More Winter Wreaths

Winter Wreath

I made a bunch of Winter Wreaths this weekend, and this one is my favourite so far.  I am making more, so I might post some more Winter Wreaths later on.

(the little touch of moss is my favourite part)

Sketchbook Project Finished

Today I mailed my Sketchbook.  I have to admit that I've had a bit of an artist-block and I completed my Sketchbook in an all day marathon session yesterday.  This project was a true experiment.  I tried some things I have never done before (some worked, some didn't).  I participated in this project because I thought it might be fun and I might learn something.  I have learned what I will not do next time.  I have also learned that I need to do some form of art every day (or something like that) to keep my creative juices flowing so that I do not get blocked again.  Below are a few of my favorite pages from the Sketchbook.

It's raining today.....

Paper Owl

Last night I tried experimenting with paper cut-outs.  I concluded from the experiment that it is very time consuming and that I am the type of person who has to stop constantly to look for the tiny piece of paper I just dropped.  This experiment might not be repeated.
