Show and Tell update

This week's summary for my Artists in Blogland post.

I have joined  the lovely and talented Lori's LetterLab class over at Creative Workshops. With my current work schedule I have not yet had time to start but hope to this weekend, as I know that this class is going to be great.

I also finished my Creative Tuesday's challenge of incorporating the words "Thanksgiving or Thank You" in the work, see my post.

Lastly, I painted a very simple poppy to commemorate Armitice Day in the UK.  This was the day back in 1918 that peace was declared on the first world war on the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day in the eleventh month.  A lot of people will have a two minutes silence at 11am on 11th November each year.  During the second world war the Armitice Day was switched to a Sunday, so we now have Remembrance Sunday  as well, where also a two minutes silence is observed to remember all those who have given their lives for their country. So I have posted my poppy again to commemorate Remembrance Sunday.

Good weekend everyone.

Recycled Dogs

After my recycled cats, I did say that I could feel some recycled dogs coming up. These are again on recycled toilet roll holders and recycled papers.

I am linking these to Artists in Blogland Show and Tell Week 10.  I can't believe that it has been 10 weeks since Marcia started this fabulous blog. Check it out!

Black and white week

This week has felt a little meditative, I am having hectic days at work, so I need a little calming when I am at home hence the following. I find just doing repetitive line work so relaxing.

Well that was my week, so drop over to Artists in Blogland to see what other lovely artists have been up to.

Creative Tuesdays - Cupcake

As art-time has been limited this week I am sharing my Creative Tuesday's entry of Cupcake with my Artists in Blogland Show and Tell week.  Double cupcakes for the price of one (or should I say five)!

Pop over the Artists in Blogland today to see what other other people have been doing and then visit Mr T's Hot Toast and Jam blog on Tuesday.

Show and tell Saturday - Booted birdie

Hi everyone, I have been busy working on my Zazzle store which still needs fine tuning but is here if anyone wants to take a peak, or I have a link on the right bar of my blog.

I wanted to try out a new sketch pad to see how it worked with acrylics and markers. So I quickly painted the following sketch this morning.  This pad was lovely to draw and paint on, didn't buckle and the marker did not bleed, so I think it is a winner. I think that a version of this sketch may find its way into my store.

I have a thing at the moment for magenta and turquoise.

Why not pop over to Artists in Blogland to check out the action. The weather in the UK is glorious at the moment, so I am heading off outside.  Wonderful weekend to everyone.
