Art day with Kelvie
She made a tote out of a old rag rug and it was so much fun. She saw a picture of a recycled bag and loved the idea that everything was found our reused. We went through old scrapes of fabric old buttons and yarn, what a fun project.
The 1st project she made was mixed media art. She wanted to use butterflies and the colors she liked were the greens and blues so that was our start. Look what she made!!! What a great job.
My nieces are so much fun. I love all kinds of art and sewing projects with all of them.

The leaf pendant is from Lisa Peters Art I also used Czech glass, copper chain and pearls.

On Friday after Thanksgiving Taylor ask me to help her make a collage for her Dad for Christmas. They had been to the Paul McCartney concert and she thought it would be fun to make him something with all the memorabilia she had collected. Laina thught it would be fun, as long as her cousin was making one she would too. We all had a lot of fun and I think both projects turned out great. The girls did a wonderful job.

The inspiration for this month’s challenge
artist Wassily Kandinsky,
The pendant was made by Stacy Barnes the Greensburg art center director.
I had no plans to submit something for this months challenge, but after I saw the pendants she made I knew it would be perfect.

I wanted to show off my violets.
These are a few of the violets my mother started from leaves about a year and a half ago. I think they have done great!! I have three others about to bloom and one dark red I missed getting a picture of.
Thanks Mother, they are beautiful in my window

Now to my practice pages for Martha’s class.
I have only had time to take lesson 1 and practice. Here are some of my practice pages. I would like to get to lesson 2 this weekend BUT I do have family arriving tomorrow ( my sister and niece) and my house is a mess, so I better get busy. Or I could just have my sister clean when she gets here. OMG what a good idea.
Be sure and check my Saturday pictures on my other Blog

I made a mixed media collage for my Daddy for Fathers Day.
The 1st picture is after I had put together what Iwas going to use and had it ready for paint. I used a stretched canvas for this project.
I used a letter my Father had mailed to his family when in the navy, a news paper clipping from 1954 about the Kearsage ( the ship he was on) and some post marks from letters he had mailed home ( one from the Kearsage). Then I painted and decorated the canvas. After I finished I rapped some leather around one end and did some lacing or knots on the leather. I am very happy with the results, I wish the photos would have turned out better but you can get an idea of what it looks like.
The girls each made there own art on our project day. They both did a great job.
Black Leather and Hilltribe Thai silver beads with Handforged sterling silver pendant.
