Thursday April 16,09

I have been sitting here putting together items to make my think green card!! Lots of green to make it with now I just have to sit and stare at all of it and get inspired!!
I have been visiting different blogs and I am blown away with the creativity of the artists. Will I ever get there? who knows! Will I have fun along the way? Absolutely!!
Our big painting convention is here in Mississauag Ontario Canada from today until Sunday so I will be off doing seminars and meeting old friends..it will be a lovely time and I will come back to my studio all reved up and ready to go again in to the world of creativity....

I have been a lurker on a group of mixed media artists for a very long time.
I decided today to come out of hiding and start to participate so here is my first venture.
Today was the day to make something about your puppy (ies)...so I decided it was time to do a tribute to my special furbaby....

Folded ATC

Well what fun I have just had...I decided to make a folded atc of my grandaughter Nicky who is aspiring to become a hockey player in the olymipics when she grows up....when it is folded it hides the wording inside the card and when you open it....you'll see :)
I thought I would add a twinchie that I did last week and some tags that I made. I love creating paper art and my mind never stops looking for something new. I keep thinking right around the corner of my brain is something new that no one has thought of yet...hehehe and this keeps me looking and creating.
I am working on my bag book and so excited to do that one and another for a swap...My life is beginning to take on the addage...."So much to do and so little time to do it in"....
We went to McMichael's Gallery in Kleingburg on the weekend..They had a display of Karsh photos. My hubby and I both like Karsh and have some of his photography books. His work is amazing...
Lovely work by AY Jackson and Emily Carr....made me want to run home and start painting too...
I wish I could get all my "personalities" out at one time and put them to work accomplishing all that I want to do....
Back to work now...a labour of love.
