Let’s go make art dot com makes watercolor kits which I love to do. Very relaxing and all of the decisions are made. Step by step videos and paint and paper and reference pictures are included. #watercolorgiraffe

Painting nearly done, called Aurora,Lucas drawing of Alex at his gig, and Alex himself playing at the Long Beach library music festival l, Long Beach Roxx with his new band Fire Tree. We are an artsy family.

I took a little bit of a risk here, adding paper to an oil painting. But I accomplished what I wanted to and that is rare. I was reluctant at first to add collage to a painting. Now that I have broken that rule I am fee to find some more to break. #artist #painting #mixedmedia #rulebreaker #art2lifeacademy

These are the patterns I chose from my box o’ patterns. I have had them all for a while. Made the socks and gave them away. I have the fabric for all except the top left dress, so that will be the last option. The skirt will be in the tan linen. The coat in the double sided linen satin. The white gown will be in the lovely soft white knit silk that I’ve been hoarding. The sewing kits in the denim that used to be an ottoman cover, that i stenciled. Or tried to stencil until my paint sprayer burst all over the place rendering the fabric abstract. That is my ambitious plan. Send thoughts and prayers. #sewist #maker #fabricho

Thread. Color. Tools of a sewist.
