Repainted bird and success

Here is the finished saying of success with a repainted bird and leaves.  The leaves helped out the composition of the bird, I think.  Have a good weekend everyone.  

Little Bird

Today I painted a picture of a little bird for a new saying.  The completed saying will have to wait for a couple of days but here is the bird.  I hope you have a great day!

Guest Artist, Pottery Place Plus, Spokane, WA

This month I was asked to be one of the guests artists at a local artisan cooperative.  On the first Friday of every month, all the wineries and art galleries are open late for people to mingle and go from one to the other.  I used to belong to this gallery and it is very fun to be a guest artist for the month of October.  The second photo shows some of my handmade books.  Have a great week, everyone.

Calendar 2013

Today in my studio I finished my 2013 calendar.  Every year I design 12 different months and each year has its own theme.  I pick all the quotes to match the theme and then I watercolor a picture to go with each saying.  This year the theme is Blessings.  Have a great week!  

Words from Mother Teresa

Yesterday I put up the picture of Mother Teresa but this is my favorite of her sayings.  I thought you might like to see this included with her picture.  

Mother Teresa

Hi, everyone!  This weekend I worked on some projects for my Spiritual Direction class.  I had to pick a topic of a person who inspired me and I picked Mother Teresa of Calcutta.  An amazing woman who gave so much of her heart.  I included a picture of her for my brochure.  Drawing people is not my speciality but her it is anyway.  Have a great Monday!

Affirmation Card #1

I guess I did not explain my affirmation card project very well.  There are 31 positive sayings in each little box.  the size is 3.5 x 5.  The number 31 means that you can read a different one each day for a month and then start all over.  I always put this one about love for the very first card because I love reading about love and acknowledging how important it is in my life.  Have a great day.
