watching paint dry...

Welcome to Paint Party Friday!
I almost didn't post because I have very few paintings this week, but it doesn't matter about numbers right? Just that we artists are being creative.
Last weekend I went to the art supply store hoping to find a metallic paint set (finetec) recommended by Shayda Campbell

helping Mama shop

but they didn't carry it so I got an inexpensive set of shimmer paints to try, a tube of Windsor and newton white goache, a replacement posca pen in white, and maskit.

I wanted to see how these looked on paper, and it was fun to paint with shimmery paint. It doesn't photo well though. I started with a half sheet folded in half to make a card, and a circle in pencil

then a pumpkin, some leaves and berries, a few flowers

daubs of blue purple and yellow on wet paper, continued with a pigma pen in black and white gel.

then painted a last minute tree inside the card after lettering the message on front

I'd like to get a card like this!
This week I watched a video on making a paper doll and it inspired me to do it in fabric. I did a quick pen and ink face, and appliqued some fabric, used black thread and cotton stuffing. More tomorrow but this is her little painted face

We have had snow for the last two days

and while the snow we woke to was pretty

this is an inside day for sewing and painting and reading and a cozy cup of green tea
