This canvas was quite a work in progress. A little here a little more there but never quite finished & I was not sure what direction it was going to take. Then I saw a quote & new exactly where it needed to go. I have placed birds in flight upwards to show the spirit/soul flying up & up not to be extinguished. I think it turned out quite nicely if I do say so myself :) Thanks for looking!! ~Seek Balance!

Pan Pastels-Hearts
This is a project from Donna Downey's class at Spark that I had not had a chance to finish up, that is until today :) It was a great class with her & I learned SO much more about Pan Pastels. I was apprehensive since I had tried at home & did not like what I had done. But she really understands this medium and give you lots of great tips on its use. Thanks!! I REALLY like how "on fire" the background feels. Just like LoVe can!!

Watercolors!!!
I was so inspired by Donna Downey's Inspiration Wednesday video this week! What really intrigued me was the product she used to turn ordinary paper into a surface that would take watercolors -- Golden Absorbent Ground. Then I went on the hunt for it. Found it. My Mom has long called poppies "such happy little flowers" and Donna used them in her video I thought, let me give this a try - but on canvas! I was leery at first because I didnt want to make a mistake but then I remembered in art, there are no mistakes! And I WENT FOR IT! I love how it turned out. I had this GREAT frame that I picked up on clearance for $1!(yes $1!!) and my happy lil flowers look so pretty it in! Cannot wait to try another canvas! This GOLDEN product is AWESOME!

She Art - Angel Done!
I was able to do some crafting today & it was AWESOME to get into my cave for a lil bit. I finished the details on the She Art Angel (my 1st angel) I made at Spark class taught by a fav of mine, Christy Tomlinson!! I really liked using the bright colors-which I do not use much-and I like the final product! Plus, my 1st time using a 6x12 deep canvas. Likey! Oh, by the way, used Sharpie Retractable I posted about & they were LOVELY to work with!! ~Seek Balance!

Shirt I Made! - Reverse Applique
I am in LUV with this shirt!! I learned the technique at Spark in Amy Tangerine's class! It was such FuN! I am going to make shirts for Christmas gifts & maybe who knows what else. It is a great fall craft to do & the possibilities are endless as to what you can use this technique on!
