Fairy Princess

 Hallo,
   A quick morning post as the hubby and I are headed for Biloxi for the night to see Pat Benatar in concert!!!! She always puts on a great show!!! (my DS will be home for the weekend to keep the pups company :)
  I finished this picture earlier this week. I started with this beautiful digital image from Selina Fenech which I colored with polychrome pencils onto 'cryogen white ' cardstock.(from Paper Temptress)
  I cut her out using a die but leaving her wings and the lily pad outside the edges. I layered her to 'silver ore glimmer cardstock' and then to an over lay called 'silver bohemian by Hambley' and more of the silver ore glimmer behind that - all are from Paper Temptress.
  I used a bunch of flowers for accents - the 2 smallest ones I left white and one down in the bottom right corner was already a pretty blue - the rest were white to start with and I sprayed them with turquoise glimmer mist . I added her crown from my stash with a rhinestone at the top added to match her wings and a couple flat backed faux pearls for good measure!!!
  She was mounted onto a canvas board and framed - 11 by 14 inches.
   All for now - gotta get a move on this am...

Walkin the dogs....

 Hallo,
   Well it has been a busy week and I didn't get much walking time in. Spent yesterday in the studio - should have another painting or two to show you soon...
   After the studio I loaded up the pups and took them for a walk in the woods and a bit of time at the beach (on the military base) and as you can probably tell they had a good time and burned off a bit of energy!!!
  This first picture of Duke is my favorite of the day - he loves to run and loves the water!!!
   All for now - Have a great day!!!

Windblown

Hallo,
  Working today but since I had something done to show you, I will pre-post....
   I got this card done yesterday. I colored this sweet image from 'A Day for Daisies' with polychrome pencils onto 'cryogen white cardstock (as usual).
  The cryogen white as well as the base cardstock for this card - silver luster cardstock - can be found on Paper Temptress and they are 2 of my very favorite cardstocks.
  The silver luster makes wonderful wedding and anniversary cards as well as adding an elegant touch to any card.
  I added silver corner stickers, and some plastic clear flowers with a pearl and paper flower on top. Then I added a couple smaller flowers with a rhinestone and pearl center (sshhh - one of the little flowers covers a pencil smear)
   Lastly I added some liquid pearl drops with a viva décor pearl pen - onto her wings and in the centers of the flowers in her hair - and a couple on her cheek.....
    All for today - I hope to have another encaustic piece to show you this weekend.

Zentangled wirst braclet

Hallo,
  A quick post this afternoon as I gather energy for one last push and get some house work done tonight....
  I bought a bunch of plain wood bracelets for my Zentangle class (with CLL - Center for Life Long Learning) to play with this time as well as the bottles I usually have as a project for class. Last year in addition to the bottles I had given them some clay board to play with.
   I got the bracelets off of Amazon - this one is a large one and the opening is 2 and 3/4 inches.
   I left a bunch plain but sprayed a few like this one with walnut stains - this one in a greenish tone - and some in a terra cotta and some in a darker walnut. The design was done with a sharpie and then sealed with gel medium ( you could also use modge podge).
   I plan on taking some pics of the students bracelets(and the bottles) so pop back in sometime :)
