Stretch Your Wings

Our visitors stayed away for a couple of days. When they returned it was for the entire day. They slept here, there and everywhere. After a dip in the pool it was time for a long session of grooming.

I shot over 800 photos that day. Beware the burst shots! I had no idea selecting that option would create so many photos. Guess I need to find the manual and read up on that.  I know the animation goes by fast, so here is a still shot for you. (If the GIF is not playing for you, give it a minute to load, it should start.)

It is time for L.Y.A. to begin, and I have already received two side swaps! The colorful, whimsical mermaid came to me from Sarah Calhoun in Atlanta. She had a treacherous trip, but managed to make it in one piece. I smiled when I opened the mail.

 

L.Y.A. 2016 Side swaps #1 and #2. Sarah Calhoun, "Mermaid". Michele Matucheski, "Hope in Winter.

The tree is from Michele Matucheski in OshKosh. She used coffee-stained textures and salt blooms on her photo to create a dreamy landscape. Thank you both so much for sharing your gorgeous art with me! I love them! Your cards will be in the mail soon.

 

 

 

 

Sunflower Signs

Spent yesterday painting signs for the bridal shower. The centers are chalkboard paint so they can add “turn left” or other directions as needed.

Kat Sloma has added a new batch of decorated envelopes on her blog. Take a peek, you will see one you recognize.  I am so in awe of all the talent being shared. Only one week to go, and then the swap begins. So excited!

Happy weekend everyone!

And they’re off!

I don’t know who was the first to decorate their envelope for Kat, but now it is part of the fun we all look forward to. Kat shares them on her blog for us all to see.

I reused a padded envelope, and that helped create cracks on the vase when I applied crackle paint. The crackle also gave a shine to the vase, in contrast with the matte paint elsewhere.

Sunday is the last day to sign up for Kat Sloma’s 2016 Liberate Your Art postcard swap. The deadline to actually mail art to Kat is March 12. Join in!

Happy weekend ya’ll!
