Upcoming art show!

Happy Saturday! Hope everyone is having a lovely, blissful day! I am enjoying the sunshine and am getting ready for an art show next Saturday! I have not participated in an art show for 6 years so I feel kind of rusty! Today I have been online googling images of unique and creative table displays....I really want my table to look great! So if anyone has any great advice for display artwork, I would LOVE to hear it!

Here are some ornaments that I am working on for the art show. I still need to add a ribbon for hanging.






Well I am off to clean and work more on my display for next weekend:)
Have a great rest of your day!

Christmas Ornaments

Christmas is nearly upon us! I don't know about you but this year I am all about the handmade gift! I am getting sick of how Christmas is becoming all about buying people "stuff" that has no meaning whatsoever.

Recently I went to Michael's craft/art store and purchased these lovely little ornaments to decorate.




I painted the ornaments first with acrylic paint and then collaged images I cut out from my hand-painted papers. Next I added some details with payne's gray and white colored paint. I am going to try to finish some more today- I still need to loop a pretty ribbon through the top so I can hang them.

Little red bird



This one was inspired by some of Henri Matisse's paper cut- outs:

What are you making this holiday season?
