Well hi, I haven't forgotten about ya'll. Just had a few things to do after getting back from our mini vaca in Fredericksburg! It was sooooo hot, but we enjoyed ourselves despite the heat. We ate at the Hill Top Cafe, shopped, went to Wildseed Farms, and hit the Fredericksburg Brewery and the Sister Creek Winery. I would say we covered quite a bit in 2days, wouldn't you! Will post a few pics below that I wanted to share with you. There is one, of a 4x4 canvas that I saw in an art gallery on the main drag in Fredericksburg. The closer I looked at it, I realized I could do that!! It was heavy bodied paint mixed with color in multiple layers on a white canvas, that's it!! I so wanted to see the asking price, but the store didn't open until 10 and we were ready to leave town as of 9:40. So, a pic is all I got. Anyway, see what you think when you look at it and compare to any canvases you have seen or done and let me know what your conclusions are!
I have been back in the crafting studio after watching Saturday's class #2 of Junelle Jacobsen's Wildflowers- Wild Art Summer online series. I just love watching her!! I dreamed about new crafties I could make using her ideas all night. So silly, but fun. I got stuck on some card/picture holders I saw on our trip for sale in a shop, and it was another one of those I KNOW I can do that! kinda things. So, that's what I worked on today. It uses a large wooden spool, which I covered with paper, trim, lace, etc, then put a paper clasp on top, which hold the tag or picture, and they are just adorable!!! Let me know if you have any questions and I would be happy to answer them. Hope you enjoy the pictures and I will be back tomorrow with some more creations, this time, watercolor camping trailers and camping tents, oh boy, can't wait!!
Just Julie
