Daisy Fairy

I don't know how every one else feels about the cold weather this year but I am so tired of the cold damp days of winter and ready for spring. So here is a little ( 4"x4") watercolor painting to get we mortals and Fairy's a like in the in the mood for some warm weather. I haven't decided on what I am going to do with Daisy yet, but hope you like.
I already feel a little warmer.

I am on the slide show!!!!

I am a member of the Create, Collect, Trade group on Flickr and as I was checking this very artistic Blog, http://createcollecttrade.blogspot.com/ I noticed that some of my ACEOs were on the slide show. Well I never expected this and I cant tell you how excited I was to see my art work displayed next to some every talented artist. THANK YOU.

Have you ever wondered?

No photos today.... I have been on the Internet a lot lately, and I have noticed some very odd blogs, web sites and Etsy shop names. Some of these I get a big giggle at. Then I noticed that some of the names "I use on line" may have others giggling. Where do we come up with these crazy names????

I grew up with the name doodlebug, it was a nick name given to me by ( I cant remember) who. I doodle-doodle-doodle all the time I almost always have pen and paper in hand. As a kid I was always getting into trouble for day dreaming but what I was really doing was doodling, the creative doodlebug suits me just as well today as it did as a child.
Alfamom comes from (AL) for Alabama (fa) farmers (mom), so now you know how some of us come up with our unusual or odd names.
How did you come up with your on line names?

Another watercolor

Still working with watercolors, this is (5"x7") I like how it turned out, but I am still a little rusty.

Lady in blue

Today I thought I would do some painting. It has been awhile since I pulled out my paints. But I was inspired by some artist on Flickr. I have never been very good when it comes to portraits, but this lady in blue was calling me to give it a try.

This one was done in watercolors. The other one is a fairy painting in acrylics, this one was done for my granddaughter.

Friendly Plastic!!!!!

Friendly Plastic

I had to go to Hobby Lobby the other day to pick up some much needed supplies, and low and behold hanging on the wall was rows of shining strips of Friendly Plastic.
It has been over 20 years since I worked with these beautiful glistening strips of plastic.
So I bought 5 strips to work with and new book by Design Originals, just cause I forgot how to work with it and to get new techniques.
Did you know you could stamp on the soft plastic or use embossing ink for some cool effects? For those of you who have never used it you must try this old/new craft it is so much fun!!! I can’t wait to get my hands back on these fascinating strips. I paid $1.99 each but a little goes along way and most every thing else you need, can be found around the house.
If you have worked with this product let me know how you like it!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009

Just would like to wish everyone a very happy new year in 2009. I know it is a day late, but what can I say.

May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts.
May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet of $100 bills. May love
stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips! May
your clothes smell of success like smoking tires and may happiness slap you
across the face and may your tears be that of joy. May the problems you had
forget your home address! In simple words ............
