Painted wine glasses


I have discovered painting on glass. So.....naturally, the glass that I am most familiar with is the wine glass. LOL.  First I painted some Martini glasses with a zebra motif.  You can see them on etsy here.  Then I decided to do a leopard print, a sexy lady with a red dress and then the funky one above.  The funky one is my favorite and is more true to my style.  I started another funky wine glass and that should be done tomorrow.  Hope to post that one tomorrow.

Meanwhile, I have had a lazy day.  It has been a bit cold and rainy the past few days.  I did a little laundry, a little housekeeping and a very long nap today.  My sis came over this evening and we watched our favorite shows; Project Runway and Cougar Town.  Hubby tevos these for us every week and she comes over for "date night" and we watch them.  I don't watch much television but I like both of these shows and we always enjoy watching them together.

Son is doing fine in Afganistan.  He was deployed to Bagram Airbase on Easter Weekend.  We got to spend a good weekend with him and his wife.  Fortunately, he has been able to call us frequently and keep us posted.  He sounds up beat and in good spirits.  He is doing volunteer work when not working his assignment and he is working on clepping some collage courses.  It is a 6 month assignment and I think it will get here quickly just like Christmas comes so quickly every year.  Hope you are well and having a lovely weekend.  Cheers!

I LOVE the wine glass! It is my favorite kind of glass, too ;)

Your art is right up my alley... I love the bright colors, the funky patterns, and the whimsy.

I'm glad your son is doing well! I'll send a prayer his way :)

Glad to hear your son is doing well.
I love those wine glasses! My only problem with handpainted glasses is the handwashing. I am just such a lazy woman:)

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
