Announcing winner of Self Portrait contest







I'm announcing the early end to my Self Portrait contest! I know...it's early but I have not received any other entries in a while and I think I made it too long anyway. OK, This is the winner by Kelly! It is busy, colorful and true journal art. I wonder if Kelly keeps a creative journal? I love to do that.

My second runner up is Stacey with her wonderful digitally altered photo of her self. All us women/Moms are a little crazy like that Stacey! Heehee



Thanks to everyone who participated! Kelly, I am going to submit the picture you won in an upcoming artshow so as soon as that is done, I will send it to you. Stacey, you get a surprise runnerup gift! I will need both of you to send me your address. HUGS!!!! AND KEEP BEING CREATIVE!

Congrats to Kelly and Stacey! I guess that's teach me not to procrastinate until the last minute :-)

Whoohoo! Yeah! I don't think I've ever won anything...

I'm so excited. Yes, I keep a creative art journal. Besides writing, I dabble with the art thing, and love, love, love it! Sometimes it's more therapuetic to draw than write.

I'm getting a digital camera soon, so I'll be posting some more of my art projects.

Thanks! I'm so excited!!

Paper Flowers and Fabric Flowers

Well, I'm kind of in a creative funk again. I hate it when this happens! I'm so glad that next weekend I am going to Fredricksberg, TX again to the trade days. I know it will inspire me in all kinds of directions. Meanwhile, while I am trying to get my groove back........I have been making a lot of little short term projects in the paper department. I made this little posey pin from faux vintage post/letters etc papers from the scrapbooking department. I actually wore it yesterday on my jacket. Then I spotted this book on Fabric Flowers by Elizabeth Helene Searle at the fabric store and I had to get it. I used her instructions to make this first fabric flower. I want to try several of her other flowers instructions. Now, what will I do with them? Who knows? Does it really matter if I am enjoying myself? Probably everyone will get fabric or paper flowers for Christmas! Heehee Have a great day.

Funky and Proud

Just wanted to say a big thanks to all who responded to the last post. You are all so smart and insightful. I think after much thought and several good conversations with my friends, I feel better about this whole idea. My conclusion, I do many different things that fall under the "mixed media" category...even the jewelry. I have this never ending curiosity and desire to learn new techniques. Whatever I am working on at the moment is satisfying my creative cravings...if not, I don't do it. If I don't enjoy something....I don't do it. It is that simple. The "Funky Art Queen" thing? It occured to me that the people that would be put off by my d.b.a. would be those that most likely would not be drawn to my art in the first place. Thanks again. I just love every one of you. Next blog......not all about me I promise. HUGS

Melon Burst Pantone Quilt Challenge 2023

I entered my first quilt challenge this year! I was inspired by a friend of mine that had entered this challenge so I decided I would give it a try. The challenge is called Pantone Quilt Challenge 2023 and you can check out all the yummy shades of magenta at #pantonequiltchallenge2023 on Instagram. This challenge is hosted by  Sarah Ruiz of https://saroy.net/ and Elizabeth Ray of https://www.instagram.com/elizabethkray/?hl=en When I learned about the challenge, I headed over to Missouri Star Quilt Company online and purchased the Kona Crush for this piece. I was not sure what I wanted to pair it with for several days until I finally decided on several tones of greens.  So I started out with these pieces. I had always wanted to see how to make the flying geese in a curve. I managed to figure out a way by using wedged pieces in between each "goose"? I have since learned that there is another way by using Foundation Paper Piecing. All the things we learn with each quilt, right
