More Angels

Angels Angels and More Angels....

OK, so, I told you that I would tell you. But first, I confess that I have snatched the idea of painting pretty little angel faces on little pieces of wood from one of my and your favorites.........dj pettitt

Decision...decision...decison. That was on the top of my list this week end. That's the part that I want to tell about. I do believe that it is all of Norah's doings and she if very brave sometimes and much more gutsy than myself. You see, she has pushed me into thinking that I can do this thing that I am going to tell you about and I, Me, Sharon must decide today once-and-for-all that I can do it. Or that I can find a whole lot of excuses not to do.

Back in September or October when I got the new supply of great canvases, I (with norah's pushing) had this great idea that I would... no... that if I could paint up all these canvases, that I would take them to the December Georgetown Second Saturday event which happens next Saturday. Well, I didn't get all the canvases painted. But I did get a few. And now there are all sort of Christmas parties scheduled that I didn't know about at the time that I set this goal. And now the fact of the matter is I AM A CHICKEN....

The fact of the matter is that I have sorted it all out and I don't really want to know that nobody in Georgetown would want to buy my art. I just don't think I want to know that. Besides that, I want to keep it all for myself. Nevertheless, all these little angels which I am having such fun painting and will turn into ornaments will go with me for sale....if I go.

The weekend is not over yet.....

Angels

Working hard today.

Will be back tomorrow to tell you about it.

Yes, this is on my list.

More Bamboo

Good Fortune Journal

Happiness

Now that I have painted more bamboo, I shall move on to something else. But you can be sure that bamboo will most likely, probable, almost for sure, more than likely show up on my next canvas.

When I say, "move on to something else", I mean I have to start with the seasonal chores. My list is long and I keep trying to include ART on the list.

Like Christmas cards, Christmas stamps, new Christmas tree decorations, Christmas cookies, Christmas cookie cans and homemade Christmas presents. I think I have waited too long to start. I'll save the other part of the list for....

Cookie Fortune

Don't you love cookie fortunes?

They are great reminders sometimes.

I have versatility. A good "Good Fortune".

And you get lucky numbers too.

Here she is. Boy, I really enjoyed painting the bamboo. Only took about two seconds and that is why I'm showing this close up. My camera caught the metallic I used.
I like.

I used more of the same napkin on the left side. The same as the first two pages.

See the butterflies. The one on her shoulder is a transparency. The one on the left side is a transparency transfered. Just thought you'd want to know.

Enjoy, I put the finished complete spread down at the bottom thinking I could see both the before and after together on the blog. We'll see.

Versatility

Good Fortune Journal

Versatility

Isn't that a good fortune to have?

A fortune cookie reminded me that I have it.

Here is an unfinished page. I think she is pretty even in this unfinished sketch. So, I wanted to share her. I found a few artful moment yesterday morning to do this before leaving the house. Then, when I got home after five, I finished it. I will show you the finished page tomorrow.

Will you come back to see it?

I love your visits. And I am so appreciative of your beautiful comments. Thank you.

Energy

Sunday, before my wonderful four days of rest were over, I did another page in my new Good Fortune Journal. The tree illustration was on the page. That's all, just the tree. The page was driven by the "Energy" stencil. I just wanted to make a statement to myself that I did have energy and that was my good fortune Sunday.

ENERGY....

I don't want this to be a long post but I do want to tell my story.



I had another project "started" a while back.....October. I had cut out these little ole mes and the little chairs. Once-and-for-all, I decided to abandon that "started" project for-ever-more. Permission granted.



What the heck? I'll just glue these down in this little book and see what happens.


So I did, along with other bits and pieces. Just fun play. Yes sir re. That's what it was about. ART Play.



It wasn't until yesterday that I started thinking... in the shower. You know where the door has been scrubbed and I can now see clearly. Well I thought how curious it was that I had used Myself sitting in a chair on a page about energy. Not once but twice. Then I remembered that I had spent the middle two days of my holiday sitting in a chair just as blank as could be. That little devil......Norah's sitting there too. I guess Norah's mind wasn't blank. I imagined here conjuring up this whole little page and project all the while just sitting in the chair with me.

For those of you who do not know, Norah'S my muse. She is me and she surprises me all the time with stuff like this. Just like that butterfly that was added in the middle at the bottom of the page. I had to stop with the picture taking to glue it down. She insisted. Well then I had to take another picture.

So, since this turned out to be about my muse, I decided to join in Michelle Ward's Street Team Crusade No 14. For more good stuff about everybody's muse go to the Street Team site.

Good Fortune

Beware.
I think I am about to rattle incoherently.

I sat Friday and most of Saturday with a blank mind.

Looking into a window-like screen with obsession. Watching more than once the same offerings. Why do they do that?

For blank minds?

Feeling guilty.

Wasting precious time.
Discovering with help from bbff (best blogger friend forever) that it is OK.

Saturday morning I scrubbed the shower door.
Now I can see through.

It was like clearing the blankness away.




When the door was finished, I stepped out of the blankness.

And whacked my hair again.

It doesn't matter.

I have wisdom.

"There Are Men Too Gentle To Live Among Wolves"

My new Good Fortune Journal.




And Cookie Cans for Miss Princess.

An extra for Elizabeth.

She 'hearts' my cans.

Special delivery.

Not mailing.

Stamps from "Meme" stamps.

Meme is my Amelia.

My Amelia is my Mother.
My Mother had wisdom.





Couldn't think about which photo to show.

Round things don't have an ending.

I have wisdom.

So.
Before the day was totally gone, I painted.

Cans and paper.

I used my new stamp from RO.
I used a new napkin from Suzi.
I used Meme old postage stamps.
I used "Wisdom" stamp from Susan.
I used my wisdom.






I used inspiration to make a Good Fortune Journal.

I don't remember who.
I hope she will leave me a comment to remind me where I was probably weeks ago when inspired to make a good fortune journal.

It will be what it will be....my Good Fortune

Thankful

I am so thankful for a very relaxing filling day. I even worked in a little painting and for today, I will call her "Thankful". I like showing my little pencil sketch and it was done during one of those day dreaming, zoned out, moments at the desk last week. Before I started painting her I received this wonderful little packet from Darla with napkins, a vintage photo, a very generous roll of vintage wallpaper border and a very sweet note. Well you see I have already put the vintage paper to use.

Oh, I must tell you that the little Santa postcard was mailed separate. Darla reused a greeting card to make it. You can see it on her blog too but she needed encouragement to trust the post office without an envelope. See Darla, it arrived in beautiful shape. I loved getting it.
