Angels Here
This is the time of the year when I forget about Halloween and even Thanksgiving, and start thinking about Christmas--no I'm not really one of those early bird people that start getting ready for the holiday in the beginning of the year--just the opposite actually. But..my next show in 3 weeks is for the all of those people who do think like that--Christmas in the Woods in Columbiana, Ohio (my favorite show!)
Last year I was thinking snowmen--but this year--I'm thinking angels. So the first thing I did was get out a piece of watercolor paper and started sketching--
...next--I got out my favorite form of watercolor--my neocolor crayons and some chalk pastels and gave her some color--
....AND then...I put her on an 11 x 14 gallery canvas and surrounded her in my new-found papers by Prima ("Fairy Rhymes")--
I enjoyed doing this so much....that I did it again....
I also made my "guardian angel"
and last but not least--what else do I finish my blog posts with--but my latest box!
...but I still have angels on my mind....

Angels, a New Workshop, and EXCITING News!
It's never too early to start thinking about Christmas angels, especially when it comes to art and craft shows. The shoppers that come to these shows are usually always Christmas shopping no matter what the time of year is, and apparently all of the craft stores know this too. Geez, Summer isn't even over with yet, but when I walk into Michaels---it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....
So when I decided to make some angels I knew that I wanted to make them in She-Art style--
....and then I made another one....
This time I added some different collage elements--
with the lace and pearls--I'm really liking how these dresses ended up.
Okay and a workshop to tell you about. Even though the next few months are my busiest of the year, I had no choice but to sign up for this workshop--

If you have every art supply out there and don't really know how to use them, then this is your workshop offered by Jane Davenport. She's going to teach us how to get the best results with different art mediums emphasizing on the face and also the body, which is even better. So this workshop was not an option for me--I had to sign up for it. And you can still sign up too--all of the details are HERE.
Okay, so what's the exciting news?? Well, a couple of days ago my son told my husband and I that FINALLY, FINALLY we are going to be grandparents!! Not only are we excited to have our very first grandchild, but my other kids are VERY excited that they are going to be Aunts and Uncles too! This certainly has been a year of unexpected happenings for us, and with the exception of losing Leo, all ending up to be good things!

More Angel Love and a Pink Flamingo
Okay so at the end of this week I'm off for my final show of the season, and I have to say that I'll be glad--I am burnt out!! I had to make one more angel though--
And I had one more chair left, and that's where I put her--
But.... I also made her into a piece of wall art--
With an up-cycled $1.00 frame that I spray-painted copper. A very easy peasy with a lemon squeezy!
And remember my first angel that started it all that I showed you here? Well, she was meant to go here--
I love my little group of angels that I'm taking with me!
So what about the pink flamingo? Well on Kathy's blog Kluless, she mentioned that she loved flamingos and that she had a collection of them. I like flamingos too, but I don't really collect them, but I do have a couple, and one in particular that I bought years ago at a craft fair that I wanted to show her. I really like it. So Kathy--here's my favorite pink flamingo (although it's a bit faded with age)

Peace
First of all--you guys--Thank You--all of you. I knew if I asked for help, I'd get it. What I've done is make a jewelry folder in my computer and I've bookmarked all of the links that everyone has told me about. I bet you can guess what my winter project is this year!
I've had to put my "jewelry making" on the back burner for a bit (but not for long). I still need to get back to my "day job", because I have ONE more show to go. I must say, that I enjoy this, but next year--easing up on the show circuit. I completely missed Fall this year---when we didn't have the gloomy days, the weather here was beautiful--at least I think it was--I couldn't really enjoy it, because I was too busy here to even get out.

Oh well--about the post, and what I've been doing. In keeping with the style of the Santa that I showed you here, and the Snowman that I showed you here, I made another angel--
I was struggling with her at first, but then I just listened to my own advice, and let her help me, and everything just came together--
I just love to use collage and lots of texture when I make pieces--even if I try not to. I guess you should do what appeals to you the most--right?
So in the end---it all came together--
This is fairly large--about 24 inches long, and no matter how many I took, I just didn't like the photos--but trust me---it's better in person. And right now, I'm working on another angel type--a little bit different medium. I really do enjoy making angels!
