Whimsy Art

I've been enjoying my new art class. Whimsy Art sponsored by Arttrader magazine. I don't my scanner hooked up so I haven't been able to scan my homework!

More Art..

I'm starting a new art class next week so be prepared to see some new and possibly frightening art work from yours truely....

I'm hoping to spend more time working on this blog. I think I have 3 or 4 of them in various places in cyberspace and none of them are much more than a profile. One of my goals this year is to have a real blog....like the ones I enjoy reading so much!

Pay it forward Blog giveaway

This is a free giveaway and everyone is encouraged to play - worldwide! It's open to everyone who reads my blog.
The first FIVE people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you.
This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2- What I create will be just for you.
3- It will be done this year. (that's right, before December 31, 2009!)
4- You have no clue what it's going to be. I dabble in quite a few mediums. Who knows?
5- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange. But I would never send something that I didn't like myself!
The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must re-post this on your blog and make the same offer to the first 5 people who respond on your blog entry, thereby continuing the fun! (Though you can keep it local if you want, I don't fear international postage!)
The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did, will win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me!
Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it! Sounds like fun, right? So, let's play!

Back Again

Wow!
I didn't even know that I had this blog. When I signed in I was reminded that I'd used it for an online drawing class.
You can see my early drawing endeavours!

Now I'm into crocheting, reading, crafting of all types, swapping and just a little drawing and painting. I'm trying my hand at the fabric arts and have made a few dotee dolls.

I received a sewing machine quite a few months ago but have only used it twice; to make linings for my crocheted handbags.
