I have my first show this saturday.. it's a small local one but am still trying to get some springy/summery type things done. and need to pack up what I am going to take with me. I need a verse for a lighthouse painting I did.. somehow the ones I usually use don't seem to fit it very well... any thoughts would be appreciated...lol
I did get a lovely surprise the other day though.. a friend happened to hit a thrift shop after he was at a meeting and look what he brought me....
so many skates... so little time...lol can hardly wait to start basecoating and painting them...I so need more room to paint...lol
Just in case you've never seen my painted skates.. here's a pic...
I am a little nervous about starting my art journal.. for the Travelling Sistah's group as I have never done one before.. and it's supposed to be about me.. drawing a total blank.... hope some inspiration comes soon..
Anyways.. should get to something.. I work 2 - 9:30 tonight.. does not sound like fun...
Thanks for stopping by.. hope you have a loverly day! It is sunny here and supposed to be +6c... whooo hooooo!!!!

Beautiful Chaya! What a cutie-pie with such a sweet little face. I really love your painted skates - they are the perfect winter accessory for the whole season, not just Christmas-time!
ReplyDeleteOh Chaya looks so happy on the swing! Love the tongue sticking out!
ReplyDeleteFirst show this saturday? Hope it all goes well duck.

aw, how cute Chaya looks and your skate is gorgeous! You've got your work cut out for you with the box full!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Chaya had fun... but it's too bad you've still got snow. :/
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to the internet, it seems like I haven't "seen" you in ages!
What a precious girl you have there...but you already know that...Love her sweet rosey cheeks!
ReplyDeleteYour painted skates are fabulous Kath...what a score...you'll be painting up a storm...I bet people will lap them up
Best of luck at your show...hope springtime finds you soon

I have never seen your skates! How great are they?!!! I am now re-thinking my old old roller skates in the basement...hmmm.
ReplyDeleteOh my Chaya is a total doll face, what a sweetheart! I'm sure you'll come up with something fabulous for the book ;)
how about this: Your love is the beacon of my heart.
I LOVE your skates what a fabulous idea- and I bet they are so popular there!
ReplyDeleteI've never done an art journal either- I'm just planning to try new techniques as I go, maybe do an art journal with sketches FOR the traveling journal....? Anyway, fear not, we're all in this together :)
Oh the other thing I did (not that you need my help- I just get rambly at times:)) was a Google image search of art journal pages to get an idea of what style *I* like and feel inspired by.
Have a beautiful day!
Stephanie
So glad you're back! :) That skate is fabulous, what an inspiried idea! No shortage of skates now... ;) Wishing you great success at the show!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christina.. lol am a little biased but do think she's the cutest... yes the skates work all winter.. and are very popular.. painted 66 of them last year...look great hanging on your door..
ReplyDeleteThanks Rosie...just need some time to at least pack this week..lol
Thanks Ann.. yes.. it will be a job to get them done..

aww thanks Patty.. they were popular, hope they are again this year..lol and she is wonderful.. that's the only thing about working again.. can't pick and choose when I see her anymore...
ooh that's a great saying Jaime.. will keep it in mind..my girlfriend came up with Life's better at the Lake so did that on them.. roller skates?? that would be very cool.. you should paint them..it's the time thing right now.. there isn't any!!!
Thanks Stephanie.. that's a great idea..will google/check out other pages .. think my muses are just tired..lol.. hope so..glad you like the skates.. yes new techniques will be fun..didn't realize you hadn't done an art journal either. this will be great fun once we get into it I'm sure...
Thanks Melinda.. it is nice to be back.. hope it lasts... it's just a little community sale.. but will be nice to set up and sell a bit for the first time since christmas..see what's lurking around.. always feel like I don't have enough... till I start to pack it to go...lol it's hard when everything is mostly one of a kind...
Hope everyone has a lovely day!! not sure I have anymore to say for a post...lol

Yayy! You're back! So glad the internet is working again :) The skates are adorable!! It's the first time I've seen them! Too cute :D

I have posted on my new blog, actually- yay, I love my new blog! :D
ReplyDeleteOh, and I forgot to add- in that photo, Chaya looks so much like my cousin Mackenzie I'd almost think they were the same kid! It's too funny!
Thanks Jordan..glad you like them...
ReplyDeleteWhoo hoo Taylor.. will check it out.. really? they look alike.. well they do say everyone has a twin somewhere..lol
Those skates are so much fun! I'm also a bit worried over the sketchbook but am just trying to take it one spread at a time and not freak out. I like the idea Stephanie had for having an art journal for sketch ideas for the traveling books. That would be a great way for me not to "lose" my ideas throughout the year.
ReplyDelete-Brandy
Yup, there's just something about that photo of Chaya that makes me think of Mackenzie! Yeah, I've heard the twin thing, too. :) I wonder where my twin is...? ;D
