "Growing Pains".

More MYM Pages






I'm still plugging away! I really wish I hadn't procrastinated so much!! This has been an interesting process. I'm trying to be very diverse in the type of art work I include and am feeling surpisingly fearless!!! I like it!!

Tattoo Artist???

A few weeks ago I made a small mandala and turned it into a card for my sister-in-law who lost her mother to cancer earlier this year and is having a hard time. She really loved it. Unfortunately it's the only one I didn't think to take a picture of. Her daughter (my niece) also saw it and LOVED it so much she wants it to be her next tattoo!!!! Not quite sure whether I should be honored or horrified as she already has plenty of tattoos!! But truly----I AM honored!! I just wish I could remember what it looked like!! Do you think I could have a future as a tattoo artist?!?!??! tee hee!!

We finally had our first watercolor class with Alla Jablokow at the LaGrange Art League this morning. She is such a sweet, talented and tiny, Russian lady!! I'm really looking forward to next week!

Make Your Mark Journal Project





I have been scrambling lately (as are many others I suspect!) to get my Make Your Mark Journal done by the deadline on July 31st. I suspect I will be gluing a lot of mandalas in the book as that is what I have the most of! I did not get to pass it around to other people as much as I would have liked but....maybe we will do this again sometime?? I'm doing the best I can while I navigate the ups and downs of life!! I hope to have more pictures soon!
