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.

Coffee flowers and Zazzle cards

This is my update for the week for Artists in Blogland.  Well, I finished my Creative Tuesday's challenge of Kitchen.  My witches kitchen can be viewed here or in the blog entry below this one.  The next fortnightly challenge is Morning and I already have ideas for this one.

I have also been playing around with coffee, yep using coffee as a basis for a picture.  Not only is it wonderful to work on but smells heavenly as well.

Also I ordered some cards from zazzle of some of my designs to see what they would look like, which have now arrived and I am soo pleased with them. So I have now decided to open a Zazzle store, I will keep you all posted on that.

After reading my update for the week, check out what everyone else has been doing at the Artists in Blogland page. Thank you so much for dropping by and have a great weekend.

What have I been doing this week?

Well, I have joined the oh so talented and lovely Jane Davenport's Supplies Me on line workshop.  This class looks fabulous, with such lovely other participants.  I have not yet managed to start on my first assignment but am hoping to do that this weekend.

My beach huts bag arrived from Zazzle, it was a good test as I realised that paler items on frabric are not so vibrant.  But I think I will open a shop once I can get my head around all the correct sizings (pixels and ppi's), its another world!

I am part of a fortnightly co-op called Creative Tuesdays, and next Tuesday's entry is Kitchen, so I have had my thinking cap on and have been working on that, this is a sneaky little bit of my entry still being worked on, but I don't want to give the whole game away.  Visit my blog next Tuesday to see the finished item.

Finally, I painted four ACEO size owls.

 Hop over and visit the fabulous Artists in Blogland to catch up on everyone elses week.

Good weekend to everyone and my thoughts and best wishes to those who are were affected or are still suffering from the terrible 9/11.
