ladies {a bonus lesson}

i had found something of a stride for teaching on day two. this was my morning shot before we started. (notice the most important thing on the desk- the large coffee cup.)

this was my lovely group of students who had taken my art journaling class. they just did a fantastic job! very attentive- really taking everything in.

making a "lady" below was our extra bonus lesson on sunday; and the ladies above dove right in.

this was the students at hard work sunday morning. 

and below are the fine "ladies" that we all  made- aren't they fabulous?! (i know, i know.....i may be a bit bias....)

and this was my lovely host- Jennifer Stone. she is extremely talented and a very gracious host.

thank you for all your hard work and making this class a reality!

happy monday.

ladies {mixed media/ sewingswag}

this lady would be printed, stitched and filtered for your enjoyment.

her green eyes would look right through you.

the ladies would be a spirited pair.

saturday fun...

well, long week finally over. i've had a "finable" report that needed to be turned in on friday- what a relief to submit that and be over that hurdle. so, time for a little fun this weekend!! i am meeting my mom and going to an art fair this morning- and i can hardly wait! i have not been to this one in a long time. we use to go to alot when i was growing up...my mom and gramma are very talented ladies! they have always been as connor would say- "artsy-fartsy." i wish i would have listened a little closer growing up (that whole kid thing going on...)- probably would have learned a whole lot more from these two- but, i am paying close attention now and they each continue to get better and better each year.....we celebrated gramma's 95th birthday this last spring. such an amazing and talented woman- she is into portraits-sketching people; and they are incredible!
