Lng time no post...

Wow...here it is the third month of the new year and here i am just now posting...where does the time go????
life has been ever busy, and wonderful, my oldest son has come home...thats most exciting and a huge blessing...awaiting the arrival of the younger son...hopefully soon...and of course i'm still creating art...artdolls mostly...still haven't gotten the hang of making wings....uuugggg...never seems to get easier no matter what medium i use...so practice practice practice...thats what i must do...
 Almost garden time...strawberries and spring flowers already planted, lettuce of all types and can you believe they've already sprouted...woohoo...spring has sprung...longer days, warm breezes...just a really lovely time of year i must say...

 adding a few pictures then i must get back to the art table...

creative spaces

I really love looking at other artists creative spaces...and with that in mind thought i'd share mine...now this is a rather small studio, actually its the corner of a very large bedroom "made" into a creative space...i also have a music area where i tinker on the paino, not very good at it but i do enjoy practicing, so thats my second creative space, and although i have no pictures of it, i do have a sewing room cramped into the guest bedroom thats rarely used...the sewing machine in there is an antique, and yes it works, but i prefer my singer table top model, and so when needed set up an extra card table of which i have two... works perfectly for small spaces as these can be taken down when not in use making room for other activities....one day soon i'll put up pictures of the piano area, and my other love antiques...i have slowly collected some beautiful things, this was after losing my home to a fir eleven years ago, back then i thought i'd never have any thing again...but i must say i have so very much to be thankful for this holiday season, a wonderful husband, a small yet cozy home, and three auper awesome critters whom i love dearly...Merry Christmas every one...

Christmas is coming....

Hello bloggers...christmas is upon us, its that happy time of year full of wonderful, sights and sounds, colors, and i have been busy....as usual...this year my goal was to make a christmas tree with all polymer clay ornaments, except of course the lights and tinsel, and my star on top...now this was no easy task, as this is a six foot tree which means tons of ornaments, of which i wanted each one to be slightly different but simular in style...so first i decided on themes which turned out to be multi colored two and a half inch balls covered in chopped canes, snow flakes, and flat but layered ornaments with snowmen, christmas trees and reindeer...at first count i was up to eighty, then i got to thinking of some goth ornaments i had made back in october which although also had a halloweeny theme, were kinda cute so i added those as well, being halloween and christmas are my two favorite holidays...pictures you say...why of course...it would be no fun without the pictures....soooooo....first i'll show you the tree finished with several angles, then i'll add the collages of the individual pictures of each ornament before being hung...and last but not least the wreath made with the remainder of my polymer clay ornaments...

Now, i'll show you the wreath and two new paintings...did i mention i have waaaay to much energy for just one person....lol...............................ok...maybe not...blogger won't let me post any more pictures on this one..why i do not know...but i've waited twenty minutes for the next eight pictures to add...no luck....oh well, what i'll do is wait till tomorrow, since actually we have all month to share christmas artworks, ornaments and such, and that way we can visit again,,,thank you for your pacience...hope every one is having a happy, safe and blessed season...now back to the studio...hugs...christen
