Rick Worth's Boot Camp

A few weeks ago I attended Rick Worth's Boot Camp.   It's a two-hour camp (this one was for women) where you paint a finished painting in two hours.  You use house paint in primary colors plus black and white.   He has a great approach, is funny, and very instructional.    It is certainly a fun time.

Wire Wrapped Pendant

A couple of years ago I made dozens of wire wrapped pendants. Sold a bunch. Need to make more, but this was the last one left and this week it found a new home in Pennsylvania. I am happy that it's going to a good home and will now feel like I can make a bunch more.

Sorry I haven't posted recently, but I've been having some problems with Blogspot and it turns out a google 'fix' didn't fix it. Hopefully no more problems.

Going to the Birds!!!

This is the back of my little polka dot house. It says "No matter where I go, going home is the best"

Don't you love polka dots. I do.
These little birds are ready to spread their wings.

This little house was an old Christmas ornament. It says "For rent, Quaint Cottage, Scenic View, Rents for a Song"

Let's do lunch. These little guys are having a grand old time. The menu items are from the restaurant where my son had his graduation luncheon.

These little guys love to get together and what better time than Happy House. Cheers.

I loves these little houses.

I love birds, birdhouses, maps, travel, and things related to each. When you love all these things ahd have little birds, this is what happens.

For a person who loves, repeats loves, frugal finds, remade objects, found object art and assemblage - all I could think of "Where have you been in my life?".
