And So it Begins....

Today I'm decking the halls!
This will be the first year in our new house & we are thrilled about that.
Such a pretty, cool house to begin with- 
I can't wait to see it with lots of twinkly white lights & a big tree!
The art I'm showing is from the printmaking class I'm in.  
Intaglio prints that I then painted back into with my favorite, gouache.

Bake it with LOVE


Spending the day baking for Thanksgiving with some of my favorite people.  
Not much of a cook but, I'm a true believer if you bake it with love it taste better!
(a drink or two never hurts either)

Printmaking



I went to my 2nd printmaking class earlier this week.  Linoleum block prints. 
side note: This is how I lost feeling in my left pointer finger in high school, accidentally gouging the carving tool into it.  OUCH!
You can imagine my trepidation about revisiting this method.

Took the carving slow & steady leaving the class band aid free!
*still not my favorite way to make a print but good to know I can do it without hurting myself...


I can see the above in shades of green with a few red pops as Christmas wrap.




Hard for me to leave any meeting, phone call or waiting room with out doodling a flower or two!



This one is how I feel about Friday!
Cheers to the weekend...
