Something a Little Different

Hi Everyone

I know it's been a few days, (nearly two weeks), since there was any action from this little port in blogland, but I haven't been idle. Well not completely, haha.

My friend Boo shared this link with me. It is for 'Free! Kids Online Art Classes' that are hosted and taught by, Carla Sonheim, Lynn Whipple and Diane Culhane. 

I had hoped Wee Man would join in, but I think he's about arted out for a wee while after successfully completing his 61 ICADs. However, I signed up anyway, watched the videos and picked the ones I wanted most to try, and here are the results. 

Picasso inspired Dog  (watercolours)

Oil Pastel & Paint People

Modigliani inspired Portrait 1 (watercolour pencils)

Modigliani inspired Portrait 2 (watercolour pencils)

These were all a lot of fun to do, and I see myself doing more.

Many thanks for visiting and looking.

Take Care, Be Happy

New Anti Journal Page and more Index Cards

Hello Everyone.....

.......I hope I find you well. 

Today is Wednesday, so I have a new page from my Anti Journal to share with you, as well as index cards from Wee Man and I for days 37 and 38.

First up is my journal page;

Litter with Letters

It isn't very exciting, or radical or outside of the box, but I enjoyed creating it. 

I'm looking forward to seeing what Karen and Carolyn share this week and I hope you have time to pop over to their blogs too; have a snoop around, their work is fantastic.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now for the latest index cards beginning with Day 37 from Wee Man 

This was inspired by Debby Mitchell on the ICAD Facebook page.

My Day 37

following the prompt for Checkers.

Wee Man's Day 38

A Sparkly Bus. The Wee Man Express. 28B going to Wee Man City.

He used sparkly pens for everything bar the hub caps.

My Day 38

I didn't have a clue what to do for the Mahjong prompt, so I added some flowers to a prepared background and coloured them with watercolours.

Many thanks for taking the time to look and for your comments. We read them all and appreciate them more than you know.

Until next time; 

Take care. 

Be Happy.

And Wee Man of Course :D

Q & L Sketchbook

I haven't done much more than drawing practise lately and I haven't posted them for fear of boring you all to distraction, but I have also managed to complete my latest entry to the fortnightly Q & L Challenge over at The Craft Barn. We are up to #20 and the words this time are Destiny and Gift. We are to use one or both words from a Quote and/or a Lyric in our work. I chose to use the word Gift. I had no idea what I was going to do until I opened my book and found a page I hade been playing on with some watercolours.

The trees and bird stamps are from Rubber Dance Art Stamps, I can't remember where the butterfly is from I'm afraid, and the lettering is just a wee alphabet set I have in a cute wooden box.

I am also linking this to The Sketchbook Challenge where the theme is Trees. 

Wee Man and I are off on a new adventure on Monday; we are going to Cardiff, the capital city of Wales, to meet up with Helen for the first time. It is all really exciting, to be flying down there, getting on different trains and buses and then meeting someone who has been a fabulous friend over the past few years. I have no doubt Wee Man will tell you all about it soon after we get back.

In the meantime, have a great weekend whatever you are doing, especially if your name is Tracey Fletcher King and you are celebrating your birthday tomorrow (Sunday)


Until next time.............

Q & L #17

This fortnight, The Craft Barn's Quotes & Lyrics challenge brings us the words Peaceful and Grace. We are to use one or both of the words from a Quote and/or a Lyric.

If you would like to find out more about the challenge and the rules, go here. If you want to jump right in and join in or just see what others have created for the current words, then go here.

I chose to use the word Peaceful, and after hunting for a while I found a quote that I liked.

I used a mixture of Dylusion sprays, distress paints, watercolour paints, watercolour pencils and the stamps are from Rubber Dance Art Stamps. 

The fabulous quote is by Mandy Hale.

Until next time............
