New class... Animalitos - mini mojo workshop

Have you heard about Tracy Verdugo??

She is one of my favorite mixed media artist.

First time I heard about her was in my Life Book class 2012 or 2013.

She was a teacher there and I really enjoyed her class.

Since then I have been following her and now Im taking her mini class, she is also having online class, the big one.

This year she is traveling around the world, teaching classes and if everything will work Im going to take one of her classes, live.. 

Im so excited, talking to her and learning from her in person together with other amazing artist from all over the world. 

In the class Im taking now, Mini Mojo we are playing with ink.

I love ink, low to watch it flow on the paper making beautiful pattern.

This was my first try, Im happy with it even though I did only have yellow ink and some Golden high flow colors. 

So I went shopping.... bought me some more colors and pens... ready to try my new colors..

And look, so bright and beautiful. Love playing with my inks..

Tracy did write a book last year, I bought me a copy on Amazon 

This is her book, beautiful cover and more beautiful inside. 

I was reading in her book and after reading I made this little elephant.

Tracy makes the most beautiful elephants.

I did try to make my own elephant, cute but far from what I want to be able to make... practice, practice, practice...

You can join her class if you want, here is the link to her class..

A new painting with a little doodling :)

I love drawing girls.

I love drawing girls with a bird on their head.

I saw a painting made by Tam (Tamara Laporte, Willowing) where she made a hair with a lot of lines and I wanted to try. 

Im happy with the  result, love my girl and her bird.

I do have more painting Im going to post, but they are on my Ipad, cant understand why I cant blog with photos from my Ipad.

Maybe one day Ill learn how to :)

Have a wonderful day

From my Paper Maché class

 Im taking a paper maché class here at home. I go there once in a week for three hours.

Our first assignment was to make a lady. That was not hard for me, Im used to making or painting ladies.

We did start making shoulders, then we made the head. I had to make mine with a long neck.

The hair was made with silk paper but the body with newspapers. I made her a neckless, that I made with wire and silk paper.

I made a beautiful dress for her with collage paper I have and started working with her face by adding white silk paper.

Before I had to add a wings to all my ladies but now Im not finished with out making a bird.

I love this long legged bird whispering some secret in her ear.

Now it was time to start painting. I took her home, I wanted to be in my studio, having my things around me to get the feeling for her face.

And she is done, what do you think? 

I might add some colored flowers to her hair, but just a little dots here and there.

In the next class I made this one. LOVE him...

Have a beautiful week and a happy PPF (S) Im always so late posting ...

29 faces in September

My face nr. 1 in 29 faces.

Im taking a part in a new project, called 29 faces. In September we have to paint and post 29 faces. How much fun is that going to be. I did start making my first one today and I have 3 more to make so I wont be behind.... Love project like this.. 
This is my first face, almost done, want to add a little more color to her clothing..

My Owl

Last weeks class at the Life Book was with Juliette Crane, How to paint whimsy animals. I did want to make an Owl and I did this little cute thing. But I did a mistake, I made her with a sleeves but not a wings so this is a Owl with sleeves surrounded with flying flowers, I must have been thinking of girl when I painted her and I was to tired efter my New York days. 

I think she is cute.

Going to practice more on whimsy animals.

Happy PPF to all of you..

Postcard swap... New York and more....

Last week I was on a trip to New York with my family. We stayed in Long Island for two nights with a family and then in Manhattan for two nights. 

We did have a very nice time both with the family and then in the city.

Just before we vent I made these postcards for a postcard swap I was taking part in.

Im always late posting here but someone has to be the last one...

I went to Michaels in Staten Island and bought a little art stuff, they did not have Golden gel so I have to get it later but I bought so cheep stamps, one dollar each some of them, here in Iceland I have to pay dollars 20 or more for each. 

I did not find it easy to find magazine from Stampington but I found two Somerset Studio and one Cloth, Paper, Scissors. I was going to buy Journaling but I have to order it as I did not find one.

Happy last PPF friday...

Hope that Ill be on time next time..
