Bye for now

N.B.

Just a quick posting to remind you that the Doll Painting 2 week class starts tomorrow at 10.30. I know it's short notice but the computer has only just been returned from the computer hospital so haven't been able to access it for a week. If I can find photos of the paintings I will post them later today.
Bye for now

Feast or Famine...

...or like buses when three come all at once. No posts (bad blogger that I am) and then a looong one tonight so grab a cup of coffee and a biccie or two and relax - lots of pictures and not too many words so not too onerous!! Lol!

For the start of the year I devised a project where the girls could make their own art journal over the course of five or six weeks learning new techniques along the way.

I had done this myself last year as part of Kate's 365 day challenge which they had followed with interest - they were so excited...

I will put some of the fabulous pages the girls have made when I remember to photograph them... So here's mine for 2011....
January is spritz, snip, stencil and create ...

splash and splatter for February's heart banner...

weird doodled letters and stippling through offcuts in March...

Loads of painty fun in April...and some 3d writing... flying high with a spot of punching and doodling in May...

Showing the girls styles that they might not have come across in June...

introducing another art style in July... August with flipflops and long cool drinks... over resist Last night the girls were absorbed painting September's page...

September and the leaves are changing colour ...

the spooky October page... The ribbon technique explained with a real piece of ribbon for November... and December and dry brush (or rather dry Dabber) technique and masking... the "All about me" page...except I haven't yet worked out how tall 5 foot 3 inches is in metric...

and the back cover says it all.....Bye for now
