I not only had to change classrooms, but I had to clean up all the crap that the previous teacher left. It took a total of FIVE days!!! I have had backaches and headaches and absolutely no ambition to do art.<br />
<br />
Thank goodness for my art group. They keep me pushing on when I just don't feel like it. Here is the product of a Prayer Flag Swap that I hosted:<br />

These flags were absolutely amazing!!!<br />

And I just love my monthly mail art swap. This month's theme was coffee and circles. This is what I came up with:<br />

That's all for now. I'm hoping for more art journal time. Hopefully that will hapen once things mellow out.sandeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12912878862155429809noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38568665.post-12935172382152057912012-07-21T13:04:00.001-07:002012-07-21T13:04:56.274-07:00CT friends come and go...My friends from CT came out to visit. They stayed for 5 days. Three out of the four have never been to Cali, so it was a real treat for them. I loved playing tour guide; we went to San Fran and ate at my FAVORITE Vietnamese restaurant; went to Lombard St., Fisherman's Wharf and rode the trolley. We also went to Muir Woods to see the redwoods and to Sonoma to visit some wineries. It was just awesome!!! Here we are at Muir Woods:<br />

It was definitely a cool day. These poor people thought 'sunny California' meant warm California. Not in Northern Cali~LOL!!!<br />
<br />
Finally had a little time for some art. Here is an envelope for a Mail Art swap. The theme was green and butterfly. Ouch! I had such a hard time with this~LOL!<br />

Yes, bored. And my Muse went on vacation without me. I'm jealous. So I whipped out my Scrappy Heart Journal and tried to make something I was happy with. It didn't work out that way.

I could have bought out the store but managed to use my super powers to restrain myself. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
I absolutely love painting papers to use in my art. If I could, I would spend an entire day doing it. Yesterday, I was able to play in the sunshine for about an hour using my new watercolors. Wow! Remarkable what GOOD watercolors can create. This is what I got...</div>

In order to be eligible, you must leave a comment (of course, how else would I know that you're interested...) and an email address so I can contact you in case you win. I'd be more than pleased if you posted it to your blog. All traffic is good traffic! I'll pick the winner with a random number picker on the computer on May 5th. That's one week from tomorrow.<br />
<br />
The piece is 5 x 7 inches. The base is Caran D'ache crayons. All papers are hand painted. It is sprayed with a sealant but I still wouldn't get it wet.<br />
<br />
Good luck! I sure hope you win!!!sandeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12912878862155429809noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38568665.post-68602371537330038182012-04-24T10:02:00.003-07:002012-04-24T10:02:39.282-07:00It's Official...100 Followers!I'm not quite sure when it actually happened, but I checked my blog this morning and saw that I had 100 followers!

If I make 5 more, I'll get five back from different artists...yes, a swap. I can never resist a good one, especially for a good cause.<br />

Go check out the Art-Is-You site. I've gone for the past three years on the east coast. Now that I'm living on the west coast, I'm going to Petaluma!sandeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12912878862155429809noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38568665.post-85794551012894497382012-04-09T11:34:00.002-07:002012-04-09T11:34:33.005-07:00I am Doodle ChallengedLet's face it. I just can't doodle. They start out OK but result in just a mess of lines that look like a 3 year old did it. So, after perusing Pinterest and looking at other people's journals, I decided to teach myself how to doodle. I received a lovely little journal from <a href="http://wwwpeggysamusement.blogspot.com/">peggy</a> for my birthday and I'm using it as my Doodle practice book. Here's my first page...<br />

The sun was shining; not a cloud in the sky. Took my daily walk while singing to my iPod. I think people thought I was 'special'. Came home and made my April Mail Art. Needed to have flowers and numbers. I really enjoyed making this.<br />

Awed? Amazed? Dumbfounded?...as to how many of my journal pieces were pinned. I think that maybe I should be flattered, but there is something about having my art just floating around in cyberspace that makes me wonder if my art is being enjoyed or misused. What are your thoughts on this; I'm very curious to see if I'm over reacting or just being paranoid.sandeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12912878862155429809noreply@blogger.com5
