4X4 Friday: Red

Here is my entry for today's challenge. This little girl looks completely full of mischief! This is about all I managed to finish today since I am still working on my blog setup, and somehow I cut my background image in half! Oh well tomorrow is another day...uah another day for me to screw up my new blog!

Theme Thursday: Snow

Today's theme is really great. It is winter or snow in unusual colors. I chose an image that I thought would look good with my black and creme background. I had fun making the little glittery snowflakes too. There is something close to magic when you see and capture a snowflake on a gloved hand. Too bad we don't get many opportunities to experience that feeling.

A Chocolate in the Mouth

Twisted Tuesday Challenge

Yes, I realize it isn't Tuesday, but I have to start somewhere, so I wanted to enter my "Chocolate" for the theme this week of something sweet.

Still Setting Up

I have been all over the web looking at other blogs and trying to decide how to set up my own. Well, this is very time consuming, and I am still looking....I tried to add a photo, but I think the file is too large so I am going to work on that now and see if I can get it to upload.

MY FIRST POST!

I have thought for a while now about starting a blog, and with the urging from a friend, here it is. I am excited that I am actually doing this, and I hope that someday others will read it, and enjoy it.

I will be telling you things about myself as time goes by, but the first thing I want you to know is that I love art. I am a retired public school art teacher, and I love children's art, so I hope to feature some children's art here as well as some of my own .

After being an acrylic artist for years, I have discovered all of the altered and paper forms of art, and I have completely embraced them. I enjoy altered books and other objects, ATCs, and collages. You will see a variety of things here, and I will be posting my art as a result of various challenges from time to time. Also, I will tell you if a piece of my art is for sale, and if you are interested you can post a comment and I will get in touch with you.

Well, enough talk for now. I am going to add some photos of some of my recent art pieces, and I will continue to update with new art when available.
