Sarah's Art Work

   I am so proud of Sarah , I think she did an excellent job for her age ...she just turned 6 Dec. 8th, she said the one tree was done with marbles and paint !

Wedding Invite - RSVP

This is a RSVP card that was sent to me by my Nephew and is bride for their Wedding. The one card was blank and they asked that we respond with something on the card as they wanted to display them for the reception..I could not think what to put on it ,finally I went to their Facebook pages and found this of a sunrise on Ashley's wall.

The top is the one I painted, the bottom is the one I copied, but I did not get the colors just like it, as I was wanting them to wonder and asked them if they recognized it .I do not know what they thought of it yet . It is a challenge when you only have one card to work with and postcard size at that!

Marble Sculpture -Philadelphia,PA. Train Station

I was so amazed at the time and work put into this sculptured Mural inside the train sation in Philadelphia,Pennsylvania.

The first time I ever saw it was in 2000 when I took a train trip from Florida to Michigan to see my Daughter and her new baby Kayla Sue. At that time I was by myself , when we arrived there we had to wait for an hour or so to get on another train to Michigan, I did not see it right away but when I did ,I took  a picture of it on a disposeable camera , that camera did not do it justice, so when Mom, Rexa and I went to Pa, in 2008 I had a ditigal and this is what I got , it was a shame I could not get the whole mural in one shot . I just can't imagine how long it took the artist to do this, but it sure is a fantastic work of art ! . I thought it had something to do with different means of travel.  Humm.... Maybe there is one in another train station too, because I remember seeing the horses , wagon train , older train ,airplanes,stage coach ,boats and then the model T car,  I did not think the artist name was there but it is . I clicked on the picture and it looks like Karl Bitter-1895.

I spent an hour looking it up ,I thought it was in Washington DC.but found it in Pa's train station instead ,so I made the corrct changes on here.This same station in Philly is where the extra tall colums are too.there is alot of wonderful detailed work put into the architecture of this train station.

Blue Jeans & Markers

This is something I was just playing with a month or so ago  I had some blue Jean 8" X 10" blocks cut out and decided to try my hand at coloring the flowers I drew with markers . This is the results,  I have plans to either make more the same size for a small lap quilt or hand bags or maybe even a tote bag  .
 I have not even tried to wash it yet I am afraid the colors will run and ruin the piece .
 I better make some marks on a scrap peice and wash it ,see what happens .
I know some of you are probably waiting for me to show the bible covers finished ,I have to say I am slow about those, but even if I did have them done, I will not be able to up-load any more  photos  until I find out what is going on with the  i-rocks port for up-loading my photos from the SD disk.
Hopefully I can get it fixed soon.

My Two Little Artists

I was asked if the girls Chloe & Sarah could stay with me for an hour or 2 last Saturday while Mom & Dad went to town .

Chloe is 8 and Sarah will be 5 in Dec.,I gave them both paper, pencils and watercolor paint ,the first picture is Chloe's ,the second one is Sarah's ,I helped her with the roof ,door and windows she did the rest. The painting part however did not turn out as good ,I should have paid more attention to how they were painting,but I was busy with something else while they painted .

I am amazed that Sarah is drawing so good for her age and I think she will be a follower in Grandma's footsteps as she seems to have more interest in doing art . Chloe is pretty good but I doubt she will stay with it, however I sure hope she does .They have an older brother Bradley who is excelent in creating things and is also an artist .The other brother Waylon is more interesting in taking after Papa and his Dad with machines and machanic work .
