Chihuahuas - from the birthday party!


Here are the finished chihuahuas, photo taken by the birthday girl's mom. I think they did a splendid job, even if we DID have 13 to juggle at the party with those glue guns!!
Fun fun!

Painting for WIFT-AT


are **Women Making Waves – Mar 9-11th** for the conference in Halifax, NS.
Although I can't attend this time around, here is a piece, entitled 'Home' I did for the event:


This first one is a digital test in Photoshop.


And this is the finished acrylic painting, 16x20 inches!

Women Making Waves puts the confer in conference, the wise in wisdom, and the expert in experience. Whether you're a salty vet, an emerging auteur, or a student discovering your love of the art via the Independent Category on Netflix, there will be something here that excites, illuminates, provokes or inspires you.

¡Ay Chihuahua!

This weekend, we have an art party coming up where SassyTuna has been requested to make some chihuahua projects that we (a group of 14 or so girls) will make step by step...I made one this morning, to test the pom pom sizes out. Hopefully the girls will allow me to post their finished puppies, too!

Pie and the Storm

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

The 'Storm' we were supposed to have on Saturday never really turned into much, but it was a perfect 'pie' day. This recipe was made from allrecipes.com, and after trying 3 different varieties of ingredients, this website seemed to have the best mix. . .

Happy New Year! Here are some photos taken last night, after I had a few minutes in the studio to tidy up. (Totally not perfect yet!)

Here is the front, when you come in for a party or art lesson. The mailbox (in white on the red table) is sitting waiting to be painted. I don't think it's a good idea to put it up yet, with all the slush and ick this time of year)


This is what one side of the room looks like when you come in.

Here is the other side.

Here is another corner, where the children sometimes post artwork.

Here is a HUGE 8-foot white board. It is VERY good for playing drawing games.

This is the petite and fun bathroom. For some reason, people feel like the fish are 'watching' them in the loo!

Here is the kitchen, with a massive phone on the wall that actually works!

The Green Screen room, where we make movies, music videos and animations.

Here is some of the technical gear that makes it all happen.

This is the 'game plan' for when a 'movie' birthday party happens. Every party is unique and fun!
