I love gardens
with little gnomes in them. I have never
had one, but I think this is the year to get one. How whimsical it would look.\
I decided to
careen off on to another direction of creativity. I happened on a DYI Dollar store project.
Happens I had a
large gate light cover I picked up in a yard sale in Yuma. As happens,
my Creative Muse started. I got three
dollar store mops, each 1.00 and I thought three would be enough to cover. As well, I got a stalk of a white bulb I
could use as a nose. I have t-shirts and
an idea where I could go with this... so I got my glue gun connected outside in
my gazebo and off I went into this Creative land. As well, a couple of years ago, my
sister-in-law, Wendy, who passed a year ago, had sent me a Bee hat after I got
stung by bees. She was so precious and
this became a way to honor her at this first anniversary of her death.
As for the
painting... I soo enjoyed doing this with Art Sherpa.
I started on the
background, first.
I drew in the
character with my White Satin marker.
Painting the
beard was rhythmic.
I used a sharpie
acrylic black marker to outline my character,
Blocking and
Layering came next.
I added some
dots and stripes and, in the end, I adore him.

ReplyDeleteWas really fun to just follow along with the instructor, Art Sherpa, and do something mindless for a bit. Thank you.
