The End

As you can see, I never got to downloading those few photos I took of my art I made a while ago.  Sorry about that.  I think I'm going to stop this Blog too.  And change to just posting my art on the Spiritweigh1 site instead.  

Going to redo a bit on that blog too.  Still - if I have them - will post on Sunday's any art that I've done along with my usual posts.  So if they hit the same day.... might end up with two postings!

This of course is not any of my art - but thought it was cute.



If you are looking for me... you know where to find me.  I will leave this blog up though.  Just not active.

Toodles!!!

It's ?


I have no idea what it is suppose to be, but I like it.



And that's the last of my drafts of paintings.  I think I have a couple left on the camera, so I will down load them and hopefully have one or two for next Sunday. 

I think I seriously have to get to my paintings!  And stop adopting kittens.  ha ha ha ha.

Snowman

Made this last year for Christmas.  It's a delightful Snowman.  I quite like how it turned out.  Was thinking maybe making another Christmas design this year, but looks like I'm not getting to it.  Maybe next year....  it's a plan.

Sheep In The Field


Thought I'd try a sheep theme picture.




Mostly a glue type picture.  Super, super simple I know.  Kinda cute.


Then onto Finnbar again:





Not sure how I feel about it.  Came out ok, just doesn't draw me in.  I wonder if it's missing something.  Then again, maybe it's not me because it belongs to someone else.

I seriously have to get to my art work - otherwise I will be posting....nothing..... or just what I find on the internet!

Treasure Box

I decided to try another box.  Instead of the 'black' finbar design, I just used colour and real objects.  I still think the outside needs something on the outside front, but I can't think of what.  Maybe a black design.




The top has a clear top so that you can look into the box.  



Here is a clearer photo of the inside.  Just simple things but looks nice.  A small treasure.

More Christmas Cards


Just a few super quickies:  

Here are a few more Christmas cards that I made when my sis was here.  I just realized..... I need to find them so I can use them!



Well, that was a very quick, short post!!!!!

40 Cards Made

My sis planned a "Stain Glass Cards" day.  Some how I thought it was stain glass but with Christmas cards.  I guess I was so focused on the fact that I needed Christmas cards.  

We started and made a birthday card:



Then I went rough and asked to make stain glass Christmas cards....  Here is the total of cards made.  My sis helped me in the doubles and made 11 of them.




Penguins and Reindeer:


These are the forest wishes:



 Simple tree writing:


Then made some Joy cards: (I made both)  Love the Mandarin orange colour. 



Sis made these:                                  I made these:


I made two bottom red ones, sis made top 3 red ones:


These were simple snow ones:



Another set made by sis:




And mine:




 Thought a few town scenes would be nice:

Ironically, this is the only Christmas stain glass one I made:


Of course I had to make one for my sweetie hubby:


Finally the last one I made.  I knew I wanted to make it purple.  Sis said the big snowflake would be nice with the white coming thru.  So I put purple on the back of the white card, went and punched out the snowflake on the purple for the front...... And realized, hey, wait.... Now I had a single purple snowflake in one hand, and a cut out of the outline of the snowflake on the purple.  That didn't work.  I sat there as sis worked on her computer, and I wondered.  Then I put the snowflake back into the purple cut out.... not exactly right as it blended too much.  Then I thought, wait, I could put a raised sticky so the snowflake would be higher, and sparkle the inside flake, and finally add a diamond.  Can't see that the snowflake is raised, but it looks lovely.  Haven't decided who to send it too.  Sis really liked it.... maybe I will send it to her!  ha ha ha 😄

November's Table

For November I did the dinning table in black and red - for Remembrance Day.  I added a Finbar that I had made a while ago.  The flowers I thought really added a nice Remembrance touch.



Sorry I got these posted a day late!

Hubby I Love You


Here's an extra posting.  

One of the things I had thought of was I would one day get a tattoo for my hubby.  (after he passes)  But I wanted to try painting it first.  I realized AJ is my rock.  So that was the start.  In the rock is the heart.  In the painting the rock looks like a frog or hippo - I know!  Then there is a tree.  I couldn't make the tree I see.  One of those thinner trees with branches out.    Like an Evergreen type.  And then the sun is to be looking out from a cloud.  Not exactly what I painted.  The 'I love you Beyond' is a hug/joke we say to each other.  One says I love you. Other says I love you more.  Hubby then says I love you mostest.  And me....I love you beyond.






In October it was our anniversary.  So I made the card for him.  It's ok.




Cucumber Patch

Remember I mentioned on the SpiritWeigh1 blog that a neigbour had given me some cucumbers and that I gave him a card...

Think it's a cute card.




Next I tried to make some piggy cards.  Not too impressed with them.  Early summer attempts.  Realized I'd better post these soon as it's been a long while!!!  Ophs.

For My Friend


Made the above card for our friend Mina.  It's her 90th birthday this month.  My sister helped me make this card when she was here a few months ago.  I liked it.  Turned out well.


The other two below are some cards I also made while my sis was here.  Again, they turned out well.  Just haven't found a use for them - yet.

Funerals

Ok, so I tried again at making a card.  We heard from two friends that had lost a family member.  Instead of buying cards, I made the two.  Ironically, we had 3 in total this last month.  The two I mentioned, and a family member who lost her aunt.  (sent a card instead of making one as I wasn't sure what to make on it.  Only have a few stamps etc.)

I found I had a stamp that says 'Thinking of you'.  Glad.

This one is for a friend who's father died:




In the dog park, in the morning, there is a woman who I get together with - when we are on the same schedule....  Her husband had been having cancer issues etc and died a few days ago.  Here is her card:




Thought they both turned out well.

Streaks

When we lived in the other house, and I was going to the art class, I did this painting.  Two problems with this post of the painting - one - that black square is another painting in the glass frame, and two - I can't get it turned (???)  If I click on it to rotate it, it comes out right but when I post it...it goes sideways.  I don't know why.

The colours were based on the colours in that house:  Purple, green, yellow.




This one was just a brush stroke painting.  Tried something different.

Dark

Just two simple pours with black.

This one looks like it's perfect for Halloween!  The colours work.




This one was on the wall and ended up on someone's wall!  Hurray!  My brother/sister in law came for a visit a few months ago, I said pick whatever one speaks to you.  They both decided on this one.  Glad they liked one of my paintings.

Giving


These ones are perfect for this Sunday!  It's Thanksgiving today here in Canada.

This one is the latest paint pour I did.  Looks like there's someone running down on the bottom.







This is the one that's perfect for today.  I find three figures in it that all seem to be 'giving'.  They have their arms stretched out as tho they are giving or praying.  One is in the upper left - blue.  One is in the green (white outline in it).  And one is very tiny at the bottom right side.

A perfect Thanksgiving painting!  ha ha ha

In the Jungle #2

Ok, let's try this again!  I just realized I posted this on SpiritWeigh1 instead of this blog.  Ha ha ha.  😊

A while ago Jacqui suggested I was this flower.  As she described it, I pictured it and thought I'd try to paint it.  This is the outcome.  Funny thing is, when I look at it, I can feel a connection to it.




This one was an attempt of steps in a jungle.  Thought it turned out pretty good.



I know, the paintings are getting less and less.  Unfortunately I haven't been painting much etc.  But I will continue to post what I have!
