Hello there,  I have missed a few Paint Party Fridays...but, I am back with a little early Halloween magic...

- just in time for the party over at Paint Party Friday...

Actually, we were in Michael's Crafts the other day...and I have to admit, the girls and I were a tad bit overwhelmed  by all of the witches, goblins and scarecrows peeking out of a few evergreen wreaths coated with candy canes....

Oh well, I

guess it's never too early to think about what costume to wear for Halloween, night, right ?
See you at the Paint Party!

Paint Party Friday - In the Studio

It's Friday and it's been quite a busy week here.

The last week of school is always JAM packed full of events for our family....

Wow, we haven't stopped!

So, today, we are home...doing

NOTHING...

YAY, and the best part?

It's Friday,

time for Paint Party Friday and Sneak Peek Friday.

Here is a little something I am working on...

you may recognize Wilbur and Charlotte from one of my favorite book's,

Charlotte's Web.

I am hoping to finish this today!

I can't wait to see what you are all up to!

Hope you have a great weekend!

Paint Party Friday - Paint Pins

So, I had an idea to take air modeling clay and shape into some of my little character's faces.

I attached a small pin to the back of them while they were drying.

It took about 4 days for the clay to dry.

I painted the faces of Madeline and Miss Kitty with

acrylics...

 then attached it to my daughter's back pack....

She loved it!

 They were fun to make, but I definitely need to work on creating these clay pins. The clay didn't dry as smooth as I thought....

 They were fun though. So this morning my kids and I molded some more shapes, we will post those in the future.

For more Paint Party Fun pop on over here, to Kristin and Eva's blog! There is so much great art to see.

See you there

It's Friday once again, boy this a busy time of year -

It's time for another Paint Party Friday....

Let the painting fun begin, see you there!

I found these really cute miniature easels at my local art store aren't they the cutest?

Perfect for your desk top!

And, they are the perfect size to hold a tiny painting like this one of Miss Kitty

Have a great day!

Paint Party Friday -Bookmarks

It's Memorial Day Weekend, and it's time to snuggle up in a

cozy chair, hammock, or pool float and read a good book!

Here is a bookmark for you to print and share!

You can use these bookmarks in all of your favorite books,

So what books are you reading?

It's also Paint Party Friday....I painted the butterflies with watercolors and then used my 'paint' program to make these cute bookmarks!

You can also cut these bookmarks out and paste in your journal...I did!

Have a great day!

Paint Party Friday - Little Miss Muffet

Little Miss Muffet

Sat on a tuffet,

Eating her curds and whey;

Along came a spider,

Who sat down beside her

And frightened Miss Muffet away.

Well, this week sure flew by! It's time for Paint Party Friday. Come join the party!

 

 I have always loved reading nursery rhymes to my kids

...and this is one of my favorites.

Little Miss Muffet is all dressed up, this pretty kitty is not too frightened, yet!

...hopefully Mr. Spider....won't stay too long!

She's now available in my Etsy shop

Have a Great Weekend

 It's all about what you might be working on this week...in any painting medium.

 This little bunny is enjoying having her picture painted this week, but she was a little disappointed when the artist stuck her with the carrots rather than the chocolate eggs she had been hoping for....oh well.

- I hope you enjoy her!
